Internal Transfer from Another Simon Fraser University Program
91ÅÝܽ students who wish to transfer to engineering science require a 2.5 CGPA from the Faculty of Science, School of Computing Science, Science One, TechOne programs on a full course load (minimum 12 units). Students transferring from any other 91ÅÝܽ faculty, school, or program must have a CGPA of 2.7 on a full course load (minimum 12 units).
Transfer Credit and Residency Requirements
Transfer students are advised that residency requirements apply to all programs offered by the School of Engineering Science. See “Residency Requirements” on page 76.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7
• for students in the computer engineering, electronics engineering, systems engineering, and engineering physics options, the total number of Breadth-Social Sciences (B-Soc) and Breadth-Humanities (B-Hum) courses is reduced to three courses, with at least one course in each category
• for students in the biomedical engineering option, one course in each of the Breadth-Social Sciences (B-Soc) and Breadth-Humanities (B-Hum) categories may be waived
• the B-Sci requirements are waived for engineering science students who complete PHYS 125 and 126 instead of PHYS 120 and 121
In addition, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requires that one complementary studies elective in the ENSC curriculum must be in the Central Issue, Methodology, and Thought Process category.
Minimum Grade Requirement
A C- grade or better in prerequisite courses is required to register in engineering science courses.
Engineering Science Major Program
Engineering science students develop skills in systems design with a high level of scientific knowledge. This demanding program is aimed at the superior student. The program produces well educated, innovative engineer/scientists with entrepreneurial skills and attitudes who are oriented to new technologies. Program entry is competitive.
Students must achieve both a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and an upper division grade point average (UDGPA) of at least 3.00 to graduate from the honors program. The honors program requires an undergraduate thesis.
The general degree program requires a CGPA and UDGPA each of at least 2.0 in accordance with University graduation requirements.
Students undertake a basic core of pure, applied and engineering sciences followed by studies in a specialized option. The general BASc program may be completed in four years, which includes eight terms. A BASc (honors) typically requires an additional two terms for thesis completion.
There are five major areas of concentration where the faculty members’ research strengths are interrelated with the undergraduate curriculum. Students should select one of the following options: electronics engineering option, computer engineering option, engineering physics option, systems option and biomedical engineering option.
ENSC courses emphasize learning, conceptualization, design and analysis. Built into the program are courses on social impacts of technology, finance, management, design methods and entrepreneurship intended to complement scientific studies. A special, integrated communications course completed throughout the program ensures that all graduates have the communication skills necessary to be effective engineers.
Co-operative Education Work Experience
Every student completes a co-op education program of at least three work terms. After the first year, students typically alternate between academic and work terms. The goal is a complementary combination of work in an industrial or research setting and study in one of the engineering options.
At least two of the three mandatory work terms must be completed in industry (ENSC 195, 295, 395). Students may participate in additional work terms but are encouraged to seek diversity in their experience. The three mandatory work terms may include one special co-op term (ENSC 196, 296, 396). Special co-op may include, but is not restricted to, self-directed, entrepreneurial, service or research co-op work terms. Permission of the engineering science co-op office is required.
An optional non-technical work term (ENSC 194) is also available through the engineering science co-op education office and is often completed after the first two study terms. ENSC 194 does not count toward the mandatory three course requirement.
The engineering science co-op program will also seek opportunities for students wishing to complete their thesis requirements in an industrial setting.
BASc Requirements
Requirements of one of the five options must be completed. Each provides basic science, general studies, engineering science, specialized engineering and science, plus project and laboratory work.
For an honors in any option, a capstone project (ENSC 440) and an undergraduate thesis (ENSC 498 and 499) must be completed.
For a general degree with any option other than engineering physics and biomedical engineering, a capstone project (ENSC 440) must be completed. The engineering physics and biomedical engineering options are honors programs only.
Graduation with BASc (honors) requires both a CGPA and an upper division grade point average (UDGPA) of at least 3.0.
Students complete a three term co-op education program of practical experience in an appropriate industrial or research setting leading to a project under the technical direction of a practising engineer or scientist. The internship may be within the University but in most cases the work site is off campus. A member of the external organization and a school faculty member jointly supervise the project.
Specialized study is completed in one of five options: electronics engineering, computer engineering, engineering physics, systems and biomedical engineering (see below).
Although there is no strict requirement to follow these course sequences, but completing less may lead to scheduling and prerequisite problems in subsequent terms. Failure to complete courses identified with an asterisk in the designated term will almost certainly lead to such problems. Any term with fewer than 15 units requires prior approval by the director.
This program’s general studies section consists of non-technical courses which broaden education and develop awareness of social, economic and managerial factors affecting engineering and scientific work. All units of the engineering communication course must be completed. In complementary studies, at least one course must deal with science and technology within society and one with central issues, methodologies and thought processes of humanities and social sciences. Other complementary studies courses may contain these subjects or may be chosen from business, arts, humanities and social sciences. Permission may be required from the appropriate department, school or faculty to enrol in some courses. A pre-approved complementary studies course list is available from the school. Other courses may be acceptable with undergraduate curriculum committee chair approval.
