Programs of study

This list of courses is in effect for both students admitted directly to Engineering and students applying to Engineering from University 1 or other faculties. 

PHIL 1290 (Critical Thinking) is the recommended complementary studies elective. However, students may select any course from the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Management at the 1000 level or above, with the exception of ARTS 1110 Introduction to University which may not be held for credit within the Price Faculty of Engineering.

1. The Department of Chemistry will be making major changes to the courses they offer, beginning in Fall 2021. Some of these courses are either core requirements or electives in programs offered by the Price Faculty of Engineering. Students should be aware of how these changes will affect the progress of their Engineering programs. Full details on these changes can be found on the Changes to Chemistry Courses (PDF) memo to students.
2. You should register for MATH 1510 (or MATH 1500) BEFORE registering for PHYS 1050. You will receive a “Prerequisite” error message if you register for PHYS 1050 first.
3. CHEM 1300: This course requires a combination of both remote learning and on campus labs. Students must be available to attend on campus labs during their registered lab day/time. 
4. All of the Engineering programs have enrolment quotas and, therefore, admission is competitive and not guaranteed. Ranking in the program competitions is based on a candidate’s average over the best eight final grades that have been achieved from within the list of twelve courses in the preliminary year in Engineering. Preference within each program will be given to Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents. However, all programs will aim to admit a minimum of 10% international students. AGPA is calculated by using the grades of the best 8 of your 12 first-year Engineering courses required for the Preliminary Engineering Program.
   
   2020-2021 Admission Statistics

   Program	Capacity	Domestic AGPA	International AGPA
   Biosystems	48	2.813	2.563
   Civil	76	2.313	3.5
   Computer	120*	2.688	3.563
   Electrical	120*	2.375	3.563
   Mechanical	120	2.688	3.75

   *Combined capacity

The following eight courses are recommended to ensure that you have the appropriate prerequisites for the Departmental program courses:

Biosystems

Civil

Computer

Electrical

Mechanical*

*Completing these 9 courses is strongly recommended by the Mechanical Department in order to complete the program according to the 5 year model.

All students are required to complete, within the first 60 credit hours of their program, a minimum of one, 3 credit hour course with significant content in written English. The courses listed here are accepted for credit to fulfill this requirement.

POLS 2000 level courses no longer qualify for the W requirement for Engineering. Students who completed a POLS 2XXX level course by Winter 2020 will receive the “W” requirement. The courses were removed and no longer hold the W designation as of Fall 2020.

  * Unallocated credits may not be used.
** This course requires a laboratory.

Students who achieve a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of 3.50 or better with a minimum of 12 credit hours completed during the current academic term will be included on the Dean's Honour List (DHL). In exceptional circumstances, the Faculty Council of Engineering may recommend that a student be included on the Dean's Honour List, even though the student has not satisfied all of the above conditions.
