Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Software Engineering Specific Degree Requirements

The Computer Engineering Option is available to all students in the Faculty of Engineering (including Architecture), except students in Computer Engineering. It requires a total of eight courses:

• Two of:

• Five additional courses from the topics list below, one of which may be substituted with a course from the data structures and algorithms list.
• One course from List A Complementary Studies Requirements for Engineering Students that considers application of computing technology, or an alternative approved by the option co-ordinator.

The courses chosen to satisfy this Option must satisfy four additional constraints:

• They must satisfy Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements.
• They must be approved by the option co-ordinator.
• Five of the courses must be considered elective (that is, not core requirements) in the student's academic plan. For the purposes of this Option, a course that a student could choose to graduate without will be considered elective.
• The student must have earned a minimum average of 75% in the selected courses in order to have earned the Option.

Students pursuing this Option are recommended to select courses in the areas of logic, digital hardware, operating systems, computing systems, databases, networks, and security and privacy.

Students may not declare this Option until they have completed both an introductory programming course and a data structures and algorithms course. Students must have a minimum average of 75% in these two courses in order to declare this Option.

The lists below are intended to be the same as for the Computing Option and the Software Engineering Option. These lists are also intended to include courses that are normally part of the Computing Minor offered by the Cheriton School of Computer Science. Other courses from Computer Science may be used towards this Option with permission of the option co-ordinator. Students may declare at most one of the Computing Option, Computer Engineering Option, or Software Engineering Option. Students may change which of the three Options they declare by contacting the option co-ordinator(s).
