4.7 ENGINEERING
The engineering curriculum leading to the B.A.Sc. degree has been designed
to offer students an education that is immediately valuable to them on
graduation and which, at the same time, provides a foundation to accommodate
their further education in industry or research.
The first year is common in order to give the student an introduction
to general engineering principles and to allow investigation of a special
field of interest for subsequent years of study.
While engineers must work within the technologies of the times, they
are also responsible for the continual development of these technologies.
The flexibility demanded of the engineer must be based upon proficiency
in the physical sciences, and a confident ability to apply the sciences
to the benefit of humankind. Therefore, our engineering programs are founded
upon a substantial content of mathematics, physics, and chemistry; and
our engineering subjects are taught with a view to familiarizing the students
with contemporary practice, and teaching them those methods of analysis,
design, and realization which they will be able to apply to a continually
developing discipline.
The aim of the engineer is to apply the latest science and technology
for the betterment of society; engineers must, therefore, realize their
duties to society and, as a prerequisite, appreciate how civilizations
have developed to their present states.
The independent responsibility that we wish to see in practising engineers
is impressed upon our students by emphasis on laboratory work, tutorials,
projects, and assignments. Further, the student is assisted in individual
studies by counselling and professional development seminars.
These activities encourage a close and profitable student-professor
relationship and facilitate the interchange of engineering information
and experience to develop the professional maturity and integrity of the
student.
4.7.1 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Students are directed to become familiar and to comply with the general
regulations of the University as described in 2.5 which apply to all students.
Additionally, programs within the Faculty of Engineering have particular
regulations. Students enrolled in Engineering programs also must comply
with these particular requirements.
Students also are directed to read the "Statement of Responsibility"
on the inside front cover.
COURSE CHANGES
All course changes subsequent to registration require the written approval
of the Associate Dean of the Faculty.
COURSES NOT PART OF THE ENGINEERING PROGRAM
A student may register for courses additional to those in the Engineering
program only with the permission of the Chair for the program area in which
the student is enrolled and the Associate Dean.
CALCULATION OF AVERAGES
1) A student's academic evaluation is based on a cumulative average
of grades weighted as follows: The weight of a one-term course is equal
to the number of lecture hours per week, plus one-half the number of tutorial
or laboratory hours per week.
2) All courses taken as part of the Engineering Program, including failed
and repeated courses, and supplemental evaluations will be included in
the calculation of the cumulative average.
SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVILEGES
The Academic Standing Committee may grant a supplemental evaluation
privilege for a failed course provided that the student:
(a) has failed only one course in the evaluation period; and
(b) has a grade in the failed course of F; and
(c) has a cumulative average of 5.0 or better.
If a supplemental evaluation privilege is granted and the student decides
to exercise this privilege, the student must register for the supplemental
and pay the appropriate fee. Once a student has registered for a supplemental
evaluation and the required evaluation method has been prescribed, the
evaluation will occur at the time and place prescribed by the Faculty of
Engineering. Failure to write after registering for the supplemental evaluation
will result in a grade of F being assigned. Both the resulting grade and
the original grade will be shown on the student's transcript and will be
included in the determination of the student's cumulative average.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
In addition to complying with the general university regulations (see
2.5.20) an Engineering student must complete the program within six years
of study from the date of first registration in an Engineering program;
HONOURS STANDING
1) Second-Class Honours: A student will graduate with second-class
honours if all the requirements previously described have been fulfilled
and the program has been completed within the period of four years while
maintaining a cumulative average of 8.0 to 10.9 in the third and fourth
years.
2) First-Class Honours: A student will graduate with first-class
honours if all the requirements previously described have been fulfilled,
and the program has been completed within a period of four years while
maintaining a cumulative average of 11.0 to 13.0 in the third and fourth
years.
3) Honours with Distinction: A student will graduate with honours
with distinction if all the requirements previously described have been
fulfilled, and the program has been completed within a period of four years
while maintaining a cumulative average of 12.0 or higher in the third and
fourth years, providing that no courses were failed in any of the four
years.
4) Dean's List: Any full-time Engineering student who attains
a term average of 10.5 or greater will be entitled to the honour of being
placed on the Dean's list.
4.7.2 CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Co-operative Education Program is available in Civil and Environmental
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial and Manufacturing Systems
Engineering, and Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Engineering.
The Faculty of Engineering Co-operative Education Program offers students
the opportunity to combine their classroom experiences with career-related
work experiences. The Co-operative Education Program is based upon the
principle that the preparation of undergraduate Engineering students can
be enhanced by blending career related work experience with a quality curriculum.
Admission to the Co-operative Education Program is competitive. Students
who apply and are accepted into the Program will participate in three or
four paid work experiences interspersed throughout the four-year honours
program. The experience gained while participating in these structured
and supervised work placements is viewed as an integral component of the
student's education program.
4.7.2.1 APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Students seeking admission to the Co-operative Program must have been
admitted initially to the the Engineering program. During the Fall term
of their first year, students will be eligible to apply for the Co-operative
Program. Positions in the Co-operative Program are limited and it may not
be possible to accommodate all students who apply.
The Engineering Co-operative program is a select program; thus, the
following criteria have been established to evaluate applications:
(a) academic achievement (high and Fall term marks);
(b) previous volunteer and paid work experience;
(c) a letter outlining the student's motivation for applying;
(d) two letters of recommendation; and
(e) an interview.
Decisions regarding participation in the Co-operative Program will
be finalized by the Co-op Education and Career Services Office in the Winter
term of the student's first year of study. Actual registration in the Program
and fee assessment will not occur until students obtain their first work
placement in the Summer after their first year.
Students may also have the opportunity to re-apply for admission to
the Co-op Program in the Fall of their second year.
4.7.2.2 PLACEMENT
The placement process is competitive. Co-op students will apply for
work placement positions advertised by the Co-operative Education and Career
Services Office. Letters of application, résumés, and academic
transcripts will be forwarded to the employers, who will select the students
they wish to interview.
After interviews take place, both the student and the employer will
be involved in the ranking and matching process.
The Faculty of Engineering does not guarantee placement, but every reasonable
effort will be made to ensure that appropriate employment is made available.

4.7.4.5 PROGRAM OF STUDY—ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING
The program in Environmental Engineering is built upon a broad base
of science and mathematics combined with an emphasis on engineering principles
and design. Environmental engineers have qualifications which will permit
them to focus upon the transport, transformation and removal of contaminants
in air, water, and soil, as well as the broader aspects of environmental
planning and impact assessment.
The rapid growth of industrial activities has produced many new problems
related to environmental protection, resource conservation, and safety.
The public has been aware of the risks involved in
handling a wide range of hazardous and toxic materials by major incidents
which have occurred in spite of improved design methods and operating techniques
to overcome potential problems.
Consequently, legislation is being formulated and enacted to control
the release of toxic chemicals and pollutants into our environment. Environmental
engineers are trained not only to solve problems
of immediate concern, but also to develop practices and processes to
systematically avoid their occurrence.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Environmental Engineering
is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian
Council of Professional Engineers.

4.7.5.1 PROGRAM OF STUDY—ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING
Electrical engineering encompasses a large number of exciting and diverse
areas of study. Areas such as: micro electronics, computer systems, and
networks; energy generation, distribution, and
utilization; communications; and computer-aided design and manufacturing
are only a few of the directions that Electrical Engineering students can
choose after graduation.
The program of study encompasses courses outside Electrical Engineering
and provides a professional education sufficiently fundamental in nature
so as to allow the student to choose his or
her specific area of professional specialization after graduation.
This philosophy of education recognizes that the professional responsibilities
of graduate engineers evolve throughout their careers. Graduates of this
program are able to engage, from the outset of their career, in decision
making with a much broader and professionally mature perspective than
is possible when premature specialization at the undergraduate level is
permitted. The program of study also provides excellent
preparation for those students who may wish to continue their formal
education with graduate study and research.
The program of study includes a number of seminars featuring professionals
from outside the University community. Students are encouraged to participate
in these seminars and in other
professional development activities as determined by the Program. The
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers has an active student
chapter on campus.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Electrical Engineering
is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian
Council of Professional Engineers.

4.7.6.1 PROGRAM OF STUDY—INDUSTRIAL
ENGINEERING
Industrial engineering is concerned with analysis, design, improvement,
and operation of integrated systems of people, machines, and materials.
Industrial engineers are employed in all fields of
manufacturing, business organizations such as banks, railroads, airlines,
insurance companies, and hospitals, to improve the cost and services of
all functions. The increasing complexity of industrial operations and the
expansion of automated processes, coupled with the continued growth of
the nation's industries and international competition, are factors contributing
to the demand for industrial engineers.
Industrial engineering draws from specialized knowledge and skill in
the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles
and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and
evaluate the results to be obtained from systems involving people, machines,
materials, and energy. The industrial engineer should combine the basic
aptitudes of an engineer with an understanding of the reactions of people
in operating systems. About one-half of the program of study consists of
basic sciences and engineering courses, accompanied by studies in the humanities.
The rest of the work is in the areas of conventional industrial and manufacturing
systems
engineering (i.e., plant flow analysis, work management and analysis,
etc.), statistical data analysis, engineering economy, systems engineering,
and operations research.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Industrial Engineering
is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian
Council of Professional Engineers.

4.7.7.1 PROGRAM OF STUDY—MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Students may take a regular program in Mechanical Engineering, or they
may specialize in the Engineering Materials Option described below.
Mechanical engineers are responsible for the design, construction, maintenance,
and operation of machines and systems of machines. They create, plan, research,
supervise, analyze, and generally
act as the professionals of mechanical technology.
The mechanical engineer's knowledge and skills are needed in many industries,
such as: heating, ventilating, and air conditioning; transportation; power
generation and distribution; metal
production and processing; pulp and paper manufacturing; and chemical
and electrical equipment.
Mechanical engineers commonly go beyond the limits of purely mechanical
work. They are found at all levels of management in private industry and
the public sector.
Students in the regular program may specialize by selecting four elective
courses. These courses may be selected from those offered in the areas
of: air conditioning; dynamics and stress analysis; vibrations and noise;
and gas dynamics and turbomachinery.
Students interested in the Engineering Materials Option are able to
begin their specialized studies in the Summer term of their third year.
The Option includes a series of four required and two elective courses.
Engineering Materials courses include modern developments in such areas
as lightweight composites, high temperature materials, surface treatments,
materials with special electrical, optical, and/or magnetic properties,
and novel processing techniques.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Mechanical Engineering
is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian
Council of Professional Engineers.
