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. 

Notes
1. NEW CHEM 1100 + CHEM 1122 = CHEM 1300.
Students coming from U1 and Science or any other non-engineering faculty will be given credit for CHEM 1300 for the NEW CHEM 1120.
2. MATH 1300 is not an acceptable equivalent to MATH 1210
3. Students intending to obtain a degree in Engineering are strongly advised to complete MATH 1510 and MATH 1710. However, MATH 1500 or MATH 1230 may be taken in lieu of MATH 1510; MATH 1700 or MATH 1232 may be taken in lieu of MATH 1710. MATH 1690 fulfills the requirement of both MATH 1510 and MATH 1710.
4. PHIL 1290 Critical Thinking is the recommended complementary studies elective. Students may, however, select any course from the Faculties of Arts and Management (Asper School of Business) at the 1000 level or above, except for ARTS 1110 (Introduction to University).
5. Course selected from the list of approved Written English Courses.
6. Three credit hours are required to satisfy the Written English Course requirement. Should a student complete a six credit hour course, the additional three credit hours may be used to satisfy general complementary studies requirements within a student's program. 
7. Equivalent courses offered through Université de Saint-Boniface may be used to satisfy program requirements. 

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. 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 13 first-year Engineering courses required for the Preliminary Engineering Program.

Important registration information

1. 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.
2. PHIL 1290 is recommended but not required as a complementary studies elective.  Students may choose an alternate course from the Faculties of Arts or Management at the 1000 level or above, with the exception of ARTS 1110 Intro to University which may not be held for credit with the Price Faculty of Engineering.
3. For the Written English Course requirement, choose from the approved list for engineering students.
4. Register for both Fall and Winter terms at the same time. 

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.

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.

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.

All internationally educated engineers who have immigrated to Manitoba and who wish to practice as engineers must first apply for an Academic Assessment with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba. The results of this assessment may indicate a series of exams to complete. These exams may be equivalent to University of Manitoba courses. 

The Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba Program is for those who have completed an Academic Assessment through Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, and who wish to take courses in lieu of assigned Confirmatory Exams.

Individuals wishing to pursue this opportunity should first contact Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s International Assessment Coordinator to discuss requirements. 

IMPORTANT: Please contact Jennifer Mitchell prior to applying.
