Many of the 700-level courses offered by the Department are quarter course modules. These are identified by a pound (#) sign and are offered in 6 week slots. Half courses are identified by an asterisk (*) and last one term (approximately 12 weeks). The course structure is designed so that most courses are available on a two-year basis, subject to student demand and faculty resources. Some courses are offered every year. Students should select a program of study in consultation with their faculty supervisor and be aware of the prerequisite requirements of some courses.
The following courses, which are available to senior undergraduate students, are also offered for graduate credit at the M.Sc. and M.Eng. level only. Graduate students taking these courses are regularly required to do extra course work beyond that required of undergraduates in the 400-level course.
In addition to these courses, there are many courses offered by other departments, which may be considered. The selection of such courses should be done in consultation with the student’s supervisor and will be authorized by the Chair of the Department. Students should consider courses offered by the Departments of Engineering Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Mathematics and Statistics.
