SCIENCE/MATH ELECTIVES

ECE Program RequirementsThere are nine requirements:

1. BREADTH REQUIREMENT: A minimum of 4 kernel courses, each in a different area, must be chosen.2. DEPTH REQUIREMENT: Select at least 2 areas from which one kernel course has been chosen. In each of these 2 areas, 2 additional technica

courses must be chosen. Kernel courses may also be chosen to meet this requirement.3. ENGINEERING ECONOMICS REQUIREMENTS: ECE472H1 F/S must be chosen.4. CAPSTONE REQUIREMENT: The Design Project, ECE496Y1 Y, must be taken in Fourth Year.5. MATH/SCIENCE REQUIREMENT: At least one course from the Math/Science area must be chosen.6. TECHNICAL ELECTIVE REQUIREMENT: A minimum of 3 additional ECE technical courses must be chosen from any of the six areas of study.

One other technical elective may, with approval from the ECE Department, be taken in place of an ECE technical course. Only 300 and 400 level

courses can be used as a technical elective.7. FREE ELECTIVE REQUIREMENT: One is required, and may be a technical or a non-technical course.8. COMPLEMENTARY STUDIES REQUIREMENT: In each of terms 3F, 3S, 4F, and 4S, a complementary studies course must be taken. Of the 4

complementary studies courses, 2 must be humanities and social science (HSS) courses chosen from an approved list on the Registrar's website:

http://www.undergrad.engineering.utoronto.ca/information/calendar/electives.htm9. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT: Students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical experience

before graduation (normally during their summer vacation periods). Students registered within this program, may elect to enrol and participate in the

Professional Experience Year (PEY) program. The PEY program requires that qualified students undertake a paid, full-time 12-16 month continuous

work period with a participating company.In addition to the above program requirements, all CEAB requirements, including the minimum number of accreditation units (AU's) in the various CEAB

categories, must be met in order to graduate.A sample course selection arrangement for 3rd and 4th Year is shown in the table below.

Degree DesignationIf, among the 8 courses required to satisfy the Breadth requirement (1) and the Depth requirement (2), at least 4 are selected from areas 5 and 6, then

the student is eligible for the B.A.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering. If, among these 8 courses, at least 5 are selected from areas 1-4, then the

student is eligible for the B.A.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering. By appropriate choice of kernel courses as technical or free electives, it may be

possible to satisfy these requirements simultaneously; in this case, the student must choose one of the two designations.

CEAB RequirementsTo satisfy CEAB requirements, students must accumulate, during 4 years of study, a minimum number of academic units in six categories:

complementary studies, mathematics, basic science, engineering science, engineering design, combined engineering science and design. For details

on how to verify satisfaction of CEAB requirements, students are referred to the ECE Undergraduate website:

http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/Current_Undergraduate_Studies/program/magellan.htm. Third year students must choose their third year courses

consistent with a 3rd and 4th year course plan satisfying ECE program requirements and CEAB requirements.It is recognized that the course selection process can be complex in the flexible curriculum for third and fourth year. Students are advised to consult the

ECE Undergraduate Office on questions related to course selection. In addition, tools will be provided to assist students to ensure satisfaction of al

requirements in their course selection. For complete details, students are referred to the ECE Department Undergraduate Studies office at

[email protected] student who selects a course of study that does not meet ECE and/or CEAB requirements will not be eligible to graduate.

Graduate Programs in Computer EngineeringGraduate study and research in Computer Engineering may be pursued in either the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering or the

Department of Computer Science. Both theoretical and applied topics are encouraged. Programs lead to the M.Eng. or M.A.Sc. degree in Engineering

or the M.Sc. in Computer Science, and to the Ph.D. in either Department. Prospective graduate studies should consult the Departments early to

determine the most appropriate Department in which to register.

Office: Room B600, Sandford Fleming BuildingElectrical engineering is an exciting and extensive field that applies the principles of science and mathematics with engineering fundamentals which are

then used to develop a students skills needed to analyze, design and build electrical, electronic and photonics systems. The program includes diverse

areas of study such as microelectronics, digital communications, wireless systems, photonics systems, signal processing, control, microprocessors

computer technology, energy systems and electronic device fabrication. This breadth is unique to Electrical Engineering and opens a wide range o

career possibilities. As a result, the program also ensures that through their course work, a student gains experience in communication, problem-solving

and team management skills.

An electrical engineer may be involved in the design, development and testing of electrical and electronic equipment such as telecommunication

systems, industrial process controls, signal processing, navigation systems, power generation, transmission systems, wireless and optica

communications and integrated circuit engineering.

The first two years of study provide the essential background in basic science and mathematics and also introduces the student to the important

concepts in Electrical and Computer Engineering such as circuits, digital systems, electronics, and communication systems. These two years of study

are identical to Computer Engineering.

In third and fourth year, the curriculum allows flexibility in a students course selection, subject to program and accreditation requirements described

below. A student has greater choice from a broad array of courses in six areas of study that would appeal to their individual strengths and interests. A

number of streams or course packages called Public/Built-In Profiles have been developed by the department's Curriculum Matters Committee (CMC)

members to serve as course selection examples. These can be used as inspiration for a student to help develop more concrete decisions on their own.

A student is also free to use one of the public profiles as their template, the example course packages can be found at:

http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/Current_Undergraduate_Studies/program/Curriculum_Streams.htm. An on-line program called Magellan is available to

facilitate the course selection process. All 2nd year students will have access to Magellan by the end of their fall term. If at any time a student has
