* This reflects changes made to the Year 1 curriculum that will be effective from Fall 2016
† Technical Elective (TE) courses in the 3B and 4A terms: at least two courses chosen from the respective list of NE technical electives plus a third TE course chosen either from the same set of NE technical electives or from a different undergraduate program in the Faculty of Engineering (via a course override form approved by the relevant course instructor and the NE program). Please note that students are not limited to choosing only one of the topics offered in any given area of concentration.
‡ Technical Elective (TE) courses in the 4B term: at least one course chosen from the list of 4B NE techical electives list plus two TE courses chosen from the 4B NE technical electives list and/or a different undergraduate program in the Faculty of Engineering (using a course override approval form). Note also that it is not uncommon to find two different topics offered in the same area of concentration in any give year; and distinguished by the addition of "T01" for "Topic 1" and so on.
** The senior laboratory sequences consist of NE 454X plus NE 455X, with X=A, B, C, or D. Each NE 455X course has the corresponding NE 454X course as a prerequisite.
