Curriculum Changes in EngSci

Two major changes to the EngSci curriculum, as approved by the Nov. 26 Faculty Council, include merging two Options and rearranging the first and second year for all EngSci students.

As of 2009, the Electrical Engineering Option will merge with the Computer Engineering Option to create the “Electrical and Computer Engineering Option.” This will include four new courses, two core and two elective. In third year of fall semester, all students will take Introduction to Energy Systems (ECE349) and in the spring semester of third year, all students in this Option will take a course in Systems Software (ECE353). Two new technical electives will also be introduced: Foundations of Computing (ECE358HIS) and Digital Signal Processing (ECE362HIS).

The changes in the first and second year of EngSci are intended to reduce workload, re-integrate labs with relevant courses, eliminate quarter courses and address gaps in computation in the curriculum while maintaining many of the features that were just introduced in 2005.

Here’s the approved curriculum for the first and second year for EngSci students, as of 2009:
