LASSONDE – Space Engineering

The Lassonde School of Engineering offers a Specialized Honours bachelor of engineering (BEng) degree in space engineering through the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering. 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.)

Entrepreneurship: SB/ENTR 3400 3.00; SB/ENTR 3600 3.00; SB/ENTR 4500 3.00; and 3 credits from Humanities/Social Sciences
Law: Up to 9 credits of Osgoode ‘Perspectives’ courses; and 3 credits from Humanities/Social Sciences
Global Engineer: One of:

Languages (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish): 12 credits of languages and culture courses with the same rubric, with a minimum of 6 credits of languages skills and a minimum of a 3 credit culture course*. (The culture course counts as a CEAB Humanities requirement.)
French Studies: 12-credit certificate in French or French for Business, and 3 credits from Humanities/Social Sciences. (Note; these pure language courses do not count for social science or humanities under the CEAB regulation B, therefore this option requires students to complete 15 credits instead of 12 credits.
