Then both CE and EE students choose one additional course from this list:
Fourth-year TEs (3 courses, or up to 4)
Both CE and EE students must meet these requirements:
Non-ECE Engineering TE (1 course, or up to 2)
NEW beginning with the class of 2024
- One TE (up to a maximum of two) must be from another Engineering program (a "non-ECE Engineering TE").

Pre-approved Technical Electives from outside Engineering
The courses listed below show all non-Engineering courses which have, in the past, been used as Technical Electives. You do not have to seek approval to have these counted as your allowed non-ECE technical electives. Access to these courses is determined by the delivering department (Actuarial Science for ACTSC 446, Combinatorics & Optimization for CO 250 etc.) and space is not guaranteed for you.
Courses from other faculties, for example, the Faculty of Mathematics, do not count as non-ECE Engineering technical electives. MSCI courses designated as Complementary Studies Electives (CSEs) cannot count as technical electives.
