Space Science - Science and Engineering
The department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering offers a Specialized Honours degree Stream in Space Science. After completing a two-year foundational curriculum, space science students may choose one of two options: the first, which focuses upon the observation of the earth and atmosphere from space, is provided by the department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering, through the Earth and Atmospheric Science program; the second, which focuses upon space astronomy and space exploration, is provided by the department of Physics and Astronomy, through the Physics and Astronomy program. Students in the second option would transfer to Physics and Astronomy. Courses for the third and fourth years for each option are noted below.
i) All BSc Honours degree candidates must complete the space science foundational core at 1000 and 2000 levels:
ii) All BSc Honours degree candidates must comply with general regulation 4 (see the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar) by completing the following (in addition to the 1000-level courses specified in the program core):
-
12 general education credits (see General Education Requirements in the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar).
iii) All BSc Honours degree candidates, in accordance with their declared program, must comply with general regulation 6 (see the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar) and, in so doing, must also satisfy the course, credit and standing requirements specified below.
iv) All BSc Honours degree candidates are encouraged to complete a non-credit industrial internship (normally salaried). This provides experience in a four-month to twelve-month placement, normally after the third year of study.
Honours Programs
To graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of all Faculty requirements and departmental required courses, a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 (C+) over all courses completed.
