Note: Current ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® students should refer to Student Planning in my¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® and the ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® Academic Calendar governing their entry year, and speak to an academic advisor about course requirements. The course structure presented for this program is a recommended, unofficial progression for prospective students.

The following core design clinic courses must be taken in succession to support the students’ developing skills.

Community Design Program
Engineering 1210—Engineering Communications
Engineering 1220—Engineering Analysis

Junior Design Clinic
Engineering 2210—Engineering Projects I
Engineering 2220—Engineering Projects II

Senior Design Clinics
Engineering 3710—Project-Based Professional Practice I
Engineering 3720—Project-Based Professional Practice II
Engineering 4710—Project-Based Professional Practice III
Engineering 4720—Project-Based Professional Practice IV

The following are the course requirements for the Sustainable Design Engineering degree which can be taken over a four-year or a five-year course plan. Refer to the individual course matrices for the course sequencing for each of these plans:  

Please note that a 60% minimum grade is required in each of the following courses to proceed to the next course: Engineering 1210, 1220, 2210, 2220, 3710, 3720 and 4710. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic advisor early in the program to review course selection.

Notes
* Engineering 1210 satisfies the intensive writing course requirement.
** Four engineering focus area electives are required. The first of these must be the introductory elective course in either Mechatronics (ENGN 3340), Sustainable Energy (ENGN 3440), or Bio-Resources (ENGN 3540) The remaining three engineering focus area electives can be selected from any of the elective courses listed below depending on availability. At least one of the engineering focus area electives must be at the 4000 level.
*** Complementary studies courses are any non-engineering or non-science courses.
