Minors and Certificates
Students wishing to pursue an Engineering minor must take a minimum of six courses two of which must be at the third or fourth year level; two core elective courses, one of which is defined. Two of the courses require a core elective as a prerequisite.
Completion of an Engineering Minor is subject to the following constraints:
- Students must ensure they meet the requirements of the ECE program;
- Of the 6 (half year) courses required for the minor, one (half year) course can also be a core course in ECE;
- Either a Thesis or Design course can count for up to two (half year) courses towards the 6 required courses IF the Thesis or Design course is strongly related to the subject area of the minor.
- Availability of the courses to complete an engineering minor (including the foundational courses) for timetabline purposes is not guaranteed; the onus is on the student to ensure compatibility with their timetable;
- Students must secure approval from the ECE Undergraduate Office before selecting any elective outside of the department.
Below are the minors that ECE students can complete: |
|
| Engineering Business | Sustainable Energy |
| Robotics and Mechatronics | Bioengineering |
| Environmental Engineering | |
Below are the certificates that ECE students can complete: |
|
| Preventative Engineering & Social Development | Global Engineering |
| Engineering Business | Entrepreneurship |
Students are required to complete three courses when pursuing a certificate. They will receive a certificate upon the completion of the required courses, but this it will not appear on student transcripts.
