Engineering Physics and Society, Engineering Physics and Society Co-op (B.Eng.Society)

Admission to Level II Engineering Programs

Admission to Level II Engineering programs requires completion of all 31 units of required Engineering I courses. Students must maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 4.0. All programs have limited enrolment; should there be more applicants than the limiting number in any program, admission to that program will be based on the student’s Cumulative Grade Point Average.

Admission to a B.Eng. Management program is competitive and will be based on cumulative Grade Point Average . Students are required to complete ECON 1B03 - Introductory Microeconomics  with a minimum grade of 5.0.  

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

Unless otherwise stated with effective dating, the calendar text for this program applies only to students entering level 2 in the 2026-27 academic year. Students entering earlier should instead refer to the calendar from the year they entered level 2 of the program.

1. Approved Technical Electives for a total of at least 27 units:

• Students must take at least 13 units of Approved technical electives from ENGPHYS or NUCENG courses. 
• Remaining units: Students may take any approved Engineering or Science technical elective (including ENGPHYS or NUCENG) 

2. Students interested in some specializations (e.g., Nuclear Engineering) may need to take important elective courses early (e.g., NUCENG 3D04  in Level IV) - in these cases, they should delay taking ENGPHYS 3E04  until Level V.
3. Approved Technical Electives are available in a list on the Engineering Physics website. Subject to Chair approval, students may replace Engineering Physics technical electives with approved Science or Engineering courses. Also subject to Chair approval, courses not appearing on the technical elective list may qualify as acceptable technical electives. Students are free to choose their technical electives according to their own interests, but may consider subsets of the following course recommendations for a program of study. Further detail on program specializations and course recommendations is available on the Engineering Physics website. Students are responsible for ensuring that they fulfill the prerequisites for each course. Note that courses in departments other than Engineering Physics may be subject to enrollment limitations.

• Biomedical Engineering: ENGPHYS 4B03 , 4I03 , 4S04 , 4Z04 , ELECENG 4BD4, MECHENG 4N03  
• Quantum Computing and Metrology: ENGPHYS 4QC3 , 4QM3 , and optionally any of MATH 2R03 , 3C03 , 3D03 , 3QC3 , PHYSICS 3MM3 , 3QI3 , 4F03 , DATASCI 2G03 , 3ML3 , COMPENG 2SH4 , 2SI3 .
• Space Systems Engineering: ENGPHYS 3O04 , 3SP3 , 4X03 , NUCENG 3D04 , 4RP4 , MECHENG 4AA3 , 4Q03 , ELECENG 3TR4 , and optionally MATH 3C03 , PHYSICS 3A03 , 3C03 , 3QI3 , ASTRON 2E03 , 3X03 , 3Y03 , ELECENG 4TK4 , ENGPHYS 4QC3 , 4QM3 , MATLS 3M03 , MECHENG 4J03  
• Interdisciplinary Engineering Physics: ENGPHYS 3ES3 , 3O04 , 3PD4 , 4B03 , 4I03 , 4QC3 , 4X03 , NUCENG 3D04 , 4PP3  

4. Students in a Co-op program must complete ENGINEER 1EE0  in addition to the academic requirements specified in this calendar. ENGINEER 2EC0  will be added to the academic record for each 4 month work term.
5. A minimum of 18 units of Engineering and Society focus elective courses is required for the program. (This does not include the six units of complementary studies elective in Level I.) In some instances, the same course could be eligible for Engineering and Society focus electives or technical elective requirements covered under Note 1, but units cannot be double counted (i.e., used towards both requirements simultaneously) - Students must complete a total of at least 18 (units of focus electives) + 27 (units of technical electives) = 45 units of electives to complete the requirements for levels 2 through 5 of Engineering Physics and Society.
