Industrial Requirement (IR):

Requirement can be satisfied by attending and passing following: 8 credits internship during summer and 6 credits of creative/industry focused projects during Industrial and Creative Activity Term   (ICAT)/ summer. In addition, students will be required to complete 6 credits of Industrial Learning Experience (ILE) as discussed in departmental major requirements below.

Departmental Major Requirements (DMR)

This is composed of five components:

a. General Departmental Requirements (GDR):

These are foundation and breadth courses that give students a broad understanding of the field of study.

1. Restricted Electives in Engineering and Science (RESE):
   Requirement can be satisfied by passing:
   MATH3301 Linear Algebra and ODEs
   CEN4201 System and Controls and its Associated Lab
   
2. Computer Engineering Foundation and Breadth Subjects:

b. Concentration Stream Requirements (CSR):

These courses allow students to pick a certain area of study and take a number of courses to increase their depth in an area of interest within their major.

c. Restricted Engineering Electives (REE):

These elective courses give students added breadth, while giving them control over how to spread their knowledge over the chosen major. 

d. Senior Year Design Project i.e. Capstone Project (FYP):

This capstone project is the culmination of the engineering understanding that the student has built up over the last three years, as well as during parallel coursework during the fourth year. This project enables the student to translate this knowledge into a practical outcome.

e. Industrial Learning Experience (ILE):

This program is designed to show students how their knowledge is applied in real industry, to reflect on this aspect of their learning, and to then give seminars to demonstrate their understanding.
