IMPORTANT NOTE: Students must normally fulfil the degree requirements described in the undergraduate calendar that is in effect at the time that they started the program. Most students in the class of 2020 need to fulfil the SE degree requirements described in the 2015-2016 calendar. The online calendar defaults to the most recent one, but you can select a different year in the top left of the web page. The SE director has given students in your class the option to choose to satisfy the SE degree requirements in the 2016-2017 calendar. Note that you must meet all of the requirements of whichever calendar you choose. The main differences between the 2016-2017 calendar and the 2015-2016 calendar are:

ATE lists “tightened up” i.e. more restrictive lists
1 ATE converted to an open elective
1 list C LE converted to an open elective
PD10 becomes mandatory
the communication LE list changed slightly

Notes:

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 for which they meet the requisites. Advanced Technical Electives may not be taken before the 3A term.
Students may choose to take three electives in 4A and four electives in 4B, instead of two in 4A and five in 4B.
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.
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.
Students may replace STAT 206 and one of their unrestricted electives with the combination of STAT 230 and STAT 231.
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.

Advanced technical electives (ATEs)

Three Advanced Technical Electives (ATE):

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.
