Notes

1. MSCI 401/MSCI 402 may be replaced by GENE 403/GENE 404.


2. Some of the List I courses have prerequisites that are not met by core courses in Management
Engineering; see their course descriptions in this Calendar before planning elective choices.
3. Course schedules may vary from term to term; check course schedules before planning elective choices.
4. Students are encouraged to take List II electives as free electives to extend their knowledge of
management engineering. However, free electives may be used to deepen a concentration in any area of
engineering or to pursue an interest outside of engineering. Free electives may be selected from any
department at the University.

Rules Restricting Choice of the Nine Elective Courses

RULE 1. At least six of the nine electives must be from List I. Students can count other Engineering courses
toward List I (subject to associate chair approval).

RULE 2. At least one of the nine electives must be from List A of the Complementary Studies Requirements for
Engineering Students, i.e., a course on the impact of technology on society.

Complementary Studies Component

All engineering students are required to take Complementary Studies courses, as described in Complementary
Studies Requirements for Engineering Students. Most of these requirements are satisfied in the core
curriculum, namely, ENGL 192, MSCI 211, MSCI 261, MSCI 263, MSCI 311, together with satisfactory
evaluations on three work-term reports. The requirement for studies on the impact of technology on society is
met by RULE 2, above.

Professional Development (PD) Courses

Professional development courses are required as described in the BASc and BSE Specific Degree Requirements
section on Work Terms. Management Engineering students are also required to take PD 22 Professionalism and
Ethics in Engineering Practice. This course replaces one of the PD electives such that for Management
Engineering students, PD 22 is an additional core PD course, and the number of PD electives required is
reduced by one. Management Engineering students are automatically enrolled in the required core PD courses
and PD 22, but must enrol in the elective PD courses using the normal Quest enrolment process.

Options and Minors

Several Faculty Designated Options are available to Engineering students. These are listed and described
elsewhere in this section of the Calendar. If a student satisfies the option requirements (usually seven or eight
courses), the appropriate designation will be shown on the student's transcript. The course requirements for
some options can be partially met by taking Management Engineering electives, but students may have to take
extra courses to complete the requirements.

The Management Sciences Option will not be awarded to any Management Engineering student.

Minors are sequences of courses that are arranged in conjunction with another department and lead to an
appropriate designation on the transcript and diploma. Approval from both Management Sciences and the other
department is required. Usually a student must take extra courses to complete a minor. See the discussion in
this section of the Calendar under the heading Options, Specializations and Electives for Engineering Students.

Term-by-Term Structure

The Management Engineering plan follows the eight-stream schedule (i.e., beginning with terms 1A and 1B in
the fall and winter terms, followed by alternating work and academic terms). In accordance with Faculty rules,
in order to complete their degree, students must have at least five work terms, and they must submit three
work-term reports, in academic terms following three work terms.
