IntroductionThe Faculty of Engineering at the Universityof Calgary was established in 1965. Thedegrees awarded by the Faculty since itsinception have been recognized by theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board.The engineering curriculum in Calgaryconsists of a well-balanced mixture oftraditional topics in engineering sciences andspecialization in subjects relevant to currentindustrial practice. The academic staff, aswell as the students, of the Faculty ofEngineering come from all parts of the world,giving the Faculty its uniquely friendly andinternational atmosphere.

EnquiriesEnquiries regarding admission, registration,interpretation of regulations, or any matterregarding undergraduate studies in Engi-neering should be directed to the Office ofUndergraduate Studies, Faculty of Engineer-ing, Room EN-C204, Telephone 220-5732.Students and prospective students areinvited to view pertinent information availablethrough the engineering website,www.eng.ucalgary.ca.

PatternNormal admission to the Faculty of Engineeringtakes one of two forms: (1) students areadmitted to the first year of the program directlyfrom high school; (2) students are admitted tothe first year or second year of the programafter having received advanced credits fromanother University of Calgary faculty or fromanother post-secondary institution.

The first year of the Engineering program iscommon to all students. In April of the firstyear of study, students apply for admission toa discipline: Chemical, Civil, Computer,Electrical, Geomatics, Manufacturing,Mechanical, Oil & Gas, or Software Engi-neering. During second year, students notonly complete courses common for all

disciplines, but also courses specific to theirchosen discipline.

In the third year students take specializedcourses in their chosen discipline. At the endof third year students at their option mayenroll in the Engineering Internship Program(EIP); this program consists of 12 to 16months of work in an industry setting wherestudents gain valuable practical engineeringexperience (see Engineering InternshipProgram, later in the Engineering section ofthis Calendar). This academic program isavailable to all students.

In some disciplines during the fourth year ofstudy (fifth year for Internship enrollees)students have the option to take a minorspecialization in one of several areas. Inaddition to the technical requirements,students take complementary studiescourses in non-Engineering and non-Sciencesubjects as an integral component of anEngineering education. This pattern issomewhat different for students who enroll ina combined degree program with one of theFaculties of Humanities or Social Sciences.(See Combined Programs, later in theEngineering section of this Calendar.)

OpportunitiesTo practice engineering in Canada as aprofessional (P.Eng.) one must be registered(licensed) with the professional engineeringassociation of the province or territory inwhich one practices. All BSc degrees offeredby the Faculty of Engineering are accreditedby the Canadian Engineering AccreditationBoard (CEAB) of the Canadian Council ofProfessional Engineers, a federation of the12 professional engineering associations inCanada which registers and licensesengineers. Students graduating from theseprograms fulfill the academic requirementsfor registration as Professional Engineerswith the province or territory where theychoose to practice.

Student AffairsEngineering Students’ SocietyThe Engineering Students’ Society (ESS) is anorganization affiliated with the Association ofProfessional Engineers, Geologists andGeophysicists of Alberta. The ESS provides asocial atmosphere for engineering studentsand, in addition, acquaints them with theprofessional and technical responsibilities ofthe profession. It is expected that all Engineer-ing students will join the Society, participate inits activities and promote its interests.

By majority vote of the engineering-studentpopulation, in 1995 the Engineering Stu-dents’ Society established the CalgaryEngineering Endowment. A $25.00 persession optional levy is included in the tuitionof every engineering undergraduate student.Interest from the endowment is used topurchase equipment for the undergraduatelaboratories. The funds are distributed by theEndowment Board of Directors whosemembership consists of a majority ofundergraduate students. Proposals arerequested in March of each year.

ResourcesComputers in EngineeringAll engineering disciplines make extensiveuse of computers. Accordingly, microcomput-ers are used throughout the undergraduatecurriculum. The faculty has a number ofcomputer laboratories for use by under-graduates. Nevertheless, for the conven-ience of the student and to reduce load onthe laboratories, students entering engineer-ing are encouraged, but not required, topurchase a microcomputer for use through-out their academic careers. For guidance,note that the vast majority of machines inuse in the Faculty of Engineering arePentium III or 4 based machines that can bebooted to run either a recent MicrosoftWindows operating system or a recentversion of the Linux operating system. Inmany cases software is made available atlow cost through University licenses. Othersoftware purchases may be suggested byinstructors in individual courses.

Faculty RegulationsStudents in the Faculty of Engineering aregoverned by the academic regulationscontained in this section and also in theAcademic Regulations section of thisCalendar. Students are advised to read andconsider all regulations and, in cases ofdoubt as to precise meaning of any state-ment or regulation, to consult the Under-graduate Studies Office, Faculty of Engineer-ing, Room C204.

AdmissionsAdmission RequirementsNew applicants should refer to “AdmissionRequirements” in the Academic Regulationssection of this Calendar for regulationsregarding University admission. Studentswishing to enroll in the Faculty of Engineer-ing must meet minimum admission require-ments for Standard Admission as set out inthe front section of this Calendar.

Students who have completed most of theirhigh school work two or more years prior tothe time of application should contact theOffice of Undergraduate Studies, Faculty ofEngineering.

Students required to withdraw from anotherfaculty or another post-secondary educa-tional institution because of an unsatisfactoryacademic record will not normally beconsidered for admission to the Faculty ofEngineering within 12 months of thewithdrawal. Students seeking admission orreadmission to the Faculty of Engineeringwho have been determined (through dueprocess) to be guilty of academic or non-academic misconduct at this or any otheracademic institution must accompany theirapplication with a letter of explanation andwill be considered for admission on anindividual basis. Students who have beenexpelled from the Faculty of Engineeringmay not apply for readmission.

Students coming directly from high schoolmust present English 30, Mathematics 30 (orPure Mathematics 30), Mathematics 31,Physics 30 and Chemistry 30 as specified inthe Academic Regulations section of thisCalendar. They must apply for admission bythe deadline indicated in the Applications forAdmission Schedule and submit transcriptsto the Registrars Office as soon as finalgrades become available and, in any case,not later than August 1. Students who presentanother matriculation subject (e.g., Biology30, Social Studies 30) instead of Mathematics31 and who achieve a high standing (at leastfive per cent above the guaranteed admissionstandard) over the five subjects used foradmission purposes may be admitted to theFaculty under special conditions. Theseconditions involve enrollment in an alternativecalculus stream.

Students who have attended a post-secondary institution must apply for admis-sion by the appropriate deadline and submitall transcripts to the Registrars Office assoon as possible but not later than June 30.All applicants must present senior matricula-tion standing, or equivalent, in the fivespecified high school subjects, even thoughthey may have attended a post-secondaryinstitution.

Applicants who have an engineering degreemay be considered for admission to asubsequent engineering degree at theUniversity of Calgary if the degree programrequested is determined by the AssociateDean, Student Affairs, to be sufficientlydifferent from the prior degree program. Aminimum of ten half-course equivalents isrequired for completion of a Universitydegree.

Spring and Summer SessionsDeadlines for admission to the Spring andSummer Sessions are given in the frontsection of this Calendar.

Admission to EngineeringProgramChoice of an engineering program (Chemi-cal, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Geomatics,Manufacturing, Mechanical, Oil & Gas, orSoftware) is normally made during April ofthe first year of studies. While a place in atleast one of the programs is assured forevery student advancing to second year withsatisfactory performance, it is not alwayspossible to accommodate every student’sfirst choice of program. Students will notnormally be admitted to a program if they aredeficient more than two courses from the firstyear program or if they are deficient anycourses which are prerequisites for secondyear courses in the program of choice.

First year Engineering students wishing toenter the Biomedical Engineering Specializa-tion must apply for admission to the Biomedi-cal Engineering Specialization program atthe same time the choice of an engineeringprogram is made.

In the event that the number choosing aprogram exceeds the program quota, studentswill be admitted to the program in order ofacademic performance until the enrollmentlimit is reached. Academic performance isjudged on the student’s GPA for those coursesrequired for the engineering program andtaken during the last review period. Priority isgiven to students who have taken a full-courseload (normally eleven courses) in their lastreview period and who have all courses in thefirst year program complete.

The current second-year quotas for thevarious programs are as follows:

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering: 58

Civil Engineering: 76

Computer Engineering: 55

Electrical Engineering: 98

Geomatics Engineering: 50

Manufacturing Engineering: 44

Mechanical Engineering: 96

Oil & Gas Engineering: 16

Software Engineering: 43

Biomedical Engineering Specialization: 32

Students admitted to a program at thesecond year level include the continuingstudents who have completed their first yearsuccessfully in the Faculty and transferstudents. Many transfer-student files are notcomplete and thus no admission decisionhas been taken at the time registration startsin the summer. To give transfer students afair opportunity for admission to theirprogram of first choice, a certain number ofplaces will be allotted to the continuingstudents and the remaining places will beretained for transfer students. The number ofplaces in the two categories will be decidedeach year based on an assessment of thedemand, with the objective of admittingtransfer and continuing students to eachprogram with equivalent qualifications.Transfer students are assessed for programadmission on an equivalent basis tocontinuing students in terms of (a) thecourses for which they have obtainedtransfer credit towards the engineeringtechnical program, and (b) their GPA onthose courses. Continuing students whohave not registered in both Fall and WinterSession classes in their programs by July 15will not be guaranteed their place in theirprogram. Students who have not beenadmitted to a program will not normally bepermitted to register in courses in thatprogram, even if there is room in theindividual course.

Admission to Minors in FourthYearChoice of a minor within an engineeringprogram (e.g., Civil Engineering with a Minorin Environmental Engineering) is normallymade during April of the third year or of theinternship year. To be admitted to a minor, astudent must have completed the third yearprogram in the appropriate specialization

and have a GPA of at least 2.00 in thestudent’s last review period. In the event thatthe number choosing a minor exceeds thenumber that can be accommodated,students will be admitted to the minor inorder of academic performance until theenrollment limit is reached. Academicperformance means the student’s GPA ononly those courses taken in his/her lastreview period that are required for theengineering program.

Limited EnrollmentEnrollment in the Faculty of Engineering islimited. Applicants will be accepted on thebasis of academic standing in high schooland/or previous course work completed. As aconsequence of the limitation in enrollment,the following procedures apply. In addition,refer to information given under the headingAdmission to Engineering Program.

Readmission after Voluntary WithdrawalStudents who withdrew voluntarily from theFaculty of Engineering for two consecutivesessions (Fall and Winter Sessions of oneacademic year, or Winter Session and thefollowing Fall Session) and who wish toreturn, must re-apply for admission by theprescribed deadlines and will be consideredin competition with all other applicants.Students are encouraged to consult with theAssociate Dean (Student Affairs) prior tomaking a decision concerning voluntarywithdrawal.

Transfer of Course CreditsThe Faculty of Engineering may granttransfer credit to students for courses takenin another post-secondary educationalprogram. Students must normally haveobtained an acceptable overall academicstanding to be eligible for transfer credit.Transfer credit will be considered for courseswhich are approximately equivalent tocourses in the Engineering program and inwhich grades of “C” or higher (60 per cent orabove) have been obtained. (Under somecircumstances students may also receivecredit for courses with grades of “D” or“D+”.). Transfer credit for a course will not begranted unless the student has obtainedcredit for the prerequisites for that course (aslisted in this Calendar). Credit will notnormally be granted for courses taken eightor more years prior to the date of admissionto the Faculty of Engineering.

Minimum Residence TimeTo qualify for a degree, a transfer studentmust successfully complete at least tworegular sessions of full-time study and aminimum of 10 half courses or equivalentwhile registered in the Faculty of Engineering.

Effective Writing RequirementAll students must satisfy the Effective WritingRequirement as outlined in the AcademicRegulations section of this Calendar.

RegistrationAccuracy of RegistrationAll students are responsible for the com-pleteness and accuracy of their registrationand for arranging course selections to satisfygraduation requirements.

Course WorkEquivalent CoursesApproval may be given by the AssociateDean (Academic) or by the relevant Depart-ment Head for a student to replace one ormore courses in the Engineering program byregistering in equivalent courses in otherfaculties. To receive credit, the student mustnormally obtain a grade of “C” or higher.

Final Year Technical OptionsA student in the final year of the Engineeringundergraduate program, who has a highacademic standing, may be permitted tosubstitute a graduate course(s) for a fourthyear departmental course(s) with theapproval of the department. The undergradu-ate grading scheme will apply to this student.

Part-Time StudiesThe academic regulations allow eight yearsfor successful completion of the program,with no stipulation for full-time study.Students wishing to pursue their educationwith a reduced course load or throughstudies coordinated with industrial experi-ence are encouraged to contact the Office ofUndergraduate Studies, Faculty of Engineer-ing, at the start of their studies so that asuitable program may be planned. As manyrequired courses are not offered in theevenings or during the Spring and SummerSessions, students should anticipate that itwill not be possible to complete their degreewithout a significant time commitment onweekdays during several academic sessions.

Permission to Take Courses forCredit at Another InstitutionNormally students are expected to completetheir programs through courses taken at theUniversity of Calgary. Students who wish totake a course elsewhere should obtainwritten permission from the Faculty ofEngineering before registering in the course,to ensure that it is acceptable for credit.

It is the responsibility of the student toensure that an official transcript of grades isforwarded directly to the Registrar of theUniversity of Calgary in order that theappropriate credit may be officially recorded.To receive transfer credit, a minimum gradeof “C” or equivalent (60 per cent or above)must be obtained in each transfer course.(Under some circumstances students mayalso receive credit for courses with grades of“D” or “D+.”) The grades obtained in suchcourses are not used in the computation ofgrade point averages for graduationpurposes.

Complementary StudiesThe following complementary studiescourses are required for all students in theFaculty:

(a) Engineering 209 (Economics 209)* —not open to first-year students

(b) Engineering 481 or equivalent

Current approved equivalent coursesare as follows:

General Studies (GNST) 341, Informa-tion Technology and Society

Science, Technology and Society(STAS) 325, Technology within Contem-porary Society

Science, Technology and Society(STAS) 327, Science and Society

Science, Technology and Society(STAS) 343, Science Policy andTechnology Development

(c) Communications Studies 363

(d) Engineering 513, The Role andResponsibilities of the ProfessionalEngineer in Society

(e) For all degrees, two general comple-mentary studies courses are required.

*Students entering Chemical Engineering, ChemicalEngineering with a Petroleum Engineering Minor, or Oil &Gas Engineering may choose a general complementarystudies course instead of Engineering Economics(Engineering 209).

General complementary studies coursesmust be selected from acceptable coursesoffered by the Faculties of Communicationand Culture, Fine Arts, Humanities, or SocialSciences. A list of acceptable courses maybe obtained from the Office of Undergradu-ate Studies, Faculty of Engineering.Students are responsible for ensuring thatany prerequisite conditions are satisfied.Students who have credit for Communica-tions Studies 361 gained prior to the 2003/04academic year are not required to takeCommunications Studies 363.

Student StandingRegulations on AcademicPerformanceThe Faculty of Engineering normally meets atthe end of the Winter Session to review theacademic performance of Engineeringstudents. A student is subject to review if thestudent has completed six or more half-courseequivalents since the student’s previous review(or since admission to the Faculty, in the caseof the first review). A student who has notcompleted at least six half-course equivalentsis not normally evaluated until a subsequentannual review when the student has com-pleted a total of six or more half-courseequivalents. At the annual review all coursestaken by the student since the previous review(or since admission in the case of the firstreview) will be included in the evaluation ofacademic performance. For any student whodid not achieve a grade point average of 2.00or higher on the student’s previous review orwho is on academic probation for otherreasons, only those courses taken during the

review period that are required for thestudent’s engineering program will be includedin the count of courses and in the evaluation ofacademic performance. Students who havenot cleared academic probation due to a failureto take six engineering courses within a periodof two years will normally be denied furtherregistration in the Faculty of Engineering.

For normal advancement towards the degree,students must register in courses directlyapplicable to the degree program in which theyare registered and must maintain satisfactoryperformance in their programs. Students arereferred to the general University regulationsregarding Unsatisfactory Standing underAcademic Standing in the Academic Regula-tions section of this Calendar.

Specific regulations for the Faculty ofEngineering are listed below.

1. A student who has a grade pointaverage (GPA) of 2.00 or higher and no“F” grades in the courses taken duringthe period under review will be consid-ered to have a satisfactory performance.

2. A student who has a grade pointaverage of 2.00 or higher and one ormore “F” grades in the courses takenduring the period under review shallclear such courses in the followingreview period.

3. A student who has a grade pointaverage of less than 2.00 will not begranted credit for any course in which agrade of “D” or “D+” was obtained duringthat review period. Such courses mustbe completed during the followingreview period.

4. Students must take lower level coursesbefore proceeding to higher-levelcourses even if they have the prerequi-sites for the higher-level courses.

5. Students must clear all first year coursesby the end of their second review periodor they will be required to withdraw fromthe faculty.

6. To clear a failed course or a course forwhich a grade of “D” or “D+” wasobtained but credit was not obtained, astudent must achieve a grade of at least“C-“ in the course being repeated or inan approved replacement course.Consistent with University regulations,the same course may be attempted nomore than twice. A student who fails toclear a course after two attempts maybe required to withdraw.

7. Any student who does not achieve agrade point average of 2.00 or greaterfor the period under review and who didnot achieve a grade point average of2.00 or greater for the student’s previousreview or a prior review (or who is onacademic probation for other reasons)will be required to withdraw from theFaculty. (Students are permitted amaximum of one probationary periodwhile registered as undergraduatestudents at the University of Calgary.)

8. A student with a grade point average ofless than 1.70 in any review period willbe required to withdraw from the

Faculty. Such students will not bepermitted to register in any coursespecified as part of the degree require-ments in Engineering for a period of 12months from the date of withdrawal.

9. A student who has been required towithdraw may apply for readmissionafter an interval of 12 months. Readmis-sion is not automatic and will beconsidered on an individual basis incompetition with all other admissionapplications received. On readmission,students’ records will be reviewed todetermine credits to be awarded.

10. A student who, after eight calendaryears from initial registration in theEngineering program, has not com-pleted degree requirements, will bedenied further registration in Engineer-ing. (The eight years does not includetime spent in the Internship Program, ifany, or the extra time spent by thosestudents in the combined degreeprograms.) For a transfer student, thepermissible number of years (properlyrounded) will be prorated according tothe number of credits in the program.Clarification of specific cases may beobtained from the Office of Undergradu-ate Studies, Faculty of Engineering.

Notes:1. The above regulations are stated in

terms of grades in half courses. A gradein a full course will be considered to beequivalent to two such grades.

2. The method used to determine thegrade point average is described underAcademic Standing in the AcademicRegulations section of this Calendar.

3. Grades obtained in courses in theSpring and Summer Sessions are notused to alter retroactively the rulingmade on a student’s performance at theend of the previous review period.

Dean’s ListTo be included in the Dean’s List, a studentmust achieve a grade point average of 3.60or higher during the review period, with atleast 10 half courses taken over theimmediately preceding 12 month period ofMay 1 to April 30.

ExaminationsSupplemental ExaminationsAt the discretion of the Engineering FacultyCouncil, supplemental privileges may begranted to fourth-year students. If theseprivileges are granted, the student will beinformed in writing and must then makeapplication to write the examinations pre-scribed. Supplemental examinations may begranted in Engineering courses required in thefinal year program to those students who, at thetime of the May, October or January meeting ofthe Engineering Faculty Council, will be eligibleto graduate if one or two “D,” “D+” or “F” gradesare raised by up to one full grade. A grade of atleast “C-” is required to obtain credit for acourse through a supplemental examination.

Where courses other than Engineeringcourses are involved, the successfulcompletion of another approved course maybe accepted as clearing the deficiency.

A student may be granted supplementalprivileges only once and to a maximum oftwo supplemental examinations in thecourses taken since the last review. Supple-mental examinations granted at the Januaryor October meeting of the EngineeringFaculty Council will be written in thefollowing April, and those granted at the Maymeeting of the Council will be written in thefollowing August.

GraduationGraduation RequirementsStudents are required to obtain credit for thefull set of courses listed in the Calendar forany particular program.

For graduation in all branches of Engineer-ing, a student must have an overall gradepoint average of at least 2.00 with nouncleared “F” grades. The average will becalculated by using the numerical equivalentof the best grade in each course taken. Afull-year course will be counted as two halfcourses for this purpose.

Note: An “F” grade in any technical electivecourse or complementary studies electivecourse may be cleared by a passing grade inanother acceptable technical elective orcomplementary studies elective, respectively.

Degrees with DistinctionThe notation With Distinction will be inscribedon the permanent record and graduationparchment of students who obtain a gradepoint average of at least 3.60 over the last 10full-course equivalents taken at the Universityof Calgary, with no more than one “D” or “D+”grade and no failures. The notation WithDistinction will not be granted if a studentobtains an “F” grade in a CR/F course(including Internship) which has beencompleted during the time period in which thelast 10 full-course equivalents have beentaken. For cases in which the last 10 full-course equivalents must include some, but notall, of a group of courses taken concurrently,the selection will be made in the manner mostadvantageous to the student. Students whohave taken part of their work at anotheruniversity or who have transferred into thisFaculty may be granted a degree WithDistinction at the discretion of the Faculty.

Biomedical EngineeringSpecialization

IntroductionThe Biomedical Engineering Specialization[BMES] allows a student to fulfill therequirements for a BSc degree in Civil,Chemical, Electrical, Geomatics, Manufac-turing or Mechanical Engineering and at thesame time complete a program in Biomedi-cal Engineering.

AdmissionFirst year Engineering students wishing toenter the Biomedical Engineering Specializa-tion must apply for admission to the Biomedi-cal Engineering Specialization program atthe same time the choice of an engineeringprogram is made.


2nd YearThe second year BMES program is the sameas the second year programs in Chemical,Civil, Electrical, Geomatics, Manufacturing orMechanical Engineering regular programsabove with the exception that:

(a) BMES students take the additionalcourses ENBM 309 Anatomy andPhysiology for Engineers and ENBM003 Health Care Management.

(b) BMES students attend regular ENGG319 lectures but take a special BMEStutorial on applied statistics for theexperiemental sciences.

(c) Civil, Chemical, Geomatics, Manufactur-ing and Mechanical Engineeringstudents in the BMES program takeENBM 325 Instrumentation andMeasurement in Biomedical Engineeringinstead of ENGG 325 Electric Circuitsand Systems.

(d) Electrical Engineering students in theBMES program take ENBM 327Instrumentation and Measurement inBiomedical Engineering for ElectricalEngineers instead of ENEL 341 Circuits I.

3rd and 4th YearsStudents in the BMES program completecourses in the regular Engineering programfor their discipline except that they takespecialized BMES technical electives and athird year course on Biomedical Engineering

Research. BMES students in the fourth yearof their program complete a capstoneBiomedical Engineering Research Thesis.

Further information regarding the BMESprogram is available through the Faculty ofEngineering Undergraduate Studies Office.

BMES PracticumAll BMES students are required to fulfillBMES Practicum requirements. This can besatisfied either through a regular EngineeringInternship placement (between the third andfourth academic years) or through threesummer BMES Practicum placements(totaling at least 12 months). Experience mustbe obtained with a suitable bio-engineeringcompany/research laboratory or universityresearch laboratory. All placements must beapproved in advance by the Director of theEngineering Internship Program.

Combined ProgramsAn engineering undergraduate degree maybe combined with any other undergraduatedegree program on campus. Students mayeither be admitted to two degree programswhen they first apply to the University or mayseek admission to a second degree programafter being admitted to engineering. Stu-dents are reminded that all degree programsat the University of Calgary are subject toquotas and it is the student’s responsibility tomeet the admission requirements for thesecond degree. Students should consult theengineering website or inquire at theEngineering Undergraduate Studies Officefor more information.

BSc(Eng)/BA and BSc(Eng)/BScPrograms with the Faculties ofHumanities and Social Sciences

AdmissionRefer to “Faculty Regulations – Admissions”above.

Note: A quota applies to admission to thePsychology program. Students wishing topursue a combined degree in Engineeringand Psychology must consult the AssociateDean (Student Affairs) in the Faculty ofEngineering regarding admission procedures.

RequirementsA combined Engineering degree and a BAdegree in Humanities or a BA or BSc inSocial Sciences can be obtained by taking aprescribed program over a period of fiveyears. The framework of this program issummarized as follows (there are slightvariations depending upon the combineddegree sought):

1st YearFour and one-half full-course equivalentsfrom the first year engineering program

One full-course equivalent from Humanities/Social Sciences Major

2nd YearOne half-course equivalent from the firstyear engineering program

Two and one-half full-course equivalentsfrom the second year engineering program

Two full-course equivalents from Humanities/Social Sciences Major

One full-course equivalent from the Engi-neering Complementary Studies requirement

3rd YearThree full-course equivalents from secondyear engineering program

Two full-course equivalents from Humanities/Social Sciences Major

Communications Studies 361

4th YearRequired courses from third year engineer-ing specialization


5th YearRequired courses from fourth year engineer-ing specialization


Engineering 513

Other RequirementsStudents planning a Humanities Major inFrench or German should present AlbertaGrade XII standing in the subject area.Programs of students in the combineddegrees will be approved by the associatedeans of both faculties. Upon successfulcompletion of the program requirementsstudents will receive two degree parchments.

Note: Students seeking a BA in InternationalRelations in the Faculty of Social Sciencesmust fulfill the requirement of two full-courseequivalents in a modern language other thanEnglish in addition to the requirements listedabove.

RegulationsIt is possible for students to opt out of acombined degree program after one yearand complete either the BSc (Engineering)or the Humanities or Social Sciences degreein the normal time.
