Academic Plans and Requirements

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics with Engineering Electives (co-op only)

Enrolment in this plan is limited; a cumulative average of 70% or higher is strongly recommended. Students must choose one of two specializations in this option.

In order to introduce a non-technical component into the plan, it is required that 2.5 units be chosen from outside the Mathematics, Science, and Engineering faculties.

a) Fluids and Heat
In conjunction with the common degree requirements Table I in "Degree Requirements," this plan has the same course requirements as Applied Mathematics, with the following constraints on the mathematics courses:

All of

AMATH 342/CM 352 Computational Methods for Differential Equations
AMATH 361 Continuum Mechanics
AMATH 463 Fluid Mechanics

One of

CO 250/CM 340 Introduction to Optimization
CO 355 Mathematical Optimization
CO 367/CM 442 Nonlinear Optimization
STAT 331 Applied Linear Models
STAT 340 Computer Simulation of Complex Systems

The following courses are required in the non-math component of the plan:

All of

GENE 123 Electrical Engineering or ME 123 Electrical Engineering for Mechanical Engineers
ME 219 Mechanics of Deformable Solids 1
ME 250 Thermodynamics 1
ME 353 Heat Transfer 1
ME 354 Thermodynamics 2
