Minor Programs in the Faculty of Engineering

This section includes general information concerning minors that are designed for students in the Faculty of Engineering.

Minors are coherent sequences of courses taken in addition to the courses required for the B.Eng., B.S.E., or B.Sc.(Arch.) degree. Minors normally consist of 18–24 credits, allowing 9–12 credits of overlap with the degree program. The real credit cost to the student is typically 9–15 credits, representing one term beyond the B.Eng., B.S.E., or B.Sc.(Arch.) degree program. All courses in a minor must be passed with a grade of C or better.

Engineering students choose from a considerable variety of complementary courses under the categories of technical and complementary studies. Students should refer to their department for information concerning selection of complementary courses, and should see their departmental adviser. Departments also publish information regarding the choice of courses in this publication and in separate documents.

Note: Students are also permitted to register for minor concentrations offered by departments in the Faculty of Arts. Students must obtain approval from both the department in the Faculty of Arts and from the °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê Engineering Student Centre (Student Affairs Office) (Frank Dawson Adams Building, Room 22), before registering in one of these minors.
