The fundamental courses are all part of the normal program for Electrical Engineering students as outlined in Table 1. Two of the options core courses, E&CE 241 and E&CE 362 are also part of the normal program for the electrical students. E&CE 324 needs to be taken as an extra course since this is not part of the normal Electrical program. The Electrical students could take this with the Computer Engineering students in their 3B term in place of a CSE, which they would make up as an extra course. In this case they could also replace E&CE 309 in their 3A term with ME 321 to complete their core requirements. The E&CE 309, or equivalent could be taken later as an extra course.
The second possibility would be the replacement of their 3B CSE with either ME 321 or SYDE 382, and the replacement of E&CE 309 in 3A with a special version of E&CE 324 offered in the spring term specifically for students in the option. In both scenarios, the students will have to make up the CSE and E&CE 309 or equivalent.
The students would then do their Level 3 courses in 4th year. In their 4A term, the choice is rather limited since the students only have three technical electives at this time. They would have to take E&CE 481 and one of E&CE 463 or ME 547 in their 4A term. In their 4B term they have 4 technical electives which will allow them to complete one course from each of the remaining three groups of courses listed in Table 3.
Finally, it is expected that the Electrical students will do a Mechatronics Project as part of the new Engineering Design Project course sequence in the Electrical Engineering program.
