Complementary Studies Requirements for Engineering Students

The aim of complementary studies is to provide an understanding of our heritage and social environment, and of the way in which science and engineering interact with them. These studies should develop sufficient interest to encourage further individual study.

Further objectives are that the engineering student develop a broader intellectual outlook, a broader understanding of moral, ethical and social values, and an improved ability to communicate.

Requirements

1. At least one course must be taken that deals with the Impact of Technology on Society. Courses which satisfy this requirement appear in List A -- Impact Courses.
2. At least one course must be taken in Engineering Economics. Courses which satisfy this requirement appear in List B -- Engineering Economics Courses. (Note that core programs contain a course from this list.)
3. At least two courses must be taken that deal with the central issues, methodologies and thought processes of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Courses that satisfy this requirement appear in List C -- Humanities and Social Sciences Courses.
4. A minimum number of courses must be taken as required by individual programs. The exact requirements vary according to program; for details, see individual departmental regulations. Courses which appear in Lists A, B, C and D may be used to meet these requirements.
5. Provision must be made to develop the student's ability to communicate adequately both orally and in writing. The exact manner in which this requirement is satisfied varies according to program; for details, see individual departmental regulations.

Notes

1. Some courses are available by UW distance education and may be taken during a student's work terms. Also, courses taken at another university during a work term may be eligible for a 'transfer of credit' if approved by the student's Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.
2. Students who decide their preferred choices at pre-registration time are most likely to get their choice. Changes made at the beginning of a term may cause timetable conflicts and thus may not be possible.
3. For descriptions of the content of courses, see Chapter 16 of the UW Undergraduate Calendar under the pro gram prefix of the course, e.g. CIV E -- Civil Engineering, PHIL -- Philosophy, etc.
4. Students who wish to take linguistic and grammar courses must have their choices approved by their home department Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies and, if approved, students must also be assessed by the language department to determine their facility with the language. Such courses may only be used to satisfy requirement D above.
5. Courses approved for the English Language Proficiency requirements are not acceptable for the Complementary Studies program.
6. Students are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary prerequisites.
7. Associate Chairs for Undergraduate Studies may change the course category for the program of individual students who are special cases.

Options and Electives for Engineering Students

1. Each of the Engineering undergraduate programs consists of two course groupings:
   • The compulsory core program within the department which prepares the student for practice in that particular branch of engineering and comprises 70 to 80 percent of the course load.
   • Elective courses which comprise 20 to 30 percent of the course load. Of these elective courses a minimum of five must be chosen from subjects that complement the engineering curriculum. This Complementary Studies requirement gives students some breadth of studies related to their role as educated professionals in society. (See Complementary Studies Requirement section.)
   In the elective courses, students with special interests may, with the approval of their department Associate Chair, structure individual groupings. However, for reasons of academic continuity and scheduling, particular course groupings have been identified and are recommended to students. Some of these course groupings are pre-scheduled to ensure that courses in the group will not conflict with core courses.
2. The remaining elective courses are usually chosen from engineering department courses which will give some depth in a particular technical discipline appropriate to a student's branch of engineering. (See Engineering Departments' program descriptions for listings of suggested elective course groupings of this type.)
3. Designated Options. Certain elective course groupings have been recognized by the Faculty of Engineering or the University as DESIGNATED OPTIONS. Students who complete the requirements of these options will have a designation of completion of the option recorded on their transcripts. At present the available options and the corresponding option co-ordinators are the following:

   Option	Co-ordinator
   Mathematics	G. Heppler, Systems Design Engineering
   Physics	C.R. Selvakumar, Electrical and Computer Engineering
   Computer Engineering	B.R. Preiss, Electrical and Computer Engineering
   Statistics	C. Young, Stat. and Actuarial Science or K. Hipel, Systems Design Engineering
   Water Resources	N. Kouwen, Civil Engineering
   Management Sciences	F. Safayeni, Management Sciences
   International Studies	H.C. Ratz, Director of
   in Engineering	Engineering Exchange Programs
   Environmental	G.E. Schneider, Associate
   Engineering	Dean of Engineering, Undergraduate Studies
   Software Engineering	W. Loucks, Electrical and Computer Engineering

   Because designated Options can require up to eight courses, it may be necessary for students to take extra courses to complete the required work in some options. To carry extra courses, a student's academic standing must be such that the extra load will not lead to a high risk of failure, and permission of the Department Associate Chair must be obtained.
   For a designation to appear on the transcript a student must achieve an average of 60% in the option courses and a grade of 50% in each of the courses in the option. Details follow later in this section.

4. Although Engineering does not offer 'MINORS' in its departments many other departments of the University do. A Minor requires a minimum of ten courses chosen from lists prepared by the departments. Engineering students who choose a Minor must take extra courses. However, often courses in a Minor can also be used to satisfy some of the requirements of the technical elective or complementary studies course groups.
5. It is possible for a graduate with a BASc degree in Engineering to complete the requirements for a non-major General BA in a further two terms of study. Assuming satisfactory grades and the appropriate choice of Complementary Studies Electives, credit for liberal Arts and Science courses (including mathematics and science subjects in Engineering) may be transferred to meet up to two-thirds of the General BA requirement. Students interested in pursuing such a program should consult with their Department Associate Chair or the Director of General Studies for Engineering, and the Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts for Undergraduate Affairs.
6. The Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo, has student exchange programs with Engineering schools in other countries. These permit Waterloo students to experience study in different cultural environments, and to receive academic credit towards their program requirements. Such exchanges are currently active with:

   Australia	Monash University
   	Queensland University of Technology
   	University of Queensland
   	University of Technology, Sydney
   Denmark	Technical University of Denmark
   England	University of Birmingham
   	University of Hull
   	University of Leeds
   France	Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble
   	Institut National des Sciences Appliquees de Lyon
   	Université de Technologie de Compiègne
   	Université de Nantes
   	Ontario/Rhône-Alpes [Grenoble; Lyon]
   Germany	Technische Universität Braunschweig
   	Technische Universität Hamburg- Harburg
   	Universität Karlsruhe
   	Universität Gesamthochschule Paderborn
   	Ontario/Baden-Württemberg [Stuttgart; Karlsruhe]
   Holland	Delft University of Technology
   Japan	Kyoto University
   	Tottori University
   Poland	Warsaw University of Technology
   Northern Ireland	University of Ulster
   Singapore	National University of Singapore
   	Nanyang Technological University
   South Korea	Pohang University of Science and Technology
   Switzerland	École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
   Ukraine	Dnipropetrovsk Institutions

Notes

1. Options and Electives available to engineering students are subject to change and development. Students are advised to obtain the latest information from their department Undergraduate Office or the Faculty of Engineering Associate Dean's Office before making final decisions.
2. Students who decide their preferred choices at pre-registration time are most likely to get their choice. Changes made at the beginning of a term may cause timetable conflicts and thus may not be possible.
3. For descriptions of the content of courses see course descriptions under the program prefix of the course e.g. CIV E -- Civil Engineering, PHIL -- Philosophy, GEN E -- General Engineering, etc.

For further information see the Management Sciences section in this chapter of the calendar or contact the Associate Chair of the Management Sciences Department, who is the Option Co-ordinator.

Option in International Studies in Engineering

The Option consists of academic requirements on the UW campus, together with study terms or work terms, or both, at overseas locations, for at least eight months. To be accepted for the Option designation of International Studies in Engineering, the complete program must be approved by the Co-ordinator of the Option.

1. Academic requirements on the UW campus: this component may involve language and cultural studies (history and literature) as part of an integrated program for the individual student.
   The subjects that are studied before the overseas experience would normally be related to the language, literature, and culture of the country of destination. The subjects studied upon return would normally be directed towards integrating the experience into the broader perspective through courses in international economics, history, or politics.
2. Study terms, or work terms, or both, in overseas institutions and industries; normally, at least two terms will be spent abroad. In the case of overseas study terms, credit may be transferred to the student's UW program on a course by course basis, as approved by the Department of the student's registration.

Program

1. Designation of the Option requires the approval of the Option Co-ordinator, and normally will be limited to students who maintain at least a 70% average. The requirements of the Option are GEN E 303 (see (3) below), and six other courses as specified in (2), (4) and (5) below. Some of the courses may also count as Complementary Studies Electives at the discretion of the student's home department.
2. Three UW courses will normally be required before leaving for abroad, which normally will not occur before the 3A term is complete. These subjects will be specified according to the country of destination, and will include literature, history, and regional studies, as well as language preparation.
3. The second part of the program is an overseas experience of at least two terms, including study terms or work terms, or both. An acceptable written report is required, and would earn the equivalent of a course credit towards the requirements of the Option under GEN E 303. The student would register in GEN E 303 in the first academic term upon return, although this does not count towards the normal academic load, nor does it earn credit towards a degree.
4. The final part of the program is at least three UW courses, or the equivalent, from an approved list that complete the requirements of the International Studies Option. These must be approved by the Option Co-ordinator, and would be directed towards integrating the overseas experience into the broader perspective through courses in international economics, history or politics.
5. There is considerable flexibility permitted in the scheduling of the six courses beyond that outlined in (2) and (4) above. In particular, suitable subjects taken when abroad may be approved by the Option Co-ordinator for credit towards the course requirement.

Option in Environmental Engineering

The Option consists of a set of five required courses and a two-term project course. The project course will normally be taken in the 4A and 4B academic terms. The courses are:

ERS 241* Introduction to Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
BIOL 250+ Ecology
ENV E 220 Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
ENV E 320 Environmental Resource Management
ENV E 420 Modelling of the Environment
ENV E 430 Environmental Engineering Project 1
ENV E 431 Environmental Engineering Project 2

*ERS 241 satisfies the Impact of Technology on Society requirement as part of the Complementary Studies complement of courses required of Engineering students.

+ENV S 200 is an acceptable equivalent for BIOL 250.

Substitution of other courses, if applicable, require the approval of the Option Co-ordinator, the Associate Dean of Engineering, Undergraduate Studies. In the case of the project course, use of this course for departmental program requirements will also require the approval of the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies of the student's home department.

Option in Software Engineering Faculty of Mathematics and Faculty of Engineering

However, these demands have not been all technical. Industry is also asking for graduates who have facility across several disciplines. Our software engineering option graduates need to have substantial communications, business, and reasoning skills. Our graduates should be able to make presentations to technical and non-technical audiences, write coherent well-reasoned reports, work in groups, and assess the social, technical, legal, and commercial implications of the technology they help to create.

Thus, the Software Engineering Option has been designed jointly by the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering to meet these demands.

The Option is meant to be part of either a BASc or BMath degree, and is offered jointly by the Faculties of Engineering and Mathematics. Given that the Option involves two faculties, it has slightly different realizations in those faculties. This option description is found in the calendar chapters for each faculty (the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Mathematics). The interested reader is directed to the appropriate portion of the Calendar.

It should be noted that this description is for an option in addition to a degree. This option does not replace any of the normal degree requirements. Engineering students must satisfy the BASc degree requirements as specified in the Faculty of Engineering chapter, and Mathematics students must satisfy the BMath requirements specified in the Faculty of Mathematics chapter. In most cases courses which satisfy the Software Engineering Option requirements, can be selected to also satisfy some component of the degree.

Software Engineering Components

The technical component consists of three sub categories: the central concepts of the discipline, the foundations of software engineering, and the applications for which software engineering techniques are to be used. The table below summarizes the technical aspects of software engineering as they relate to Engineering and Mathematics students.

The second component of this discipline is linkage. It is clearly important for the software professional to be able to adapt to the environment often associated with software engineering. As a result of this need, four areas of study have been included in the requirements: Societal Issues, Business Issues, Reasoning Methodologies, and Communications. The first three areas of study can be satisfied by taking courses from the lists of courses in the Linkage Summary. Communication skills, both written and verbal, are very important aspects of software engineering, and are a significant component of the foundation technical courses as well as some of the linkage courses. Each student will have different needs in this area, and students are encouraged to consider taking courses from the suggested list of Communications courses below.

Technical Summary

Central Concepts All Required		Foundations All Required	Applications Two chosen to also meet Degree Requirements
BASc	BMath	BASc/BMath
E&CE 203	CS 241	E&CE 451/CS 445	E&CE 428	CS 454
E&CE 222	CS 246	E&CE 452/CS 446	E&CE 429	CS 457
E&CE 223	CS 340	E&CE 453/CS 447	E&CE 457	CS 466

E&CE 380	CS 360
E&CE 304	CS 370
E&CE 456	CS 448

Degree requirements must be met. In many cases the Software Engineering Option courses may satisfy some portion of degree requirements.

Suggested Communications Courses

Given that the Foundations courses require a high level of proficiency in both written and oral communication skills, students should consider how they can upgrade these skills. The following list of courses is intended for students wishing to improve their communication skills. If one of these courses is taken, then only three of the linkage courses listed above (one from each list) is required. Students interested in pursuing this alternative should discuss their selection with their student advisor. Suggested communications courses: ENGL 109, 140R, 209, 210E, 210F, 219, 309E, 335, 376R, 392A, 392B, DRAMA 223, 224, 225, 323, 324. Students should be aware that these courses may have enrollment limits, or may not fit their schedules.
