Associate Dean (Academic) Philip H. Alexander; B.A.Sc. (Assumption), M.A.Sc., (Windsor), P.Eng. The engineering curriculum leading to the B.A.Sc. degree has been designed to offer students an education that is immediately valuable to them on graduation and which, at the same time, provides a foundation to accommodate their further education in industry or research. The first year is common in order to give the student an introduction to general engineering principles and to allow investigation of a special field of interest for subsequent years of study. The Co-operative Education Program is available in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (Materials Option), and Mechanical Engineering (Automotive Option). See 8.0 for more information. While engineers must work within the technologies of the times, they are also responsible for the continual development of these technologies. The flexibility demanded of the engineer must be based upon proficiency in the physical sciences, and a confident ability to apply the sciences to the benefit of humankind. Therefore, our engineering programs are founded upon a substantial content of mathematics, physics, and chemistry; and our engineering subjects are taught with a view to familiarizing the students with contemporary practice, and teaching them those methods of analysis, design, and realization which they will be able to apply to a continually developing discipline. The aim of the engineer is to apply the latest science and technology for the betterment of society; engineers must, therefore, realize their duties to society and, as a prerequisite, appreciate how civilizations have developed to their present states. The independent responsibility that we wish to see in practicing engineers is impressed upon our students by emphasis on laboratory work, tutorials, projects, and assignments. Further, the student is assisted in individual studies by counselling and professional development seminars. These activities encourage a close and profitable student-professor relationship and facilitate the interchange of engineering information and experience to develop the professional maturity and integrity of the student. Academic Regulations Students are directed to become familiar and to comply with the general regulations of the University as described in 2.4 which apply to all students. Additionally, programs within the Faculty of Engineering have particular regulations. Students enrolled in Engineering programs also must comply with these particular requirements. Students also are directed to read the "Statement of Responsibility" on the inside front cover. COURSE CHANGES All course changes subsequent to registration require the written approval of the Associate Dean of the Faculty. COURSES NOT PART OF THE ENGINEERING PROGRAM A student may register for courses additional to those in the Engineering program only with the permission of the Head of the department in which the student is enrolled and the Associate Dean. CALCULATION OF AVERAGES 1) A student's academic evaluation is based on a cumulative average of grades weighted as follows: The weight of a one-term course is equal to the number of lecture hours per week, plus one-half the number of tutorial or laboratory hours per week. 2) All courses taken as part of the Engineering Program, including failed and repeated courses, and supplemental evaluations will be included in the calculation of the cumulative average. SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVILEGES The Academic Standing Committee may grant a supplemental evaluation privilege for a failed course provided that the student: (a) has failed only one course in the evaluation period; and (b) has a grade in the failed course of F; and (c) has a cumulative average of 5.0 or better. If a supplemental evaluation privilege is granted and the student decides to exercise this privilege, the student must register for the supplemental and pay the appropriate fee. Once a student has registered for a supplemental evaluation and the required evaluation method has been prescribed, the evaluation will occur at the time and place prescribed by the Faculty of Engineering. Failure to write after registering for the supplemental evaluation will result in a grade of F being assigned. Both the resulting grade and the original grade will be shown on the student's transcript and will be included in the determination of the student's cumulative average. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS In addition to complying with the general university regulations (see 2.4) an Engineering student must complete the program within eight years of study from the date of first registration in an Engineering program. Co-operative Education Program The Faculty of Engineering Co-operative Education Program offers students the opportunity to combine their classroom experiences with career-related work experiences. The Co-operative Education Program is based upon the principle that the preparation of undergraduate Engineering students can be enhanced by blending career related work experience with a quality curriculum. Admission to the Co-operative Education Program is competitive. Students who apply and are accepted into the Program must successfully complete three or four paid work experiences(85-198, 85-298, 85-398, or 85-498), interspersed throughout the four-year honours program, in addition to specified program requirements. The experience gained while participating in these structured and supervised work placements is viewed as an integral component of the student's education program. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Students who are granted admission to the Engineering program are offered the option of participating in the Co-operative Education (Co-op) Program at three different times as follow: 1) Applicants to the Engineering program who are offered admission to first-year with a mid-term average of eighty percent or higher will be sent an application to participate in the Co-op Program, along with their acceptance package. 2) All other students who are accepted to first-year of the Engineering program will be given an application to participate in the Co-op Program during their course in Professional Development in September. Criteria for participation will vary depending upon the academic achievement and the number of Co-op applicants. Decisions regarding participation in the Co-op Program will be finalized by the Co-operative Education and Career Services Office in the Winter term of the students' first year of study. Actual registration in the Co-op Program and fee assessment will not occur until students obtain their first work assignment in the Summer term after their first Fall and Winter terms of study. 3) During the summer before the second year of the Engineering program, all students who have completed their first year and have achieved the Engineering Co-op academic requirement of a cumulative average of 5.0 or better and no more than one failure are sent an application for admission to the Co-op program. Second-year applicants are evaluated on the basis of their first-year academic achievement, paid and volunteer work experience, a letter outlining the student's motivation for applying, two letters of reference, and an interview. Decisions regarding acceptance into the Co-op Program will be finalized by the Co-op Education and Career Services Office in September. Registration in the Co-op Program and fee assessment will also occur at this time. PLACEMENT The placement process is competitive. Co-op students will register and apply for work placement positions advertised by the Co-operative Education and Career Services Office using an Internet-Academic software program. Student application documents are forwarded to employers who select the students they wish to interview. After interviews take place, both the student and the employer will be involved in the ranking and matching process co-ordinated by the Co-op Office. The Faculty of Engineering or Co-op Education and Career Services do not guarantee placement, but every reasonable effort will be made to ensure that appropriate employment is made available.

The Co-op academic requirement is a cumulative average of 5.0 or better and no more than one outstanding failure. WORK TERM EVALUATION A student's performance in a Work Term will be evaluated as either "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory". To obtain a "satisfactory" evaluation, a student must successfully complete all the requirements of the Co-operative Program as described in the rules and regulations handout provided to all co-op students and available from the Co-operative Education Office. CO-OPERATIVE PROGRAM GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS In addition to the requirements for graduation from the regular B.A.Sc. program, students in the Co-operative Program must satisfactorily complete three work terms, including a final, Fall work term.
