BEng Program in Electrical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Option)

In addition to the Electrical Engineering Core, Specialization courses and electives, the Biomedical Engineering Option requires completion of an additional 6.5 units of courses as follows:

BIOL 225 Principles of Cell Biology
EPHE 141 Introductory Human Anatomy
ELEC 335 Biosensors and Instrumentation
PHYS 432 Medical Physics
Physics web course (0.5 unit) to provide necessary prerequisite for PHYS 432

Notes: - Students in this option must take BIOL 190A as their Science Elective and ELEC 435 as a Technical Elective.

- Students must apply to be accepted into this option normally during Term 1B.

- Admission to this option requires completion of Biology 11 and is subject to enrolment limitations.

- This option is offered subject to resources.

BEng Program in Electrical Engineering (Computer Music Option)

In addition to the Electrical Engineering Core, Specialization courses and electives, the Computer Music Option requires completion of the following courses:

MUS 306 Recording Techniques
MUS 307 Introduction to Computer Music
Plus a total of 3.0 units from the following list:
CSC 475 (1.5) Music Retrieval Techniques
ELEC 4844 (1.5) Audio Signal Processing
MUS 401C (1.5) Acoustics
MUS 406A (1.5) Advanced Sound Recording Techniques
MUS 406B (1.5) Sound Recording Seminar
MUS 4078 (3.0) Computer Music Seminar

BEng Program in Electrical Engineering (Information and Systems Security Option)

In addition to the BEng Core, Electrical Engineering Core, one of two specializations and electives, the Information and Systems Security Option requires completion of an additional 6.0 units of courses:

3 courses (4.5 units) as follows:
CSC 429 Cryptography
SENG 460 Practice of Information Security
SENG 461 Network Security
Plus one course (1.5 units) from the following list:
CENG 420 Artificial Intelligence
CENG 460 Computer Communication Networks
CENG 461 Design and Analysis of Computer Networks
CSC 463 Mobile Networks
CSC 466 Overlay and Peer-to-Peer Networking
ELEC 405 Error Control Coding and Sequences
ELEC 456 Mobile Communications
SENG 462 Distributed Systems and the Internet

Note: Courses used for BEng degree requirements cannot be counted for credit towards the Option.

BEng Program in Electrical Engineering (Mechatronics and Embedded Systems Option)

In addition to the Electrical Engineering Core, Specialization courses and electives, the Mechatronics and Embedded Systems Option requires completion of an additional 7.5 units of courses as follows:

a. ENGR 466 Integrated Mechatronics and Embedded Systems Project(3 units)
b. At least one from the following list of courses (1.5 units):
MECH 458 Mechatronics
SENG 440 Embedded Systems
c. Two courses (3 units) from the following list of courses where at least one has to be a 466 course:
ELEC 460 Control Theory and Systems II
ELEC 466 System-on-Chip Engineering for Signal Processing
MECH 466 Microelectromechanical Systems
MECH 458 Mechatronics
SENG 440 Embedded Systems
SENG 466 Software for Embedded and Mechatronics Systems

Notes: - Students in the MES option do not need to take ELEC 499 as part of their program. The ELEC 499 requirement is replaced by the requirement to take ENGR 466.

- EE students who wish to take SENG 466 as part of their MES option should note that there are 2nd and 3rd year level course prerequisites which are not part of the regular Electrical Engineering program.

- The units for MECH 458 and SENG 440 cannot be counted under both b and c.

Students are advised that because of limited resources, it may be necessary to limit the offering of this program.

Credit for one work term will be given to students completing this option due to the industrial exposure provided.

Students who complete all requirements of a BEng Program as well as all requirements of the Mechatronics and Embedded Systems option will receive their BEng degree in the appropriate specialization, and their transcripts will also bear the designation, “Mechatronics and Embedded Systems Option.”

All courses taken in the Mechatronics and Embedded Systems option will be included in the Faculty standing review of students in the BEng Program.
