Admission to Level II Engineering Programs

To be eligible for a Level II Engineering program, a student must successfully complete all non-elective Level I courses with an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of 4.0 or greater. To help students who may have had academic difficulty during the year, the Faculty of Engineering has a remedial studies plan (called the M-Opportunity) that provides the opportunity to repeat failed courses in second term and/or in the summer. The results of these M-Opportunity courses are used to calculate a new GPA (failed courses are still counted in the GPA). A student in Engineering I whose Grade Point Average (GPA) is less than 4.0 can no longer continue in Engineering.

In addition, admission to a B.Eng.Mgt. program requires the completion of ECON 1B03  with a minimum grade of 5.0; an interview may also be required.

Students admitted to a B.Eng.Society program are required to submit a statement indicating the educational objectives for the focus electives.

Students seeking admission to the Engineering and Management program, or the Engineering and Society program must first be admitted to the relevant department. Thereafter, they will be considered for admission to one of these two programs.

Notes

1. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering offers a common core with four streams of study in Levels III and IV. Students may complete the required units as listed in the calendar in Levels III and IV by choosing a course selection according to the following streams:
   • Nanomaterials MATLS 3Q03 , 4FF3 , 3 units from MATLS 4G03 , 4H03  
   • Structural Materials MECHENG 3C03 , MATLS 4C03 , 4D03 , 4T03  
   • Polymer CHEMENG 3Q03 , 4X03 , MATLS 4P03 , 4T03  
   • Electronic Materials ENGPHYS 3PN4 , 4MD3 , MATLS 3Q03 ,  4Q03  
2. Note that a course in a stream may not be taught when the enrollment is (expected to be) too low.
3. Students entering Level II should register in the Materials Science and Engineering program and follow the requirements outlined below. Students entering Levels III, IV or V should follow the program requirements as specified in the Undergraduate Calendar of the year of their entry into Level II. Such students are advised to refer to their degree audit for the program in which they are registered and to consult with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering for further information.
4. As well as completing the academic requirements as specified in this Calendar, students in a Co-op program must complete ENGINEER 1EE0 . ENGINEER 2EC0  will be added to the academic record for each 4 month work term.
