The advanced technical electives comprise fourth-year course offerings in CS or ECE. Students are advised to plan ahead when selecting ATEs. Most ATEs are not offered every term, and some ATEs have other ATEs as prerequisites. Other courses may be approved by the Program Director.

One of the following CS courses (CS List):

CS 442 Principles of Programming Languages
CS 444 Compiler Construction
CS 448 Database Systems Implementation
CS 449 Human-Computer Interaction 
CS 450 Computer Architecture

One additional course from the CS and ECE lists above

Normally these courses are in the natural sciences, chosen from the list below. Alternate courses may be chosen in consultation with the SE Program Advisors.

Science Elective Courses:
BIOL 110, (BIOL 130 and BIOL 130L), BIOL 165, BIOL 239, BIOL 240, BIOL 273, CHE 161, (CHEM 262 and CHEM 262L), EARTH 121, EARTH 122, PHYS 234, PHYS 263, PHYS 275, PHYS 334, PHYS 375, SCI 238, SCI 250 

At least one from each of the areas of Societal Issues, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Communications, as specified below. Students should be aware that these courses may have enrolment limits, or may not fit their schedules.

One course on Societal Issues:
CS 492, Complementary Studies Elective List A

One course on Communication:
ENGL 109, ENGL 129R/EMLS 129R, EMLS 101R, EMLS 102R, SPCOM 100, SPCOM 223

One additional course on Humanities and Social Sciences:
Complementary Studies Elective List C

Notes

1. There are eleven electives. As detailed above, these electives must include three advanced technical electives, two science electives, and three linkage electives. For their remaining three electives, students may choose to take additional courses from the elective lists above or any other 0.5 credit course(s) for which they meet the requisites. Advanced Technical Electives may not be taken before the 3A term.
2. Students may choose to take three electives in 4A and four electives in 4B, instead of two in 4A and five in 4B. 
3. Students enrolled in Software Engineering will only be permitted to use the WD and WF (see Grading System for descriptions) provisions used in the Faculty of Mathematics to withdraw from extra courses taken above and beyond the degree requirements.
4. With the permission of the Program Advisor, ECE 358 may be taken in 3A or 3B and replaced with a technical elective in 4A if required as a prerequisite for an ATE.
5. Students may replace STAT 206 and one of their unrestricted electives with the combination of STAT 230 and STAT 231.
6. The Linkage elective on Communication is normally taken in the 2A term. It must be completed with a grade of at least 60% prior to enrolling in the 3A term.

Communication Skills Requirement

Strong communication skills are essential to academic, professional, and personal success. As such, Software Engineering students must take a course from the Linkage Elective Communication List in the 2A term. This elective list parallels the Math Communication Skills Requirements List 1. In addition to the communication elective, Software Engineering students must satisfy the Technical Presentation Milestone (described below) in the 2B term. Communication skills are further developed and evaluated in three work-term reports (described below) and in SE 101, SE 390, SE 490, and SE 491.
