LASSONDE – Electrical Engineering

Print

The Lassonde School of Engineering offers a Specialized Honours bachelor of engineering (BEng) degree in electrical engineering through the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. After completion of a common first-year of study, students will choose one of the available program areas in engineering or the dual degree program in engineering and international development studies.

A. Complementary Studies Requirement (General Education):

A total of 12 credits of complementary studies courses must be taken, as identified below. At least 3 of the 12 credits must be taken in the humanities or social sciences, defined by the following areas: Anthropology, Humanities, English, History, Linguistics and Languages, Philosophy, Social Science, Modes of Reasoning and Women’s Studies. (Asterisked courses below are also considered to meet this requirement.)

B. Major Requirements

All Specialized Honours BEng degree candidates must complete the engineering program core (60 credits):

All Specialized Honours BEng degree candidates, in accordance with their declared program, must satisfy the academic standing and course requirements below.

To graduate in the Specialized Honours BEng program requires successful completion of all Faculty requirements and program required courses and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.00 (C+) over all courses completed.

Electrical Engineering

Options: At least 28 additional credits from the following five lists, subject to the conditions below:

Conditions

  • Students selecting an option must complete at least 15 credits from a single option list (any list other than the “General list”), including all courses on that list with an asterisk (*); and at least seven credits in total from at least two other lists (24 credits in total).
  • Students not selecting an option must complete credits from at least three lists, with no more than 12 credits selected from any single list; and at least two courses marked with an asterisk (*).
  • If a student completes an option, a notation will be made on the student’s transcript, indicating the option completed. No notation will be made for students not completing an option.
  • Courses appearing on multiple lists may not be used to satisfy credit requirements simultaneously from more than one list.

A Co-op or Internship option is highly recommended for all engineering students, but is not a degree requirement.

Engineering and International Development Studies Dual Degree

Students in the engineering and international development studies program choose one of the engineering program streams, plus the international development studies requirements. Graduates are awarded both BEng and BA degrees.

All engineering and international development studies dual degree candidates must complete:

  • complementary studies and the engineering program core requirements (see above);
  • the declared program requirements (see above);
  • the international development studies requirements as follows:
    • the international development studies core: AP/SOSC 1430 9.00; AP/SOSC 2800 6.00; AP/SOSC 3800 6.00;
    • 12 credits, including: at least six credits in each of two areas of concentration (see below); at least six credits at the 3000 or 4000 level, and at least three credits must be in humanities.

Note: for purposes of meeting international development studies program requirements, all nine-credit humanities or social science non-science courses will count as six credits towards the major.

To graduate in the BEng (Honours) and international development studies programs requires successful completion of all Faculty requirements, program and stream required courses and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.00 (C+) over all courses completed.

International Development Studies Areas of Concentration

Not all of the courses listed below will necessarily be offered in any given year. With the approval of the program coordinator, and subject to course exclusion and residence requirements, students may complete other courses in international development studies.
