Dean's Message
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
Welcome all new and returning students to the 2011-2012 academic year! Our Engineering undergraduates are an integral part of our proud community of alumni, faculty, students and staff who all contribute to our leading national and international reputation. In the 2010 Times Higher Education World University Rankings for Engineering and IT, our Faculty confirmed its position as the premier Engineering school in Canada and among the very best in the world. We strive to keep our students heading for success. Here, you have access to our unique curriculum, taught by our internationally renowned scholars, as well as a broad range of co- and extra-curricular activities. Together, these underscore U of T Engineerings commitment to educating global engineers, equipped to deal with the worlds most pressing challenges. Unique to Canada, this year we are launching the Engineering Business Minor, which gives you the opportunity to explore and learn how modern engineering business functions. In addition, new certificates in Engineering Business and in Global Engineering are also offered as a part of a larger suite of Engineering undergraduate Minors and Certificates. Whether you are a new or returning student, I recommend you consult this Engineering Calendar as a valuable resource. It outlines the curriculum for each of our nine undergraduate programs, information on scholarships and financial aid, as well as the policies and procedures for moving from session to session. Last year we introduced a course for all first year students, Ethics in Engineering. As Engineers, we are often tasked with safeguarding the most paramount of public interests and welfare, whether designing a bridge, a microchip or new human tissue. In this respect, we pledge our commitment to producing graduates with a strong sense of academic and professional ethics. The University of Torontos Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters and the Code of Student Conduct, contained within this Calendar, should guide you as you progress on your academic journey. You have a lot to consider as you continue your studies with us. We are here to help and provide you with the knowledge and tools to enable you to reach your highest potential. The following staff are available to advise and guide you: FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS The Chair of First Year, Professor Susan McCahan, has overall responsibility for the first-year curriculum and related matters, including your welcome and orientation. Any first-year student needing help or advice should speak with Professor McCahan, the Faculty Registrar, or the First Year Counsellor, all situated in Room 170 of the Galbraith Building. UPPER-YEAR STUDENTS Upper-year students should contact their undergraduate program offices for help and advice related to their programs. The student services section of the Office of the Registrar in the Galbraith Building is also available for advice on a wide range of other issues. In addition to this Calendar, we share our news, send reminders of important dates and enhance our communications through our revitalized undergraduate website, in the monthly Student eNewsletter, in The Cannon Engineering student newspaper, and on your Engineering Societys website and atrium plasma screen that both highlight student-focussed events and notices. Each semester the Faculty and the Engineering Society co-host the Deans Student Town Hall pizza lunch where you can ask questions, learn more about your Faculty and provide input for our continued improvement. Your experiences both in and outside the classroom matter, and we are listening. You will also find opportunities to provide insight and feedback on your experience through Engineering, U of T, and national surveys. Please accept my very best wishes for a successful and rewarding year as you make your distinctive contribution to our Facultys proud legacy of engineering excellence.

PART-TIME STUDIES
The Federal Government has established a loan and grant program for part-time students enrolled in course loads of less than sixty percent. Unlike OSAP loans, the interest on part-time Canada Student Loans becomes repayable thirty days after the loan is received. Federal grants for educational expenses are also available for high-need part-time students. The Ontario Special Bursary Plan provides assistance to part-time students in receipt of social assistance. The bursary assists with direct educational expenses such as tuition, books, transportation and babysitting. Further information and application forms may be obtained from Admissions and Awards.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
International students entering Canada or currently in Canada on student authorization are not eligible for government assistance and must ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover all probable expenses. Such students cannot depend on gaining part-time employment in Canada to help their studies.

Academic Regulations
I. RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS
Students are responsible for making themselves familiar with the information in the Calendar particularly in this section and with instructions published or by email from the Registrar. Remember: A minimum first installment or deferral of fees must be paid before a student is considered registered. Please refer to the Fees and Expenses section of this calendar. Students are responsible for ensuring that their course enrolments are accurate and complete and that the courses in which they enroll meet the requirements for graduation. Course prerequisites and any restrictions on enrolment should be noted carefully prior to registration. Whenever the requirements are not understood, the departmental undergraduate counselor or the Chair of Undergraduate Studies should be consulted. Students proceeding to their degree are required to attend the courses of instruction and the examinations in all subjects prescribed. Students must conform to all lecture and tutorial room, as well as, laboratory regulations. Students shall comply with all due dates and manner of submission for all work submitted for credit in a course. Consequences for failure to comply shall be specified and announced by the instructor. All session work must be submitted no later than the last day of lectures in the session as published in this Calendar. If a student is unable to complete any portion of their course work due to medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances, they should inform the instructor by submitting a "Petition for Consideration in Course Work", with supporting documents where possible (e.g.. U of T Medical Certificate). Please refer to Section I - Petitions in this chapter. A student has the right to withdraw from a course or program without academic penalty before the ninth week of the session (see Sessional Dates listing at the beginning of the Calendar) with approval from their departmental counselor. A student who does not complete the course or write the final examination will receive final marks in the course consisting of the sum of their earned session marks with zero for the uncompleted work and examination. These marks will be included in the calculation of Session Averages. A student who in any session withdraws from the Faculty after the deadline to withdraw without academic penalty (as specified in the Calendar) is deemed to have failed the session. It is generally desirable for students to engage in extracurricular activities to a reasonable extent so that they do not become too narrowly academic in interest and outlook but no academic credit can be given for such activities. Extracurricular activities require considerable time for the proper performance of the duties connected with them. A student on probation, or with marginal academic records, should not undertake such activities. Students will not be given any special consideration for conflicts resulting from such activities and are responsible for meeting the requirements of all aspects of his or her academic work. Responsibilities of Students with Regard to the Use of Computer Facilities All computer equipment in the Faculty is to be used for academic purposes only. The use of any computer equipment to display or distribute material that could reasonably be expected to degrade, offend, or promote hatred or violence against any person or group is inconsistent with the purpose of the equipment, and is not permitted. Examples of unacceptable material include pornography, racial slurs, and pictures of men or women who are not fully dressed. These regulations are designed to promote an atmosphere in which all students can pursue their academic programs, as well as discourage wastage of computer resources. Violators are subject to having all their U of T computer accounts closed down, and/or other disciplinary action under the provisions of the University of Toronto Code of Student Conduct. Maintaining the integrity of the Faculty's computer facilities is everyone's responsibility. If you see an individual using computer equipment anywhere in this Faculty in a manner that you believe to be inconsistent with the regulations, please record the time, date, room number, workstation number (if in a facility with more than one terminal or computer) and the exact nature of the offence (description of what is being displayed). Send the information to the Director, Engineering Computing Facility, Engineering Annex Room 206 or send email to: [email protected]. The Director will then determine the identity of the user and the type of activity in which the user was engaged at the time it was recorded.
2. Sessional Averages
a) Fall Session Average The Fall Session Average is calculated on the basis of all Fall Session courses in which the student is enrolled. The weighting factor for each course is the number of weight units assigned to it. Full-year courses are not included in the calculation of the Fall Session Average. These courses are identified as IPR on the students record in the Fall Session. b) Winter Session Average The Winter Session Average is calculated on the basis of all Winter and full year courses in which the student is enrolled. The weighting factor for each course is the number of weight units assigned to it. The results of full-year courses are included in the Winter Session Average with a weight equal to the sum of the Fall and Winter Session weights.

Academic Regulations
3. Course Marks and Grades
The following course marks and grades relate to the performance of a student in the work of a particular course. A course grade or mark should not be interpreted as an assessment of status within a program of studies since this is determined by the Promotional Regulations set out in Section III, IV, and V. In particular, please refer to Section III, Part 8 regarding credit for courses. The equivalents of the Numerical Scale of Marks in the refined Letter Grade Scale and the Grade Point Value are as follows: * The grade point values above apply to marks earned in individual courses; grade point averages are weighted sums of the grade points earned (see below), and thus do not necessarily correspond exactly to the scale above. For example, a B+ average would include grade point averages from 3.20 to 3.40, while the lowest B- average would be 2.50. Numerical Scale of Mark 90-100 85-89 80-84 77-79 73-76 70-72 67-69 63-66 60-62 57-59 53-56 50-52 0-49 Letter Grade A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF Refined Grade Point Value 4.0 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.3 1.0 0.7 0.0
5. Non-Grade Symbols
The following non-grade symbols may appear on grade reports and transcripts instead of course marks and /or equivalent letter grades. They have no grade point or term sessional average values. AEG - Aegrotat standing granted on the basis of session work and medical or similar evidence. CR/NCR Credit/No Credit. Used to report results for academic requirements such as practical experience, English proficiency, field camps, etc. The grades CR and NCR have no numerical equivalence and are not included in the calculation of Sessional Averages. DNW - Did not write/did not attend/did little work (when used as final course result, DNW has a percentage mark value of 0). GWR - Grade withheld pending Review under the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. IPR - (Course) In Progress. LWD - Late Withdrawal NGA - No grade available. SDF - Standing deferred on the basis of incomplete course work because of medical or similar reasons (to be replaced by a regular mark before the expiry of a specified extension period). WDR - Granted privilege of late withdrawal from a course, caused by circumstances beyond the students control, without academic penalty.

Academic Regulations
The following non-grade statements may appear on grade reports and transcripts in conjunction with the course mark and letter grade: Assessed - Indicates that an assessed mark has been granted, through petition to the Committee on Examinations, on the basis of session work and medical or similar evidence. EXT - Extra course Not for degree credit; course has no effect on status or grade point average. With the approval of their Department or Divisional Chair, a student may elect to take an extra course. These courses cannot be used for degree credit. Their marks are shown on the transcript but not included in the calculation of Sessional Averages. To be eligible to take an extra course a student must carry a full-time academic load. The total load including the extra courses cannot exceed 3.0 credits. The deadline for changing any credit course to an extra course is the same as that for dropping a course. The deadline for changing an extra course to a credit course is the same as that for adding a course. Refer to section V. Academic Program Load. INC (incomplete) - Notwithstanding the mark obtained by a student in a course, the instructor may report the designation Incomplete in addition to the students final course mark, if: a) a student has not made a reasonable attempt to complete major session assignments, projects laboratories, tutorials or the thesis, and b) the instructor has made a reasonable effort to inform the student as early as possible in the session that an important part of the session work is incomplete. If the instructors report is confirmed by the Committee on Examinations, the student will be required to clear the incomplete status to receive credit for the course, although the original course mark will not be altered. An incomplete status may be cleared by obtaining an evaluation of 50% or greater on the required course work which must be completed within a time period specific by the professor but not later than the end of the next corresponding session. A student who does not clear an incomplete course designation in the manner prescribed above will not receive credit for the course and the result will be treated as an F grade, i.e. Regulation IV-8 pertaining to the repeating or replacing of courses with F grades will apply.

Academic Regulations
2. Final Session To be eligible to graduate, a student must attain a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater in their final session. Any student who does not achieve a weighted Session Average of 60% in their final session (4W), but has attained a weighted Session Average that allows them to proceed to the next session on probation, shall repeat the final session and achieve a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater to graduate. 3. English Proficiency Requirement The Faculty requires each student to show an ability to write English coherently and correctly in all written work submitted for evaluation. Consequently, the Faculty reserves the right to ask each student to write a post-admission English Proficiency Assessment at the beginning of his or her First year of studies. Every student will also take at least one course that includes a written communication component within their curriculum. Satisfactory completion of the course or courses is required for graduation. 4. Practical Experience Requirement It is a regulation of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering that all students complete a minimum of 600 hours of practical work before graduation. Full details of the practical experience requirement are outlined in Chapter 7.
79
Academic Regulations
the promotional standing of the student will not be improved by the results of the voluntarily repeated session if his or her weighted Session Average for the session is 60% or greater. 5. Re-Enrolment after Withdrawal: A student who has withdrawn from the Faculty must apply for re-enrolment by the stated deadline dates for the Fall Session and Winter Session as stated in the Calendar for a decision on their eligibility to resume studies in the Faculty. Specific deadline dates are listed in the Sessional Dates Section of the Calendar. Please contact the Office of the Registrar for application information Re-enrolment is not automatic. First year students making such applications should consult the First Year Counsellor. 6. Credit for Courses in the Fall and Winter Session: a) A student whose mark is less than 50% in any course taken as part of the academic load in a session will not be given credit for the course. If credit is not obtained for a course, the students must register for and repeat the course at the first opportunity. If a mark of 50% or greater is obtained in the repeated course, credit will be given for the course. With the approval of the responsible department or division a student in exceptional circumstances may be permitted to register for and repeat the final examination in the course at the first opportunity. If a mark of 50% or greater is obtained in the repeated examination, credit will be given for the course. With the approval of the responsible department or division a course may be substituted with one of comparable level when such is next available. If a mark of 50% or greater is obtained in the substituted course, credit will be granted. b) If credit is not obtained for the original course on the second attempt, be it through repeating or substituting of a course, the student will be permitted one additional opportunity to clear the requirement. In such case, the student must register for and repeat the course or a substituted course at the first opportunity. If credit is not obtained for the original course or for the substituted course on the third attempt, the student will be given the status Failed Refused Further Registration. c) A student who is not in a regular full-time or part-time program and is taking courses either to obtain credit for a missing requirement or to repeat a previous failed course must achieve a mark of 50% or greater in order to retain credit in such courses. d) PEY students who are given permission to take courses during their internship program will be given credit for those courses in which they obtain a mark of 50% or greater. e) In the event that the requirement to repeat or substitute a course causes timetable conflicts that cannot be sanctioned by the department or division, study of higher level conflict courses must be deferred. f) Promotion rules shall apply in the usual manner to students who are repeating or substituting courses or repeating examinations. Grades for repeated or substituted courses or repeated examinations shall be included in the weighted Session Average. 7. Credit for Courses in the Summer Session: A student taking any summer course(s) including repeated courses, must obtain a grade of at least 50% in order to retain credit. Therefore, there will be no audit/promotional assessment for the Summer Session and credit for courses will be assessed on a per course basis. Exclusion: T-Program students. 8. Late Withdrawal from Select Arts and Science Classes a) Students pursuing a degree in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering may request to withdraw without petition from a total of no more than 3.0 FCEs of HSS/CS and Free Elective courses offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science, provided the request is made by the last day of term in the relevant course. This provision does not apply to courses offered by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, including HSS/CS or free elective courses offered by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. b) Students will make such requests to their departmental counsellor, who has the authorization to approve such requests if the circumstances warrant approval of an exception to the normal drop deadlines. c) Approved withdrawals under this procedure will be noted on the academic record by the course designation LWD (Late Withdrawal). This course status will have no effect on the GPA, Sessional Averages, or other elements of the academic record

IX. TRANSFERS
1. Transfer within the Faculty A student may apply to transfer from one program to another within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Students must submit an online Request to Transfer application available via the Registrars Office website. Program Transfers at the completion of First year will not normally involve any additional courses to remedy deficiencies. a) Transfers between regular Engineering programs: i) Applications to transfer between Engineering programs may be submitted at any time during the Winter Session of First year but not later than May 30. All such applications are considered together on their merits after that date. ii) The approval of transfers is subject to the availability of places reserved for internal transfers. For the past few years, two or three programs each year have been unable to accept all students seeking transfer. iii) Students who have submitted an online Request to Transfer application before May 30 and who have completed First year with a clear record and with a Winter Session Average 65% or greater will receive preference for these internal places.

Weight Factor
Weight Factors are associated with every course, and are intended to help students determine the relative weight of every course, in terms of time spent in class. Most courses in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering are weighted 0.5, but some (full year courses) are weighted at 1.0 and others (quarter courses) are weighted at 0.25. Weight factors for courses outside of the Faculty may vary. Weight factors are used to calculate what is referred to as the weighted session average used in promotions (see Chapter 6). A regular program normally consists of five courses per session with a total weight of 2.5 credits; with prior approval of the Chair of their Department, full-time students may elect to increase their loads to a maximum of 3.0 credits per session. To be eligible for any scholarship or award granted solely on academic standing, a student must have completed not less than the normal full load (2.5 credits per term) within the two sessions upon which the award is based. A student whose program in these two sessions contains repeated courses will only be eligible if the aggregate of new courses is equal to or greater than 2.5 credits per term.
COURSE DEFINITIONS
Core Course A core course is defined as any course in a Program of Study that is expressly required by a department or division in order to fulfill degree requirements. Electives Elective courses fall into three categories: Technical Electives; Free Electives; and Complementary Studies Electives. In general, students must not select elective courses that would involve excessive duplication of material covered elsewhere in their programs. As the promotion of engineering students is based on weighted session averages, honours/pass/fail or credit/no-credit courses may not be taken as electives. Technical Electives Each program has a selection of Technical Electives, carefully designed to enhance students technical knowledge in specific areas. Details regarding technical electives can be found under each program listing. Free Electives Some programs require students to take a Free Elective. A Free Elective has few restrictions: any degree credit course listed in the current calendars of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, the Faculty of Arts and Science, and the School of Graduate Studies is acceptable as a Free Elective provided it does not duplicate material covered in courses taken or to be taken.

PART-TIME STUDIES
All years of the BASc degree in Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Materials, Mechanical and Mineral Engineering may be taken on a parttime basis (maximum of three courses per session). First Year Students First year students who are registered on a full-time basis may request to transfer to part-time studies by the deadline indicated under the Fall Sessional Dates. Permission to make this transfer must be obtained from either the Chair, First Year or the Faculty Registrar. Transfers from part-time to full-time studies will normally be permitted only after completion of an entire program year (usually 10 courses). Upper Year Students Students who have completed first, second or third year as full-time students may apply to transfer to part-time studies by submitting a Transfer form by the deadline indicated under the Winter Sessional Dates. Academic Program Load A part-time student may enroll in a maximum of three one-session courses in each of the Fall Session, the Winter Session and the Summer Session with permission of the responsible Division or Department. Once enrolled in the part-time program, a student must complete all the courses for a program year over a minimum of two calendar years before requesting to continue studies on a full-time basis. For example, a part-time student who requires ten courses to complete First Year may not proceed to Second Year after one year, i.e. the ten courses must be spread over a minimum of two years. The selection of courses must satisfy the prerequisite and co-requisite structure specified in the course descriptions. Students admitted with advanced standing who require the equivalent of at least 18 one-session courses to complete the requirements for a degree may register in a part-time program subject to the same conditions as other students. Students who require the equivalent of fewer than 18 one-session courses must attend on a full-time basis.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ADVISORS: Prof. Shamim Sheikh Associate Chair, Academic Ms. Nelly Pietropaolo Room GB105, Galbraith Building
Civil Engineering exists at the intersection of the human, built, and natural environments. Civil Engineers have historically been the professionals leading the design, construction, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of society's physical infrastructure, including: transportation networks, water supply and wastewater treatment systems, the structures for energy generation and distribution systems, buildings and other constructed works, land and water remediation, and more. Although civil engineering is a highly technical profession, responsible engineering today also requires that engineers understand the impact of their decisions and their constructed works on society at large, including issues of environmental stewardship and life-cycle economic responsibility. For example, significant proportions of the world's energy and raw materials production goes into the construction and operations of our buildings and transportation systems. Civil Engineers have a significant role to play in making these systems more sustainable for future generations. The undergraduate program is therefore designed to complement technical training with learning opportunities that address these challenges. Students enhance their undergraduate experience through a number of enriched programs. The undergraduate courses have been deliberately sequenced so that students can take advantage of the Minors in Bioengineering, Environmental Engineering or Sustainable Energy; the Certificate Programs in Preventative Engineering and Social Development or in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Small Business; co-op work opportunities through the Professional Experience Year Internship Program; and post-graduate academic opportunities through the Jeffrey Skoll BASc/MBA Program or through fast-tracked Master's degree programs.

CIV201H1 - Introduction to Civil Engineering, is a three-day field-based course. The course will be held immediately after Labour Day. Students are required to bring and wear their Personal Protective Equipment. The results of this course are used in computing the student's Second Year Fall Session average. An extra fee is charged to cover a transportation fee and accommodation. Students are required to complete 4 half-courses of CS/HSS, at least two of which must be HSS, before graduation. The core course APS301H1 Technology in Society and the Biosphere I, counts as one half-course towards this requirement. Note that valid HSS courses are more restrictive in scope than are CS courses. A list of pre-approved CS and HSS courses can be found on the Registrar's website. Successful completion of APS302H1 - Technology and Society in the Biosphere II and APS304H1 - Preventive Engineering and Social Development, both HSS electives, will satisfy the requirements for the Certificate Program in Preventative Engineering and Social Development.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (AEELEBASC) UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COUNSELLORS: Professor S. Valaee, Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies Ms. Linda Espeut Ms. Jayne Leake STUDENT ADVISORS: Ms. Karen Irving Ms. April Cheng Email: [email protected] Office: Room B600, Sandford Fleming Building Electrical engineering is an exciting and extensive field that applies the principles of science and mathematics with engineering fundamentals which are then used to develop a students skills needed to analyze, design and build electrical, electronic and photonics systems. The program includes diverse areas of study such as microelectronics, digital communications, wireless systems, photonics systems, signal processing, control, microprocessors, computer technology, energy systems and electronic device fabrication. This breadth is unique to Electrical Engineering and opens a wide range of career possibilities. As a result, the program also ensures that through their course work, a student gains experience in communication, problem-solving and team management skills. An electrical engineer may be involved in the design, development and testing of electrical and electronic equipment such as telecommunication systems, industrial process controls, signal processing, navigation systems, power generation, transmission systems, wireless and optical communications and integrated circuit engineering. The first two years of study provide the essential background in basic science and mathematics and also introduces the student to the important concepts in Electrical and Computer Engineering such as circuits, digital systems, electronics, and communication systems. These two years of study are identical to Computer Engineering. In third and fourth year, the curriculum allows flexibility in a students course selection, subject to program and accreditation requirements described below. A student has greater choice from a broad array of courses in six areas of study that would appeal to their individual strengths and interests. A number of streams or course packages called Public/Built-In Profiles have been developed by the department's Curriculum Matters Committee (CMC) members to serve as course selection examples. These can be used as inspiration for a student to help develop more concrete decisions on their own. A student is also free to use one of the public profiles as their template, the example course packages can be found at: www.ece.utoronto.ca/Current_Undergraduate_Studies/program/Curriculum_Streams.htm. An on-line program called Magellan is available to facilitate the course selection process. All second year students will have access to Magellan by the end of their fall term. If at any time a student has questions about their curriculum decisions, contact information can be found at: www.ece.utoronto.ca/Current_Undergraduate_Studies/program/magellan.htm

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE (AEESCBASE) CHAIR: Professor W.R. Cluett, Ph.D., P.Eng. Room 2110, Bahen Centre, 416-978-2903 Email: [email protected] UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COUNSELLORS: Nicole Adoranti (Years 1 and 2) Room 2110, Bahen Centre, 416-946-7351 Email: [email protected] Anne Marie Kwan (Years 3 and 4) Room 2110, Bahen Centre, 416-946-7352 Email: [email protected] Engineering Science is an enriched program that provides excellent preparation for postgraduate studies in engineering and science as well as for other professional degree programs such as business, law and medicine. Graduates of the program are also well qualified to immediately embark on professional engineering-related careers. The Engineering Science program shares elements of the Facultys Engineering programs, but is distinct in many respects with the key differences being: The Engineering Science program is designed and delivered at a level that is more academically demanding; The Engineering Science program contains more mathematics, science and engineering science, with greater focus on deriving results using a first principles approach; The Engineering Science program has a distinct 2+2 curriculum structure, namely a 2-year foundation curriculum followed by a 2-year specialization curriculum in a diverse range of fields, many of which are unique to the Engineering Science program; The Engineering Science program requires that all students complete an independent research-based thesis project. Engineering Science students in years 1, 2 and 3 are required to maintain a full course load, unless they gain permission from their academic counselor in the Division of Engineering Science to pursue part time studies or less than a normal/full course load due to medical or personal reasons. Students entering year 4 are expected to maintain a full course load, but students with medical or personal reasons or who have completed program requirements through summer school or while on PEY may go part time or less than a full course load in 4F and/or 4W. This is subject to the approval of their academic counselor. Please note that a reduced course load in 4F or 4W may impact award assessments. Please refer to the academic calendar under "Academic Regulations VII: Academic Standing" for Honours Standing criteria related to course load, and consult with your academic counselor for more information. Transfers in Year 1 from Engineering Science to one of the Facultys Engineering programs are permitted early in the Fall Session (towards the end of September), at the end of the Fall Session, and at the end of the Winter Session. Continuation into the Winter Session of Year 1 requires a minimum average of 55% in the Fall Session and continuation into Year 2 requires a minimum average of 65% in the Winter Session of Year 1. Students who do not meet these requirements are permitted to transfer into one of the Facultys Engineering programs, subject to the requirements and provisions outlined in the section on Academic Regulations in this Calendar. THE ENGINEERING SCIENCE CURRICULUM The first two years of the curriculum focus on the foundations of both engineering and science. The courses in the first two years of the program are common for all students and are only offered to students in the program. At the end of Second Year, each student selects one of the following Options to pursue in their final two years and this represents their major field of specialization: Aerospace Engineering Biomedical Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Energy Systems Engineering Engineering Mathematics, Statistics & Finance Infrastructure Engineering Nanoengineering Engineering Physics The curriculum for the first two years and the curricula for the eight Options are presented on the pages that follow. Degree Designation Engineering Science students graduate with the degree Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science. On their official transcript, their chosen Option is indicated as their Major, e.g. Major in Aerospace Engineering. Degree Requirements In order to graduate, students must meet all of the degree requirements outlined in the section on Academic Regulations in this Calendar. In addition to these requirements, students must also successfully complete their chosen Program of Study in Engineering Science as described on the following

LASSONDE MINERAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM (AELMEBASC)
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COUNSELLORS: Ms. Shayni Clarke Room GB105, Galbraith Building, 416-978-5905 E-mail: [email protected] Ms. Teresa Miniaci Room MB129, Lassonde Mining Building, 416-946-4095 Email: [email protected]
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ADVISORS: Professor John Hadjigeorgiou, Director, Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program Ms. Nelly Pietropaolo Room GB105, Galbraith Building
Mineral engineering encompasses those activities necessary to extract and process natural mineral resources. The Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program is comprehensive, covering topics from the entire scope of minerals engineering: from geology and mineral exploration, through analysis and design of surface and underground excavations, mechanical and explosive excavation of geological materials, planning and management of mines and quarries, processing of metallic, nonmetallic and industrial minerals, safety and environmental protection, and on to financial aspects of minerals operations. This wide range of topics means that the program is truly interdisciplinary, using concepts and techniques from mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology and economics; in the setting of the University of Toronto it is thus both interdepartmental and interfaculty, with the Departments of Civil Engineering, Geology and Materials Science and Engineering contributing to the program. As Toronto is a world centre for mining and mining finance, the program is able to maintain close links with the minerals industry, and thus invites recognised experts from various branches of the industry to deliver state-of-the-art treatment of specialised topics within the curriculum. The first year of the four-year curriculum is similar to that of other engineering programs at the University. All subsequent years are unique to the Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program, with transfer into Year 2 of Mineral Engineering being permitted from both the General Engineering first year and other engineering programs. Year 2 concentrates on minerals engineering fundamentals, and years 3 and 4 comprise a minerals engineering core supplemented by technical electives. A wide range of technical electives are available, thereby allowing students to specialise should they so wish in one particular branch of minerals engineering. Students also study humanities and complementary studies electives in the final two years. Practical aspects of the program are presented through laboratory sessions, and students attend one survey and one geology field camp, each of two weeks duration. Students are encouraged and helped to obtain industrial experience during summer vacations, and have the opportunity to take a Professional Experience Year between years 3 and 4. Attractive entrance and in-course scholarships and bursaries are available, including the prestigious, competitively awarded Lassonde Scholarships. Graduates obtain a comprehensive training in minerals engineering, and are well prepared for future challenges in the planning and financing of mineral and related engineering projects as well as for graduate study in mining, geological, or civil engineering. The program is accredited with the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Explanation of course descriptions On the following pages are brief outlines of the courses prescribed for students in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, listed in alphabetical order of the prefixes. The suffix following the course number indicates the session in which the course is given; the second line of the description shows the program and year for which the course is prescribed, the number of hours of lectures, laboratory and tutorial work per week, and the weight units assigned to the course. Sample ECE461H1 S Internetworking IV- AECPEBASCC; IV - AECPEBASC, AEESCBASEC (elective) 3/3a/1a/0.50 ECE: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 461: Course number H1: Half course, St George Campus S: A second-session (winter) course. F would indicate a first-session or fall course; F/S would indicate that the course given in the first session is repeated in the second session (a student may take one or the other, but not both); Y would indicate a course that continues over both sessions, i.e., a year-long course. For determination as to whether a course is considered core or a technical elective for your program, consult your program curriculum outline in Chapter 7. 3: three hours lectures/week 3a: 3 hours of laboratory occuring on alternating weeks 1a: 1 hour of tutorial occuring on alternating week If a component of the course (ie lecture, laboratory or tutorial) timing is followed by an 'm', this means the component does not follow a weekly or alternating format. The professor of the course will explain the timing of the component in class. 0.50: equals one half credit In addition to the 100-, 200-, 300- and 400-series courses, this Calendar also lists courses in the 500- and 1000-series. The 500-series courses are undergraduate courses that are also intended for graduate students; 1000-series are graduate courses that are open to undergraduate students by permission. Many course descriptions include a statement of exclusions, prerequisites and co-requisites. The absence of such a statement does not imply that the course does not have such conditions. In these statements, the oblique symbol (/) means OR, and the comma (,) means AND. Any recommendation for textbooks should be considered as tentative only, and is subject to change. Students should therefore not purchase textbooks until they have been in attendance in the course, unless informed otherwise by their department. Note: Selected Arts and Science courses appear in this calendar. Requisite and exclusion information listed for Arts and Science course may not apply to Engineering students. If you are unsure if you meet the requirement for a course you should speak with the Arts and Science department offering the course or your departmental counsellor. Further, Breadth and Distribution requirements listed for Arts and Science courses apply only to students registered in the Faculty of Arts and Science and do not apply to students registered in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. For a complete course listing of Arts and Science courses please refer to the Arts and Science Academic Calendar.

Complementary Studies elective Part 1 of the 2 Part Entrepreneurship Program The age of enterprise has arrived. Strategic use of technology in all sorts of businesses makes the difference between success and failure for these firms. Wealth creation is a real option for many and the business atmosphere is ready for you! Increasingly, people are seeing the advantages of doing their own thing, in their own way, in their own time. Entrepreneurs can control their own lives, structure their own progress and be accountable for their own success - they can fail, but they can not be fired! After all, engineers are the most capable people to be in the forefront of this drive to the business life of the next century. This course is the first of a series of two dealing with entrepreneurship and management of a small company. It is intended that the student would continue to take the follow up course APS432 as s/he progresses toward the engineering degree. Therefore, it is advisable that the descriptions of both courses be studied prior to deciding to take this one. This is a limited enrolment course. If the number of students electing to take the course exceeds the class size limit, selection of the final group will be made on the basis of the Entrepreneurs Test. There will be a certificate awarded upon the successful completion of both courses attesting to the fact that the student has passed this Entrepreneurial Course Series at the University of Toronto. The course is based on real life issues, not theoretical developments or untried options. Topics covered include: Who is an entrepreneur; Canadian business environment; Acquisitions; Different business types (retail, wholesale, manufacturing, and services); Franchising; Human resources, Leadership, Business law; and many others.

This is part two of the Entrepreneurship course series. The student considering taking this course would typically plan to pursue a career in small business started by him/herself, or in a family enterprise. The skills acquired, however, are very useful in any business where a graduate might end up in his/her career, without the need for actually being an entrepreneur. Our approach to teaching is based on real-life business experiences and many years of successful practice of what we preach. The course contains very little theoretical work or academic approaches. It is designed to familiarise you with the kinds of opportunities (problems) likely to be encountered in an entrepreneurial career. If you really want this lifestyle and are prepared to work hard, we will provide you with the practical knowledge and technical skills required to pursue this kind of career. Topics covered in this course include: Marketing and Sales; Legal issues; Financing the business; Human Resources challenges, the Business Plan and many other issues. Note that the course material may be adjusted between the two courses as required. We recognize the value of communication skills in both the classroom and in project reports. In fact, we require that you learn how to present yourself in a business-like manner. As and when appropriate, outside visitors from the business community will join in and contribute to the class discussions. The course deals with practical concepts, actual past and current events and is presented from the point of view of someone who has done it all. This means that what you hear is the real stuff. There will be several assignments and the preparation of a full Business Plan as the session project. It should be noted that the 5 hours per week would all be used for whatever is needed at the time, so tutorials will not normally happen as the calendar indicates them.
