AN OVERVIEW
Founded in 1873, the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering community includes more than 5,000 undergraduate and more than 1,900 graduate
students, about 230 professors, 290 staff and has more than 44,000 alumni. Our graduates have pursued careers in all engineering fields throughout
Canada and the world. They contribute towards resource industries, manufacturing, transportation, communications, as well as law, finance and health
care systems. SkuleTM alumni are employed by governments, in private enterprise, and throughout our educational system. Many have become leaders
in major corporations, businesses and develop new companies as technological entrepreneurs.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
The Faculty offers a wide range of undergraduate and post-graduate studies in engineering. Students will qualify for the Bachelor of Applied Science
degree (B.A.Sc.) in any one of the following programs:
Students enrolled in Engineering Science will qualify for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science (B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science) in one
of the following majors:
Curricula for all programs of study are set out in detail in Curriculum and Programs section of this calendar.
FACULTY STRUCTURE
Most of Engineering's undergraduate students' teaching is provided by 230 professors across the Faculty's five Departments and two Institutes: the
departments of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies and the Institute of Biomaterials and
Biomedical Engineering.
The Faculty is fortunate to be part of a great University that provides access to a vast range of resources. The departments of Computer Science,
The Engineering Alumni Association to which all graduates belong, supports the ongoing work of the Faculty, and, through representative membership
on the Faculty Council, participates in governance. The buildings of the Faculty are located primarily at the southern end of the University's St. George
Campus. The Faculty's decanal offices are located in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology, University of Toronto, 44 St. George Street.
Students seeking information about any aspect of study in the Faculty are encouraged to visit the Office of the Registrar, located in the Galbraith
Building, room 157, 35 St. George Street.
ENGINEERING SOCIETY
Every Engineering undergraduate is a member of the Engineering Society. Founded in 1885, the Society is the oldest formal Engineering organization in
Canada. Together with its constituent "course clubs" (one for each program), the Society plans and operates many student activities and services. It is
the focal point for the traditional SkuleTM spirit that exists among Engineering students; the envy of other groups in the University. This sense of spirit and
community continues throughout our graduates' professional careers. The Society operates the Engineering stores where students purchase most of
their school supplies and instruments; additionally, it deals with matters of policy relating to student academic affairs and has representation on Faculty
Council and its Standing Committees.
After completion of the BASc degree, and upon acceptance by the School of Graduate Studies, students can extend the topic of his or her coordinated
program thesis to a Masters thesis, which is normally under the supervision of the same thesis advisor. This program permits a significant reduction in
the time it would typically take a student to complete his or her Masters degree requirements.
A student who wishes to enrol in a coordinated program thesis should consult the Departmental Graduate Coordinators about the academic
requirements for the MASc or MEng degrees and obtain approval from his or her thesis topic from the BASc Thesis Coordinator. The Thesis Coordinator
will require assurance that the BASc thesis project provides a suitable preparation for the proposed MASc thesis or MEng project and that satisfactory
arrangements have been made for supervision of both the coordinated program thesis and the proposed Masters program.
The Faculty offers the following four degrees at the graduate level:
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.): professional degree in engineering with certificate options in ELITE (Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation, and
Technology in Engineering), EPP (Engineering and Public Policy) Robotics and Mechatronics, and Globalization
Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.): traditional, full-time, research-intensive master's degree
Master of Health Science in Clinical Engineering (M.H.Sc.): combines the fields of engineering, life sciences, medicine and clinical application
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.): highest degree in engineering
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons wishing to enrol as Special Students (not proceeding to a degree) should consult the Engineering Undergraduate Admissions Office at 416-978-
0120 regarding admission requirements and the procedure for application.
Fees must be paid by the first day of classes. Failure to pay by this date will result in the cancellation of registration.

BioZone is a centre for collaborative and interdisciplinary bioengineering research that brings together researchers, students and industry partners to
develop and deploy technically, socially and economically viable technologies. We work to find solutions to optimize the use of natural resources, reuse
waste material, remediate contaminated water and land, sustain robust and healthy ecosystems, curtail disease and offer renewable fuels and products
that foster the long-term sustainability our planet. Our mission is to advance and capitalize on the dramatic progress in biology that has been made in
recent years particularly in genome science and genome analysis tools while focusing on urgent societal needs in energy, environment and health.
BioZone arose from informal collaborations within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry and across the campus. It has grown
to include nine Faculty members, which includes their research groups and collaborators. Extensive renovations on the third and fourth floor of Wallberg
were recently completed; the changes add significant and enhanced research space and strength in areas of protein characterization, mass
spectrometry, enzymology, bioprocess engineering and biocatalysis.
The Centre for Advanced Coating Technologies (CACT) was established in 1998 as a collaborative effort by researchers from the departments of
mechanical engineering and materials science. The Centre now has over 35 researchers, including professors from both departments, research staff
members, post-doctoral fellows, visiting scientists and graduate students.
CACT conducts fundamental researchboth numerical and experimentalin the areas of thermal spray coating and plasma processing. CACT works
closely with industries, universities and research institutions. Research partners have included Pratt & Whitney Canada, Sulzer-Metco, Plasco Energy
Group, GE Global R&D, Questor Technology Inc. and leading universities in Canada, United States, Japan, France, Italy and Germany.
Coatings Technology
Components in aircraft, automobiles, power plants or chemical reactors are frequently exposed to severe heat, abrasion and corrosion. A thin layer of a
ceramic or super-alloy is often the best way to protect and extend the life of such components. Thermal spray technology is widely used as an efficient,
economical and environmentally-friendly method of applying metal or ceramic coatings.
Think of spray painting using molten metal or ceramic instead of paint! Thermal spray coatings are produced by introducing powders of wires into high
temperature, high velocity gas jets created using an electric arc or by burning a fuel. A spray of molten droplets are propelled towards the work-piece
where they impact the substrate and solidify to produce dense, fine-grained layers.
Thermal spray coatings technologies give much higher deposition rates than other chemical or physical vapour deposition techniques and create little or
no environmental problems. They can be used to coat components varying in size from a few millimeters to several meters.
At the core of the Center for Advanced Diffusion-Wave Technologies (CADIFT) are the unique diagnostic capabilities of diffusion waves, which include a
wide range of physical fields and phenomena: thermal, electronic, photonic and atmospheric to name a few.
CADIFT activities offer opportunities in interdisciplinary research that encompass physics, mathematics, engineering, instrumental implementation and
applications of novel laser-based analytical inspection and monitoring techniques, high-precision measurement methodologies, environmental sensor
development, analytical, non-destructive and spectroscopic methodologies, signal processing and measurement science and imaging techniques for
industrial and health sector applications. For a full description of current CADIFT research visit our website.
The Centre for Advanced Nanotechnology (CAN) is based on a multidisciplinary team of faculty and researchers from various departments including
Applied Science & Engineering, Arts and Sciences, and Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. CAN is Canadas first centre for nanotechnology
research, and it is closely tied to industry and other key nanotechnology research institutions throughout the world.
The main objectives of the Centre, which was established in 1997, include: advances in research in both theoretical and experimental methods for a new
generation of nanoelectronic and nanophotonic materials, structures and devices; the education and training of a new generation of highly-qualified
personnel for industry and academia; collaboration with other members of the academic and industrial community; and the establishment of specialized
resources and expertise in this expanding field for the scientific community and government.
The Centre for Global Engineering (CGEN) was created to identify the role of engineering in addressing some of the world's most complex problems. In
particular, CGEN is working to enhance the Faculty's global impact by working with undergraduate and graduate students; non-profit, non-governmental
and for-profit organizations; academic institutions and other partners to research appropriate and sustainable solutions for challenging problems in
international development and globalization.
The Centre's primary areas of focus are in the design of appropriate technologies to meet global needs, sustainable development, innovation diffusion
and knowledge translation. Creating innovations in the engineering curriculum to incorporate issues related to globalization is also a major component of
CGEN's work.
Interdisciplinary and collaborative in nature, the Centre for Management of Technology and Entrepreneurships researchers work to measure and
improve service industries with a focus on the financial service industry. To meet global competition, this industry needs to conduct research into
improvements in productivity, efficiency and effectiveness while developing new technology for the future. The way that technological change in the
environment, jobs, education, global competitiveness and society will be best served in the future is through entrepreneurship and innovation.
The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering has pioneered the institution of a teaching program for students who want to start businesses and
create wealth and employment for Canadiansthere are eight such courses now. The Centre operates research programs in management of
technology, innovation, productivity improvements and financial engineering. Founded in 1991, this initiative can now stake claim to over 220 completed
projects at all levels of complexity and intellectual challenge (BASc, MASc and PhD). The entrepreneurial development of studentsboth at
undergraduate and graduate levelsis a priority.
All of the Centres research projects involve industrial sponsors; the work has a significant practical component and could lead to direct benefits to
industry and Canadians. The Centre also carries out mathematical modelling and financial engineering research.
The Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) is a catalyst that facilitates interactions and collaborations to advance the development of cleaner and more
efficient energy in Canada. The motivation behind the Institute was the tremendous amount of research already underway throughout the University in a
wide variety of energy-related fields.
The ISE is open to students, faculty, industry and government members involved in increasing energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact
of energy use and conversion, whether through net technologies, policy work, computational sustainability, materials science or other routes.
The Institute is a focal point for energy research, collaboration, news and events. An increasingly important role for the unit is the coordination and
administration of funding initiatives and connecting researchers to Canadian energy companies.
The Centre for Maintenance Optimization and Reliability Engineering's (C-MORE) research is driven by close interactions with industryin particular,
with MORE consortium members and researchers at universities world-wide. Our focus is on real-world research in engineering asset management in
the areas of condition-based maintenance, spares management, failure-finding intervals for protective devices and whole-life costing. These strong
industry connections not only benefit the companies we work with, but also our graduate students. Since 2000 C-MORE, has offered an annual eight-
day certificate program in Physical Asset Management to reliability and maintenance professionals.
The University of Toronto houses Canadas flagship state of the art Intelligent Transportation Systems Centre and Testbed. ITS, a growing global
phenomenon, combines a broad range of diverse technologies which are applied to transportation to save lives, money and time. The range of
technologies involved includes micro-electronics, communications and computer informatics. Additionally, ITS cuts across disciplines such as
transportation engineering, telecommunications, computer science, financing, electronic and automobile manufacturing. The new face of the
transportation industry as shaped by ITS is no longer restricted to civil engineers nor is it restricted to a single department or agency. Instead, the ITS
field is multi-departmental, multi-agency and even multi-jurisdictional. Furthermore, the ITS market is rapidly expanding worldwide. Access to this market
is vital to the transportation and related technology sectors. In addition to direct transport benefits, a healthy ITS industry would also have other non-
traffic-related fringe societal benefits which include the stimulation of new information technology based industries and the creation of new markets and
jobs. ITS is more than just intelligent solutions on the road, but rather a new strategic direction for national and international economies. To train the next
generation of ITS professionals, the University of Toronto offers a comprehensive ITS Research and Development program which includes the ITS
Testbed. The Testbed is composed of a university-based R&D center equipped with state of the art capabilities for designing traffic analysis and
decision-support tools, and real-time communication links to sensors and control devices all over the physical Toronto transportation network via the two
major traffic operation centres in the Greater Toronto Area. The Testbed is designed to be a meeting ground for practitioners and researchers from the
public, academic and private sectors to research new approaches to transportation systems management, and to accelerate ITS deployment through
advanced technology research. The Testbed is the only such multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency, public-private intelligent transportation research facility in
Canada.
Biomedical engineering applies is an interdisciplinary field that integrates the principles of biology with those of engineering, physical sciences, and
mathematics in order to create solutions to problems in the medical/life sciences. Through its faculty (90+), staff and students, and through close
collaboration with the faculty of related departments, hospitals and other institutions, the Institute serves as the centre for both Direct Entry and
Collaborative Graduate Programs in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. An undergraduate degree in engineering is not a prerequisite
for admission into the MASc/PhD graduate program. The Institute also educates undergraduate-level engineering science and bio-minor students in
biomedical engineering. An active undergraduate summer student program offers both employment and a structured educational experience, within the
Institutes research laboratories.
Graduate students registered directly into the Institute, or in collaborating graduate departments, proceed towards M.A.Sc., M.Sc., M.H.Sc., or Ph.D.
degrees in engineering, dentistry, medicine, or the physical or life sciences, enabling careers in industry, government and universities. The Institute has
a Clinical Engineering concentration within its PhD program, which complements its 2 year M.H.Sc professional degree program in Clinical Engineering.
Graduates from the Clinical Engineering specialization programs normally find employment in health-care institutions or in the medical devices industry
both in Canada and internationally. The Institutes core laboratories are principally located in the Rosebrugh Building, the Lassonde Mining Building, the
Banting Building, and the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research on the St. George Campus however approximately 50% of our core
Faculty have laboratories located in other University Departments and the Hospitals. These laboratories serve as centres for development of
experimental and clinical techniques and instrumentation; real-time and interactive computer applications; innovative biomaterials; functional
replacements for biological tissues; and simulations for electrochemical and physiological models. Many faculty hold appointments in IBBME and in
Torontos hospital research institutes.
The Toronto Nanofabrication Centre (TNFC) is the University of Torontos main centre for micro- and nanofabrication. The Centre promotes collaborative

visibility of our researchers and our Faculty nationally and internationally. IRM also facilitates the commercialization of technology and the design of high-
caliber training programs focused on robotics and mechatronics at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
A strategic material produced from a renewable resource, paper is critical to our civilization. Paper has been of paramount importance in the
transmission and storage of information necessary to science and literature. It has also enabled the creation of modern business and industry. Even in
the modern world, paper, in partnership with electronic information systems, is essential. The Pulp & Paper Centre is an opportunity for the creation of
new science and technology to benefit the Canadian economy and to win the hearts and minds of students and faculty toin collaboration with industry
and governmentdo the job.
Wood pulp is raw material not only for paper, but for thousands of structural, absorbent and packaging products that are so completely embedded in our
lives that we often overlook them. Canada is one of the largest suppliers of pulp and newsprint and has a long tradition of scientific and technological
leadership. These factors make our country a major force in the pulp and paper world.
Since it was founded in 1987, the Centre has experienced exceptional expansion in student and faculty involvement and research support. In 2008-
2009, there were 60 graduate students, 16 undergraduate students, 27 faculty and 28 associated staff from several departments within and outside U of
T, and three operating industrial research consortia. Thirty-two companies from eight countries provided financial support to research projects in pulp
and paper processing, energy recovery systems and environmental research. The Centre has extensive student involvement at the graduate and
undergraduate levels and continues to enrich students educational experience through interesting and relevant research projects, seminar programs,
professional development programs and international exchanges and tours.

The awards are listed alphabetically in four sections: OSOTF Admission Scholarships/Awards and non-OSOTF Admission Scholarships (starting on
page 36), for students entering their first year in the Faculty, and OSOTF In-Course Scholarships/Awards and non-OSOTF In-Course Scholarships and
Grants (starting on page 49).
Approximately ten National Scholarships will be awarded in a given year. The National Scholarships will cover tuition and incidental fees for four years of
undergraduate study, residence support in first year and include an additional, renewable monetary award. The annual value of each student's
scholarship will be determined on the basis of individual financial circumstances.
Awards under the University of Toronto Scholars Program are not renewable. Outstanding students, however, may be eligible for consideration for
University of Toronto (in-course) Scholarships at the end of the first, second and third year of their programs. There are approximately 100 scholarships
at each level. These in-course awards are worth $1,500 and are tenable with other in-course scholarships.
Additional features may be offered by the admitting Faculty; these will be communicated explicitly in the letter of admission. Outstanding students are
considered automatically for these scholarships. The scholarship is tenable only in the Faculty that makes the offer. Payment of the award is conditional
on full-time registration at the University in the fall of the year the award is granted; retention of the higher year opportunities attached to the award
requires a students continuing full-time registration in good standing.
PART-TIME STUDIES
The Federal Government has established a loan and grant program for part-time students enrolled in course loads of less than sixty percent. Unlike
OSAP loans, the interest on part-time Canada Student Loans becomes repayable thirty days after the loan is received. Federal grants for educational
expenses are also available for high-need part-time students.
The Ontario Special Bursary Plan provides assistance to part-time students in receipt of social assistance. The bursary assists with direct educational
expenses such as tuition, books, transportation and babysitting.
Further information and application forms may be obtained from Enrolment Services.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
International students entering Canada or currently in Canada on student authorization are not eligible for government assistance and must ensure that
they have sufficient funds to cover all probable expenses. Such students cannot depend on gaining part-time employment in Canada to help their
studies.
ADMISSION SCHOLARSHIPS
Please see the "OSOTF" and "Non-OSOTF" Admission Scholarships sections later in this Chapter for details.
To be eligible for any scholarship or award granted solely on academic standing, a student must normally have completed not less than the normal full
load (approximately 5.0 credits units) within the two sessions upon which the award is based. A student whose program in these two sessions contains
repeated courses will only be eligible if the aggregate of new courses is equal to or greater than 5.0 credits.
Scholarships, medals and prizes based solely upon academic standing will be awarded only to students who have achieved honours in the work upon
which the award is granted, unless otherwise specified in the terms of award. If the award is based on a single course or on part of the work of the
session, the candidate must obtain unconditional pass standing in the work of the session, but not necessarily honours standing, unless the terms of the
award so specify.
A candidate will not be permitted to hold more than one award in a session unless the statute of each of the awards concerned or the Calendar specifies
otherwise.
Tuition and residence fees are a first charge against awards. After the deduction of the applicable charges, any balance remaining will be paid to the
recipient in November. Payment will be made only if the candidate is in regular attendance in the Faculty and, if the Calendar so specifies, in the course
in which the award is established or granted.
Awards granted to members of graduating classes, other than awards for graduate study and research, will be paid in one installment as soon as
possible after the granting of the awards.
The Governing Council may, on the recommendation of the Faculty, permit a candidate to whom an award has been granted to postpone attendance in
the Faculty for one year. Further postponement may be permitted on application.
Note: The value of an endowed scholarship or prize is dependent on the actual income of the fund; it is possible that the value of certain scholarships
and prizes at the time of payment may be greater or less than the amount stated in the Calendar.
In those cases where the amount of the award is not payable from income earned on an endowed fund, payment will be dependent on the receipt of the
amount of the annual award from the donor.
Lassonde Scholarships
(see listing later is in this Chapter)
The scholarships are awarded to students entering, full-time, the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering on the basis
of academic achievement and extra-curricular activities. Some awards may be renewable.
To qualify for the scholarship a candidate must achieve an average of at least 75% in the subjects prescribed for admission and must register in the
Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. The scholarship will not be awarded to a student who has spent more than five years in an Ontario
Secondary school or its equivalent unless evidence can be provided satisfactory to Council that this extended attendance was for reasons beyond the
students control.
Lisa's personality and qualities never failed to inspire and encourage individuals with whom she came into contact with. She excelled in a business
environment that is often difficult and challenging for female professionals and earned the respect of those she worked with around the world from
Korea, China and Japan, to Kenya, Ukraine, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. She chaired the Toronto Chapter of the Canadian Nuclear Society for two
years, committed to the promotion of nuclear energy and its benefits to society and the electrical industry.
Lisa promoted an athletic lifestyle while at Ontario Hydro, organizing the annual fun runs and multi-team participation at the YMCA Corporate Challenge.
Outside of work, she was an active member of the Ontario Association of Triathletes. She competed for many years and twice successfully completed
the Ironman Canada Triathlon, a gruelling endurance race consisting of a 2k swim, 180k bike ride and full marathon run.
This endowment fund, created through generous contributions from family, friends and colleagues, has a capital value of approximately $30,000. The
annual income will generate an award to be presented to a female student in third or fourth year of Mechanical Engineering. The recipient is chosen on

Toronto, and not the tuition fees of the host university. Applications for most programs are due each year between December and February, depending
on the program you choose. For more information please see the International Student Exchanges section in "Curriculums and Programs."

REPORT HOMOPHOBIA
www.sgdo.utoronto.ca/Report_Bullying.htm
The Report Homophobia program provides a way for you to report incidents and behaviour on campus motivated by intolerance and hatred toward
lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender and queer people. The program is run by the Office of LGBTQ Resources Programs and is specifically
designed for reporting hate incidents relating to sexual minority, sexual orientation, gender and sex.
The Sexual & Gender Diversity Office works with students, staff and faculty to provide programs, services, training resources and outreach on issues
related to the LGBTQ population at the University of Toronto. The Office develops initiatives and programming that support the lives of individuals at the
The Sexual Harassment Office handles complaints of harassment based on sex or sexual orientation at the University of Toronto. Sexual harassment is
unwanted sexual attention or unwanted emphasis on your sex or sexual orientation. It includes any unwelcome pressure for sexual favours, any
comments, gestures or other conduct which places an offensive focus on the sex or sexual orientation of another person, and any gender-based conduct
that is directed at you and that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or learning environment for you.
The Status of Women Office works toward full gender equity for women students, staff and faculty on all three campuses by developing relevant policies,
providing advice, identifying key issues to those in senior administration, organizing events and generally being an effective catalyst for change.
Administered by Woodsworth College and the Faculty of Arts & Science, the University of Torontos Summer Abroad program is designed to enrich
students academic lives by providing an exciting and educational international experience. Students complete a University of Toronto undergraduate
credit course that is relevant to the location in which the course is taught. The program takes place over 4 - 6 weeks in the summer. The courses offered
through the Summer Abroad program are typically all Arts & Science courses, but Engineering students are still welcome to apply and use the credit as
a possible elective.
As part of the University's commitment to ensure the rights of its individual members are protected, the University Ombudsperson investigates
complaints from any member of the University not handled through regular University channels. The Ombudsperson is independent of all administrative
structures of the University and is accountable only to Governing Council. In handling a complaint, the Ombudsperson has access to all relevant files
and information and to all appropriate University officials. All matters are in strict confidence, unless the individual involved approves otherwise. The
Ombudsperson offers advice and assistance and can recommend changes in academic or administrative procedures where this seems justified. For
additional information, please visit our website. The services of the Office are available by appointment at all three U of T campuses.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
ENGINEERING SOCIETY
www.skule.ca
Every undergraduate in the Faculty is a member of the Engineering Society. Founded in 1885, it is the oldest formal Engineering organization in
Canada. Together with its constituent course clubs (one for each program), the Society plans and operates many student activities and services. It is
the focal point for that traditional unity of spirit among Engineering students, which is the envy of other groups in the University and which continues
throughout its members professional careers. The Society operates the Engineering Stores in the basement of the Sandford Fleming building, which
supplies students with most of their school supplies and instruments. In addition, the Society deals with matters of policy relating to student academic
affairs and has representation on the Facultys governing body, the Council and its working committees.
All part-time undergraduate students on all three campuses of the University of Toronto are members of the Association of Part-time Undergraduate
Students. The mission of the Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students (APUS) is to ensure that part-time undergraduate students have access
to the full range of programs, services and resources at the University of Toronto in order to improve the quality of the part-time undergraduate
educational experience. APUS works to ensure that a variety of post-secondary educational opportunities are available for students who, for any reason,
choose to study part-time. APUS believes that education can be combined with work, family and other activities and that part-time study represents a
viable option for students who cannot study full-time. To this end, APUS promotes the concepts of life-long learning, evening, weekend and summer
study and flexible academic programming across the University. The objectives of APUS services are to improve the quality of the total educational
experience, in its broadest sense.
I. RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS
Students are responsible for making themselves familiar with the information in the Calendar. Remember: a minimum first installment or deferral of fees
must be paid before a student is considered registered. Please refer to the Fees and Expenses section of this Calendar.
Students are responsible for ensuring that their course enrolment is accurate and complete and that the courses in which they enrol meet the
requirements for graduation. Course prerequisites and any restrictions on enrolment should be noted carefully prior to registration. Whenever the
requirements are not understood, a student should consult their department's undergraduate counsellor/advisor or the Associate Chair of
Undergraduate Studies.
Students are required to attend the courses of instruction and the examinations in all subjects prescribed.
Students must conform to all lecture, tutorial and laboratory regulations.
Students shall comply with all due dates and manner of submission for all work submitted for credit in a course. Consequences for failure to comply
shall be specified and announced by the instructor. All session work must be submitted no later than the last day of lectures in the session as
published in this Calendar.
If a student is unable to complete any portion of their course work due to medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances, they should inform
the instructor by submitting a "Petition for Consideration in Course Work", with supporting documents (e.g., U of T Medical Certificate). Please refer to
"Section I - Petitions," in this chapter.
A student has the right to withdraw from a course or program without academic penalty before the published deadline (see "Sessional Dates" listing at
the beginning of the Calendar) with approval from their department's undergraduate counsellor/advisor. A student who does not complete the course
or write the final examination will receive final marks in the course consisting of the sum of their earned session marks with zero for the uncompleted
work and examination. These marks will be included in the calculation of session averages. A student who in any session withdraws from the Faculty
after the deadline to withdraw without academic penalty (as specified in the calendar) is deemed to have failed the session.
It is generally desirable for students to engage in extracurricular activities to a reasonable extent so that they do not become too narrowly academic in
interest and outlook but no academic credit can be given for such activities. Extracurricular activities require considerable time for the proper
performance of the duties connected with them. A student on probation, or with marginal academic records, should not undertake such activities.
Students will not be given any special consideration for conflicts resulting from such activities and are responsible for meeting the requirements of all
aspects of his or her academic work.
These regulations are designed to promote an atmosphere in which all students can pursue their academic programs, as well as discourage waste of
computer resources. Violators are subject to having all their U of T computer accounts closed down, and/or other disciplinary action under the provisions
of the University of Toronto Code of Student Conduct. Maintaining the integrity of the Faculty's computer facilities is everyone's responsibility. If you see
an individual using computer equipment anywhere in this Faculty in a manner that you believe to be inconsistent with the regulations, please record the
time, date, room number, workstation number (if in a facility with more than one terminal or computer) and the exact nature of the offence (description of
what is being displayed). Send the information to the Director, Engineering Computing Facility, Engineering Annex Room 206 or send an email to
office@ecf.utoronto.ca. The Director will then determine the identity of the user and the type of activity in which the user was engaged at the time it was
recorded.
The academic program consists of a consecutive sequence of sessions. There are three sessions per academic year:
- Fall Session (September - December) - Winter Session (January - April) - Summer Session (May - August)
With permission of the responsible division or department, courses may be taken in summer sessions. The evaluation period for the purpose of
promotion is the Fall Session or the Winter Session.
The notations 1F, 1W, 2F, 2W, etc., are used to represent the Fall Session and the Winter Session for the respective year of study.
2. Sessional Averages
The following course marks and grades relate to the performance of a student in the work of a particular course. A course grade or mark should not be
interpreted as an assessment of status within a program of studies since this is determined by the Promotional Regulations set out in Section III, IV and
V. In particular, please refer to Section III, Part 8 regarding credit for courses.
The equivalents of the Numerical Scale of Marks in the refined Letter Grade Scale and the Grade Point Value are as follows:
* The grade point values below apply to marks earned in individual courses; grade point averages are weighted sums of the grade points earned (see
below), and thus do not necessarily correspond exactly to the scale below. For example, a B+ average would include grade point averages from 3.20 to
3.40, while the lowest B- average would be 2.50.
90-100 A+ 4.0
85-89 A 4.0
80-84 A- 3.7
77-79 B+ 3.3
73-76 B 3.0
70-72 B- 2.7
67-69 C+ 2.3
63-66 C 2.0
60-62 C- 1.7
57-59 D+ 1.3
53-56 D 1.0
50-52 D- 0.7
0-49 F 0.0
Note: the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering does not promote students on the basis of the GPA but on the basis of the weighted sessional
average.
The Grade Point Average is the weighted sum of the grade points earned, divided by the number of courses in which grade points were earned.
Courses noted AEG are not included in the average, nor are transfer credits, courses taken elsewhere on a Letter of Permission, nor courses
designated as extra.
Three types of grade point averages are shown on the Official Student transcript:
The Sessional GPA (SGPA) is based on courses taken in a single session (Fall, Winter or Summer)
The Annual GPA (AGPA) is based on courses taken in the Fall-Winter Sessions
The Cumulative GPA (CGPA) takes into account all courses taken for degree credit in the Faculty
5. Non-grade Symbols
The following non-grade symbols may appear on grade reports and transcripts instead of course marks and /or equivalent letter grades. They have no
grade point or term sessional average values:
AEG - Aegrotat standing granted on the basis of session work and medical or similar evidence where the student was not able to write the final
examination in the course. AEG is assigned by a division upon approval of a student's petition. It carries credit for the course but is not considered for
averaging purposes.
CR/NCR Credit/No Credit. Used to report results for academic requirements such as practical experience, English proficiency, field camps, etc. The
grades CR and NCR have no numerical equivalence and are not included in the calculation of Sessional Averages.
DNW - Did not write/did not attend/did little work (when used as final course result, DNW is assigned by the instructor and must be changed to another
grade/symbol during the divisional grade review.
GWR - Grade withheld pending review under the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters.
IPR - (Course) in progress.
2015 University of Toronto - Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering 83
Academic Regulations
LWD - Permitted to withdraw from a course without academic penalty. Applies only to courses taken as humanities and social science electives,
complementary studies or free electives from the Faculty of Arts and Science (See VII, 8).
NGA - No grade available.
SDF - Standing deferred on the basis of incomplete course work because of medical or similar reasons (to be replaced by a regular mark before the
expiry of a specified extension period).
WDR - Granted privilege of late withdrawal without academic penalty from a course caused by circumstances beyond the students control.
The following non-grade statements may appear on grade reports and transcripts in conjunction with the course mark and letter grade:
Assessed - Indicates that an assessed mark has been granted through petition to the Committee on Examinations on the basis of session work and
medical or similar evidence.
EXT - Extra course - Not for degree credit; course has no effect on status or grade point average. Refer to section VII., 9. Promotion Regulations.
INC (incomplete) - Notwithstanding the mark obtained by a student in a course, the instructor may report the designation "incomplete" in addition to the
students final course mark, if:
a) a student has not made a reasonable attempt to complete major session assignments, projects laboratories, tutorials or the thesis, and
b) the instructor has made a reasonable effort to inform the student as early as possible in the session that an important part of the session work is
incomplete. If the instructors report is confirmed by the Committee on Examinations, the student will be required to clear the incomplete status to receive
credit for the course, although the original course mark will not be altered.
An incomplete status may be cleared by obtaining an evaluation of 50% or greater on the required course work which must be completed within a time
period specific by the professor but not later than the end of the next corresponding session. A student who does not clear an incomplete course
designation in the manner prescribed above will not receive credit for the course and the result will be treated as an F grade, i.e., Regulation IV-8
pertaining to the repeating or replacing of courses with F grades will apply.

DISCIPLINE
A) Academic
Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters
The Governing Council of the University of Toronto has approved a Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters, which applies to students and members of
the teaching staff of the University. The full text of the Code is available from the Office of the Registrar, however, excerpts are shown below for
convenience. Where ever in this Code an offence is describe as depending on knowing, the offence shall likewise be deemed to have been committed
if the person ought reasonably to have known.
Academic Offences
The University and its members have a responsibility to ensure that a climate that might encourage, or conditions that might enable cheating,
misrepresentation or unfairness not be tolerated. To this end, all must acknowledge that seeking credit or other advantages by fraud or
misrepresentation, or seeking to disadvantage others by disruptive behaviour is unacceptable, as is any dishonesty or unfairness in dealing with the
work or record of a student.
Parties to Offences
Every member is a party to an offence under this Code who knowingly:
i) actually commits it;
ii) does or omits to do anything for the purpose of aiding or assisting another member to commit the offence;
iii) does or omits to do anything for the purpose of aiding or assisting any other abets, counsels, procures or conspires with another member to commit
or be a party to an offence; or
v) abets, counsels, procures or conspires with any other person who, if that person were a member, would have committed or have been a party to the
offence.
Every party to an offence under this Code is liable upon admission of the commission thereof, or upon conviction, as the case may be, to the sanctions
applicable to that offence. Every member who, having an intent to commit an offence under this Code, does or omits to do anything for
the purpose of carrying out that intention (other than mere preparation to commit the offence) is guilty of an attempt to commit the offence and liable
upon conviction to the same sanctions as if he or she had committed the offence. When a group is found guilty of an offence under this Code, every
officer, director or agent of the group, being a member of the University, who directed, authorized or participated in the commission of the offence is a
party to and guilty of the offence and is liable upon conviction to the sanctions provided for the offence.
Procedures
Note: Where a student commits an offence, the Faculty in which the student is registered has responsibility over the student in the matter.
a) Where an instructor has reasonable grounds to believe that an academic offence has been committed by a student, the instructor shall so inform the
student immediately after learning of the act or conduct complained of, giving reasons, and invite the student to discuss the matter.
Nothing the student says in such a discussion may be used nor may be receivable in evidence against the student.
b) If after such discussion, the instructor is satisfied that no academic offence has been committed, he or she shall so inform the student and no further
action shall be taken in the matter by the instructor, unless fresh evidence comes to the attention of the instructor, in which case he or she
may again proceed in accordance with (a) above.
c) If after such discussion, the instructor believes that an academic offence has been committed by the student, or if the student fails or neglects to
respond to the invitation for discussion, the instructor shall make a report of the matter to the department chair or through the department chair
to the Dean.
d) When the Dean or the department chair, as the case may be, has been so informed, he or she shall notify the student in writing accordingly, provide
him or her with a copy of the Code and subsequently afford the student an opportunity for discussion of the matter. In the case of the Dean being
informed, the chair of the department and the instructor shall be invited by the Dean to be present at the meeting with the student. The Dean shall
conduct the interview.
e) Before proceeding with the meeting, the Dean shall inform the student that he or she is entitled to seek advice, or to be accompanied by counsel at
the meeting, before making, and is not obliged to make, any statement or admission, but shall warn that if he or she makes any statement of admission
in the meeting, it may be used or be receivable in evidence against the student in the hearing of any charge with respect to the offence or alleged
offence in question. The Dean shall also advise the student, without further comment or discussion, of the sanctions that may be imposed (see
Sanctions below) that the Dean is not obliged to impose a sanction but may instead request that the Provost lay a charge against the student. Where
such advice and warning have been given, the statements and admissions, if any, made in such a meeting may be used or received in evidence against
the student in any such hearing.
f) If the Dean, on the advice of the department chair and the instructor, or if the department chair on the advice of the instructor, subsequently decides
that no academic offence has been committed and that no further action in the matter is required, the student shall be so informed in writing and the
students work shall be accepted for normal evaluation or, if the student was prevented from withdrawing from the course by the withdrawal date, he or
she shall be allowed to do so. Thereafter, the matter shall not be introduced into evidence at a Tribunal hearing for another offence.
g) If the student admits the alleged offence, the Dean or the department chair may either impose the sanction(s) that he or she considers appropriate
(see Sanction below) or refer the matter to the Dean or Provost, as the case may be, and in either event shall inform the student in writing accordingly.
No further action in the matter shall be taken by the instructor, the department chair or the Dean if the Dean imposes a sanction.
h) If the student is dissatisfied with a sanction imposed by the department chair or the Dean, as the case may be, the student may refer the matter to the
Dean or Provost, as the case may be, for consideration.
i) If the student does not admit the alleged offence, the Dean may, after consultation with the instructor and the department chair, request that the
Divisional Sanctions
1. In an assignment worth 10% or less of the final grade, the department chair may handle the matter if:
i) the student admits guilt; and
ii) the assignment of a penalty is limited to at most a mark of zero for the piece of work.
If the student does not admit guilt, or if the department chair chooses, the matter shall be brought before the Dean.
2. One or more of the following sanctions may be imposed by the Dean where a student admits to the commission of an offence:
a) an oral and/or written reprimand;
b) an oral and/or written reprimand and, with the permission of the instructor, the resubmission of the piece of academic work, in respect of which the
offence was committed, for evaluation. Such a sanction shall be imposed only for minor offences and where the student has committed no previous
offence;
c) assignment of a grade of zero or a failure for the piece of academic work in respect of which the offence was committed;
d) assignment of a penalty in the form of a reduction of the final grade in the course in respect of which the offence was committed;
e) denial of privileges to use any facility of the University, including library and computer facilities;
f) a monetary fine to cover the costs of replacing damaged property or misused supplies in respect of which the offence was committed;
g) assignment of a grade of zero or a failure for the course in respect of which the offence was committed;
h) suspension from attendance in a course or courses, a program, an academic division or unit, or the University for a period of not more than twelve
months. Where a student has not completed a course or courses in respect of which an offence has not been committed, withdrawal from
the course or courses without academic penalty shall be allowed.
3. The Dean shall have the power to record any sanction imposed on the students academic record and transcript for such length of time as he or she
considers appropriate. However, the sanctions of suspension or a notation specifying academic misconduct as the reason for a grade of
zero for a course shall normally be recorded for a period of five years.
4. The Provost shall, from time to time, indicate appropriate sanctions for certain offences. These guidelines shall be sent for information to the
Academic Board and attached to the Code as Appendix C.
Tribunal Sanctions
1. One or more of the following sanctions may be imposed by the Tribunal upon the conviction of any student:
a) an oral and/or written reprimand;
b) an oral and/or written reprimand and, with the permission of the instructor, the resubmission of the piece of academic work, in respect of which the
offence was committed, for evaluation. Such a sanction shall be imposed only for minor offences and where the student has committed no
previous offence;
c) assignment of a grade of zero or a failure for the piece of academic work in respect of which the offence was committed;
d) assignment of a penalty in the form of a reduction of the final grade in the course in respect of which the offence was committed;
e) denial of privileges to use any facility of the University, including library and computer facilities;
f) a monetary fine to cover the costs of replacing damaged property or misused supplies in respect of which the offence was committed;
g) assignment of a grade of zero or a failure for any completed or uncompleted course or courses in respect of which any offence was committed;
h) suspension from attendance in a course or courses, a program, an academic division or unit, or the University for such a period of time up to five
years as may be determined by the Tribunal. Where a student has not completed a course or courses in respect of which an offence has not been
committed, withdrawal from the course or courses without academic penalty shall be allowed;
i) recommendation of expulsion from the University. The Tribunal has power only to recommend that such a penalty be imposed. In any such case, the
recommendation shall be made by the Tribunal to the President for a recommendation by him or her to the Governing Council. Expulsion shall mean that
www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/behaveac.htm
The normal full academic load is 2.50 credits per session. Students in second or higher years may, in exceptional cases, increase their academic load to
a maximum of 3.00 credits. Full-time students may take a CS or HSS elective course in any term starting in the summer after their initial registration, and
subject to the rule above.
Part-time students may take a CS or HSS elective course in any term. Students taking a full-year core course will not be allowed to drop this course in
the Winter Session. A full-time student may reduce their academic load below the full academic load by 0.50 credits by dropping a CS, HSS or
technical/free elective course if it is possible to take the same or a replacement course in a summer or subsequent session. It is recommended that a
student consult their undergraduate counsellor/advisor for advice on how this may impact their ability to complete their degree requirements within the
expected period of time.
Reducing the academic load to less than a full load as defined by a students year and program of study will make the student ineligible for certain
scholarships and Deans Honours list. Full-time students with reduced course loads are still required to pay the full-time program fee, and will not be
entitled to any tuition fee refunds.
A full undergraduate program consists of eight Fall and Winter Sessions taken in order. To gain credit for a session a student must:
a) satisfy the academic regulations to proceed to the succeeding session as described herein, and
b) not be subsequently required to repeat the session for which credit is to be gained, and
c) not have any outstanding designations of "standing deferred," "incomplete," "No Grade Available," or GWR (Grade Withheld pending Review under
Code of Conduct on Academic Matters) for any course in any session (see Regulations I-5 and I-7).
2. Final Session
To be eligible to graduate, a student must attain a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater in their final session. Any student who does not achieve
a weighted Session Average of 60% in their final session (4W), but has attained a weighted Session Average that allows them to proceed to the next
session on probation, shall repeat the final session and achieve a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater to graduate.
An academic standing of Proceeding on Probation, or On Repeat Probation will be removed and changed to Pass (or Honours if applicable) at the
conclusion of the final session during which all requirements for graduation are satisfied.
Proceeding On Probation: A student is placed on Probation the first time the Session Average is between 55% to 60%. Probation is a warning that
academic performance is not satisfactory.
On Repeat Probation: A student placed on Repeat Probation must withdraw from the Faculty for a prescribed period of time in accordance to the
promotion regulations. A second instance of Repeat Probation will result in refusal of further registration in the Faculty.
2. Honours Standing:
a) i) In sessions 1F, 1W, 2F, 2W and 3F or 3W, Honours standing in the work of session is granted to students carrying a full academic load (2.50
credits per session), if the session is not being repeated and if the weighted Session Average is 80% or greater. Note that extra (EXT) courses are not
included in the academic load.
ii) During fourth year, a student may reduce their course load in either 4F or 4W (but not both) and be eligible for Honours Standing if the session is not
being repeated and if the weighted Session Average is 80% or greater.
b) i) To obtain Honours upon graduation a full-time student must achieve a cumulative average across years 2, 3 and 4 of between 79.5% and 87.49%
and a weighted sessional fourth year average of 74.5% or higher, excluding any required first year courses, repeated courses and courses marked as
"Extra."
ii) To obtain High Honours upon graduation, a full-time student must achieve a cumulative average across years 2, 3 and 4 of 87.5% or higher, and a
weighted sessional fourth-year average of 82.5% or higher, excluding any required first year courses, repeated courses or courses marked as "Extra."
1. Removing Probation:
A full-time student who has two successive sessions (excluding summer sessions) with a weighted Session Average of 70% or greater, none of which is
a repeated session, will have their status improved by one step. For example: a student who has an academic status of Repeat Probation after two
successive full-time sessions with a weighted Session Average of 70% or better will have a new academic status of Proceeding On Probation.
Therefore, a student who is on Repeat Probation and who is entering third year can improve their status to Clear by graduation (four successive full-
time sessions with a weighted Session Average of 70% or greater). Note full time session means four or more courses.
An academic standing of Proceeding on Probation, or On Repeat Probation will be removed and changed to Pass (or Honours if applicable) at the
conclusion of the final session during which all requirements for graduation are satisfied.
2. Required Withdrawal:
A student who has failed a session is required to withdraw and must discontinue their studies as soon as grades are made official This applies whether
or not the student is enrolled in courses that continue in the following session. In all cases where a full year course is dropped, the student will not
receive credit for any work already done in the course. A student who is required to withdraw after a Fall Session will be withdrawn by the Registrars
Office and will receive a refund for the Winter Session. A student who wishes to withdraw voluntarily must complete a withdrawal form at the Registrars
Office. A student who is required to withdraw after a Winter Session need not complete a withdrawal form.
3. Repetition of a Session:
A student is not permitted to repeat the same session more than once. Thus, any student who would otherwise be required to repeat a session more
than once is given the status "Failed - will not be considered for re-admission." In permitting a student to proceed to the next session, it is assumed by
the Faculty that the student has both the ability and necessary background to obtain a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater.
a) In a repeated session, no credit is retained for courses previously taken in which a mark of less than 70% was achieved. Courses in which a mark of
70% or greater has been achieved need not be repeated. A student who is repeating a session may choose elective courses different from those he or
she chose on the previous attempt.
b) A first year student may not improve his or her academic standing by voluntarily repeating a session, for example; if a student is on academic
probation and the promotional standing of the student will not be improved by the results of the voluntarily repeated session if his or her weighted
Session Average for the session is 60% or greater.
The deadline for requesting any credit course be changed to an extra course is the same as that for dropping a course. The deadline for requesting an
extra course be changed to a credit course (if applicable) is the same as that for adding a course.
Session Average
* A student who is part-time or has more than three course marks below 50% will be required to withdraw and is eligible to return to repeat 1F in a
subsequent session on probation

IX. TRANSFERS
1. Transfer within the Faculty
A student may apply to transfer from one program to another within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Students must submit an online
"Request to Transfer" application available via the Registrars Office website. Program transfers at the completion of first year will not normally involve
any additional courses to remedy deficiencies.
ii) Students who wish to transfer between the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering programs will be allowed to do so if admitted directly to the first-
year Fall Session of the Mechanical or Industrial Engineering program.
iii) Students not in category (ii) above will be allowed to transfer if places are available.
7. Re-Checking of Marks
Within the period ending February 15 or October 15 (whichever comes first), following the session in which the course was taken, a student may have
the final mark in any course listed in the Faculty Calendar re-checked by submitting an online request and making payment of $13 (by credit card or
cash) for each course to be re-checked.
The instructor will review the students examination paper (if a final examination was held in the course) to ensure that all questions were properly
marked in accordance with the marking procedure used for the entire class, that the addition of marks was correct, that the session marks were correctly
compiled, and that the clerical operations involved in the computation and reporting of the final mark were correct. Mark adjustments based upon lenient
reconsideration of the students work will not be made. If an adjustment is required it may be positive or negative.
If the instructor finds an error which results in any change in the students final mark, the fee for re-checking the mark will be refunded.
2. After the final date to add or substitute courses, the composition of the final mark in a course cannot be changed without the consent of a simple
majority of students attending the class, provided the vote is announced no later than in the previous class. Any changes must be reported to the
Committee on Examinations. The only exception to this is in the case of the declaration of a disruption.
4. a) All written session work must normally be returned to students after evaluation with what the instructor considers to be appropriate commentary. At
least one piece of session work worth at least 10% of a students performance, whether lab report, assignment, essay, etc., shall be returned to the
student prior to the last day for withdrawal from the course without academic penalty.
b) After evaluating and returning items of session work, the instructor or the teaching assistant(s) shall be available as appropriate to meet with each
student who wishes to discuss the work and/or the commentary offered.
c) Final examination papers are not returned to students. The instructor shall deliver the marked examination papers in alphabetical order to the Office
of the Registrar for storage. The papers will be stored until February 15 or October 15 (whichever comes first) following the session in which the course
was offered, after which they will be destroyed.
5. The following rules and guidelines apply to the evaluation of student performance in all courses offered within the Faculty. Where appropriate,
however, an instructor may apply to the Committee on Examinations for permission to deviate from the rules.
a) The composition of final marks may be based upon
i) a final examination
ii) independent term work performed under supervision, i.e., session tests or any other work which, in the judgment of the instructor, is a reliable
measure of the performance of the student evaluated, and;
iii) session work not closely supervised;
b) The dates of session tests should be announced in advance. Unannounced session tests, if used, should not count for more than a minor fraction of
the total mark for independent session work, and the value of this fraction should be specified early in the session when the details of the composition of
the final course mark are announced in class.
Type A Papers for which no data are permitted other than the information printed on the examination paper.
Type B Papers for which separate special aids or data, as specified at the top of the examination paper, are provided by the examiner for distribution
to the candidates by the Registrar of the Faculty.
Type C Papers for which the candidate may prepare, bring to the examination and use, a single aid sheet, such aid sheet being on a standard form
supplied to the examiner by the Registrar of the Faculty. Students may enter on both sides of the aid sheet any information they desire, without
restriction, except that nothing may be affixed or appended to it.
Type D Papers for which the candidate may bring to the examination and use such aids (in the form of printed or written material) as the examiner
may specify. The nature of the permitted aids must be clearly specified at the top of the examination paper, and must be announced to the class by the
examiner in advance of the examination.
Type X Papers for which the candidate may bring to the examination and use, any books, notes or other printed or written material, without restriction.
j) Any variation from the normal Faculty examination procedures (e.g. take-home examinations, pre-distribution of examination questions, zero-weight,
low-weight, or no examinations in lecture courses, oral examinations, confidential examinations, multiple examinations in multi-section courses,
examinations which are not of the standard 2.50-hour duration) requires on an annual basis the prior approval of the Committee on Examinations.
Requests for approval of special examination arrangements should be made as early as possible in the session, and announcement to the class may
not be made until the approval of the Committee on Examinations is obtained.
k) Normally multiple-choice questions are not used in final examinations conducted in the Faculty. In any event the Committee on Examinations must
give its prior approval if the value of multiple choice questions exceed 25% of the total marks for any examination.
l) Group Evaluation
(i) In situations where a students performance is evaluated by a student peer group, the results of such evaluation shall not constitute more than 25%
of the final course mark.
(ii) In courses in which group work or group assignments are performed, the proportion of a students final mark derived from undiscriminated
evaluation of such group work or submission shall not exceed 25%, unless the Committee on Examinations has granted approval for a higher weighting
of the undiscriminated group component. When such approval has been granted it shall remain in force so long as there is no change in the
circumstances on which the original application was based or until the instructor requests approval for the arrangements.
m) Under no circumstances will students be permitted to evaluate their own work for credit in a course.
6. Instructors are responsible for the grading of the final exam and are expected to exercise their best judgment in assessing answers to examination
questions and in determining final course marks. Any assessment of the performance of students is not to be based on any system of quotas or
predetermined arbitrary limits.
7. a) Instructors shall submit their final course marks to the Committee on Examinations via the Registrar of the Faculty in conformity with a prescribed
deadline.
b) The Chair of each department or division of the Faculty may elect to appoint a departmental marks review committee, to review results in courses
offered by the department. If such a marks review procedure is carried out, instructors, after having submitting their marks to the Registrar of the Faculty,
shall also report their results to the departmental committee. The departmental marks review committees are not authorized to make recommendations
directly to instructors but may make recommendations to the Facultys Committee on Examinations.
c) A students final course mark is unofficial until approved by the Committee on Examinations.
The full text of the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy is available at the following link:
www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/Assets/Governing+Council+Digital+Assets/Policies/PDF/grading.pdf
Students may petition with respect to the applicability to them of any academic regulation of the Faculty. These petitions must show the grounds on
which they believe that the regulation should be waived or altered. Students should consult their undergraduate counsellor/advisor before submitting
such petitions through the Engineering Portal website. Petitions requesting the alteration of marks or promotional regulations will not be considered.
II. Appeals
1. A student wishing to appeal a decision with respect to any petition should submit an appeal in written form to the Faculty Academic Appeal Board
via the Registrars Office. Appeals to the Faculty Academic Appeals Board must be made within thirty days of the date of notification of a petition
decision from a standing Committee of Council. The Faculty Academic Appeal Board Chair will appoint a hearing panel which will consist of at least
three members of the Board of whom at least one shall be a student member. Normally, the Chair of the Academic Appeals Board acts as the Chair of
the hearing panel. Hearings will be called by the Chair as required, but not later than ninety business days after the submission of the appeal. Both
parties to the appeal are entitled to present throughout the hearing, to make opening statements, call evidence and make closing submissions. After
hearing the appeal, the hearing panel may dismiss the appeal, allow the appeal and render the decision that it believes should have been made, or remit
the matter back to the decision-maker for consideration. The decision of the Faculty Academic Appeals Board is considered the final decision of the
Faculty.
2. A student wishing to appeal against a final decision of the Faculty may appeal to the Governing Council of the University. In that event, the student
should consult the Director, Appeals, Discipline and Faculty Grievances, Office of the Governing Council, about the preparation and submission of the
appeal. Appeals to the Governing Council must be made within ninety days of the date of notification of the final decision of the Faculty.
As part of the Universitys commitment to ensuring that the rights of its individual members are protected, the University Ombudsperson investigates
complaints from any member of the University not handled through regular University channels. The Ombudsperson offers advice and assistance and
can recommend changes in academic or administrative procedures where this seems justified. In handling a complaint, the Ombudsperson has access
to all relevant files and information and to all appropriate University Officials. The Ombudsperson handles all matters in strict confidence, unless the
individual involved approves otherwise. The Ombudsperson is independent of all administrative structures of the University and is accountable only to
Governing Council.
All programs listed in this Calendar are accredited and evaluated regularly by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian
Council of Professional Engineers; therefore, graduation from the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering may lead to registration as a Professional
Engineer in the provincial Associations of Professional Engineers, in accordance with their individual policies.
No student will be permitted to graduate who does not meet these requirements as this would jeopardize accreditation for the program.
Detailed information about the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers can be found at www.ccpe.ca.
The curricula, regulations and course information contained in this Calendar are valid for the current academic year only and so, over the course of a
students attendance in the Faculty, curricula, regulations and course information may change. All such changes will be posted on the Undergraduate
Engineering website.
The Faculty reserves the right to withdraw any course for which there is insufficient enrolment or resources and to limit the enrolment in any course.
Weight Factor
Weight Factors are associated with every course and are intended to help students determine the relative weight of every course, in terms of time spent
in class. Most courses in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering are weighted 0.5, but some (full-year courses) are weighted at 1.0 and others
(quarter courses) are weighted at 0.25. Weight factors for courses outside of the Faculty may vary.
Weight factors are used to calculate what is referred to as the "weighted session average" used in promotions. A regular program normally consists of
five courses per session with a total weight of 2.5 credits; with prior approval of the Chair of their Department, full-time students may elect to increase
their loads to a maximum of 3.0 credits per session.
To be eligible for any scholarship or award granted solely on academic standing, a student must have completed not less than the normal full load (2.5
credits per term) within the two sessions upon which the award is based. A student whose program in these two sessions contains repeated courses will
only be eligible if the aggregate of new courses is equal to or greater than 2.5 credits per term.
COURSE DEFINITIONS
Core Course
A core course is defined as any course in a program of study that is expressly required by a department or division in order to fulfill degree requirements.
Electives
Elective courses fall into three categories: technical, free and complementary studieses. In general, students must not select elective courses that would
involve excessive duplication of material covered elsewhere in their programs. As the promotion of engineering students is based on weighted session
averages, honours/pass/fail or credit/no-credit courses may not be taken as electives.
Technical Electives
Each program has a selection of technical electives carefully designed to enhance students technical knowledge in specific areas. Details regarding
technical electives can be found under each program listing.
Free Electives
Some programs require students to take a free elective. A free elective has few restrictions: any degree credit course listed in the current calendars of
the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, the Faculty of Arts and Science and the School of Graduate Studies is acceptable as a free elective
provided it does not duplicate material covered in courses taken or to be taken.
Complementary Studies
All students are required to take Complementary Studies electives at some point during their program.
Complementary studies is broadly defined as studies in humanities, social sciences, arts, management, engineering economics and communication that
complement the technical content in the curriculum. Language courses may be included within complementary studies provided they are not taken to
fulfill an admission requirement.
Within this context of complementary studies, the Faculty is aware of the heavy responsibility that lies on the shoulders of engineers in our modern
technological society, and it strives to educate engineers with a strong sense of responsibility to others. The Faculty requires students build a firm
foundation of engineering ethics, familiarity with their heritage and history and sensitivity to the social context in which they function. To this end, in
addition to developing competence in appropriate aspects of mathematics, the physical sciences and design, aspiring engineers must acquire an
understanding of the humane aspects of engineering.
Some areas of study under the heading of complementary studies are considered to be essential in the education of an engineer, namely these four
elements (described in more detail below):
1. Introduction to the methodologies and thought process of the humanities and social sciences
2. Basic knowledge of engineering economics
3. Competence in oral and written communications,
4. Awareness of the impact of technology on society
Some of these elements have been incorporated into the set curriculum for each program; others are introduced through the selection of Humanities and
Social Science (HSS) and Complementary Studies (CS) electives. We urge students to plan their complementary studies electives in accordance with
their career aspirations; however, to ensure eligibility for registration as a professional engineer, HSS/CS electives must fit set definitions as outlined
below. Please note that HSS electives are a sub-set of CS electives, so while all HSS electives can count towards CS requirements, not all CS electives
can be considered HSS electives. A listing of appropriate HSS and CS electives can be found on the Engineering website, at: uoft.me/electives.
The HSS courses that are available to students are listed online at uoft.me/hss,
Students seeking a broader choice in their Humanities and Social Sciences electives can obtain more information about appropriate courses and
enrolment procedures from the Faculty Registrars Office or their departmental office. Enrolment may involve submission of a ballot or consultation with
the offering department.
2. Engineering Economics
Each program includes at least one required course on engineering economics. These courses provide an opportunity for students to become familiar
with the basic tools used to assess the economic viability of proposed engineering projects. The program-required courses are CHE249H1 F,
CME368H1 S, MIE258H1 F, ECE472H1 F/S and CHE374H1 F.
Letters of Permission
A Letter of Permission is required for engineering students seeking to take a course from another university. The Letter of Permission will outline the
course(s) the student has permission to take, the transfer credit(s) that can be granted and how they will be applied to the degree (as extra credit,
technical elective, HSS/CS, etc).
Students may request any course from a recognized Canadian university, or from an international university that the University of Toronto has an
exchange agreement with. Students who wish to take a course from an institution not listed in one of these two categories should note that the course
To receive credit for completing a course on Letter of Permission, the student must achieve at least one full letter grade above a pass at the host
institution, or 60% using the University of Toronto grading scale.
The Letter of Permission request form can be found at the Engineering Undergraduate Admissions Office, located within the Galbraith building at 35 St.
George Street (room 153). This form must be submitted with a copy of the official course description from the host institutions academic calendar. A
non-refundable processing fee of $30 per letter of permission will be charged.
Please note that a Letter of Permission does not apply to courses taken while participating in an official International Exchange.
This experience may be obtained at any time during the program or through the Engineering Summer Internship Program (eSIP) or Professional
Experience Year (PEY) Program, but work done before entering the Faculty may also meet the requirement. Participation in the Professional Experience
Year or the Engineering Summer Internship Program automatically satisfies the practical experience requirement, provided that students complete and
submit the requisite reports.
Practical experience certificate forms may be obtained from the Registrars website and shall be signed by the employer or supervisor. Students should
return completed forms to their departmental counsellors office. The satisfaction or non-satisfaction of this requirement for graduation will be indicated
on the students grade report in the fourth year winter session as a grade of CR (Credit) or NCR (No Credit).
The Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) may allow pre-graduation experience to count towards 12 months of the four-year engineering
experience required for eligibility for the P.Eng. designation. For further information visit the PEO web site www.peo.on.ca. Please note that the records
required by the PEO are separate and distinct from the 600 hours practical experience required for completion of a degree program in the Faculty of
Applied Science and Engineering.
Students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical experience before graduation (normally during their summer
vacation periods). Students registered within this program, may elect to enrol and participate in the Engineering Summer Internship Program (eSIP) and
the Professional Experience Year (PEY) program. The eSIP program is a paid 4-month summer program open to qualified students and serves as an
introductory career development program to the PEY. The PEY program requires that qualified students undertake a paid, full-time 12 - 16 month
continuous work period with a participating company.
engineeringcareers.utoronto.ca/students/undergraduate-internship/esip/
The Engineering Summer Internship Program (eSIP) is a paid summer co-op program offered through the Engineering Career Centre. It is available to
eligible engineering students in year two or three of study, including engineering international students. eSIP is more akin to a traditional co-op
placement, where students work for four months and thus serves as an introductory career development program for participants. Through formalized
and interactive workshops and individual counseling appointments, students are introduced to concepts and tools to prepare them for the
workplace. The majority of applicants are in their year two of study, for which eSIP holds particular value in preparing students to be competitive for
future opportunities, such as the intensive model of the PEY internship.
The Professional Experience Year (PEY) Internship Program offered through the Engineering Career Centre (ECC) allows students to apply their
engineering knowledge to a 12 - 16 month project-based professional internship. The length of the internship offers students sufficient time to become
involved in large-scale projects, build relationships with employers and reach professional milestones. Students who elect to participate in this optional
program make industry contacts, gain valuable career skills and significant professional experience prior to graduation.
The PEY internship program is more than 30-years old and has earned an outstanding reputation in both academic and industry circles. The program
offers students an exceptional education, a range of engineering related career paths to choose from and strong, established industry partnerships. It
also provides a strong practical foundation for individuals interested in completing graduate studies.
Students from a wide range of faculties and departments Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Toxicology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry,
Commerce, and other Arts & Science programs participate in PEY. Students register for the program in their second or third year of study and
complete their internship during the following academic year. Over 800 students are in placements at over 300 companies for the current PEY 2013-
2014 internship year. Some of our past out-of-province and international placement locations include Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland, Belgium,
Chile, India, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland, United States, China, Hong Kong, Finland, Singapore, UK and Indonesia. The average internship salary for
2013 - 2014 was $45,000.
The Engineering Communication Programs mission is to help students recognize the role of communication in effective engineering. We create
practices, programs and partnerships that enable students to become more confident and effective communicators, and thus, better engineers. We
collaborate with students, faculty and industry to develop discipline-specific communication instruction that is integrated into the engineering curriculum
and delivered through the Programs own credit and non-credit courses. The Engineering Communication Program also offers students a one-to-one (or
one-to-team) tutoring service to help develop ideas and improve communication skills.
The program genesis dates back to the mid-1990s and clearly followed from the wide recognition that engineering and management provide an
important combination of skills and understanding. The method to address this recognized need having a combined program between the two
cognizant faculties (the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and the Rotman School of Management) is a well understood strategic goal, in
particular given the highly competitive employment environment that pervades the market.
Following an extensive review of the Skoll Program, a number of enhancements have been implemented to improve the overall student experience,
provide stronger student services, and allow students to maintain a connection to each faculty as they complete their studies.
PART-TIME STUDIES
First-year Students
First-year students who are registered on a full-time basis may request to transfer to part-time studies by the deadline indicated under the Fall Sessional
Dates. Permission to make this transfer must be obtained from either the Chair, First Year or the Faculty Registrar. Transfers from part-time to full-time
studies will normally be permitted only after completion of an entire program year (usually 10 courses).
Upper-year Students
Students who have completed first, second or third year as full-time students may apply to transfer to part-time studies by submitting a transfer form by
the deadline indicated under the Winter Sessional Dates.
The selection of courses must satisfy the prerequisite and co-requisite structure specified in the course descriptions.
Students admitted with advanced standing who require the equivalent of at least 18 one-session courses to complete the requirements for a degree may
register in a part-time program subject to the same conditions as other students. Students who require the equivalent of fewer than 18 one-session
courses must attend on a full-time basis.
Promotion Regulations
Part-time students are governed by the promotion regulations described in Chapter 6.
Degree Requirements
To qualify for a degree, a student must complete a full undergraduate program within nine calendar years of first registration, exclusive of mandatory
absences from their program.
Exchange programs operate under formal agreements between the University of Toronto and partner universities abroad and in Canada. University of
Toronto students who participate in exchange programs will pay full-time tuition and compulsory incidental fees to the University of Toronto. Students
can then study at one of the University of Torontos partner universities without paying tuition fees to the host university.
Please note that many of the universities in countries where English is not the host countrys official language still offer many, if not all, courses in
English. Notable examples include universities in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sweden.
Applications deadlines occur between December and February each year, depending on your program of choice.
EXCHANGE PATHWAYS
When considering going on exchange, one of the first decisions you will have to make is about the type of exchange pathway you will follow. As an
Applied Science and Engineering student, you have two pathways to choose between the structured exchange pathway or the traditional non-
structured exchange pathway.
The structured exchange pathway is pre-arranged between your department and the host institution. You will still have some choice in selecting your
courses, but you will be doing so from a pre-approved course list. This option requires less academic planning on your part and simplifies the transfer
credit process.
The traditional non-structured exchange pathway is one that you arrange yourself at any of CIEs partner institutions. In choosing this option, you are
able to design the exchange that is right for you. This option requires additional planning and discussion with your department to reduce the academic
risk in terms of transfer credits. Many students follow non-structured exchange pathways to pursue minors in Arts & Science disciplines. See "Self-
Initiated Minors" for more details.
CIE also offers two- to four-month international summer research opportunities for qualified students.
Funding is available on a needs basis for international opportunities. Select partner institutions offer guaranteed bursaries to students. Additional
information is available through the CIE office. Detailed information about the exchange pathways can be found online.

Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, engineers have been amongst the most successful entrepreneurs, and this is especially true in todays
global economy. The enormous growth of the e-Economy has enabled many young people to be successful even earlier than the previous generation
did. Wealth creation is a legitimate aspiration today and many of you will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore, strategic uses of technology in all
sorts of businesses make the difference between success and failure for these firms. The entrepreneurial spirit together with drive and persistency are
requirements for success. Also, to participate effectively in this global economy, large and medium sized corporations are desperately seeking
intrapreneurs, entrepreneurial individuals who prefer to work inside a larger firm rather than to start or run their own business. Owning a business has
many advantages. Entrepreneurs can control their own lives, structure their own progress, be accountable for their own success and can see the fruit of
their labours in the wealth they create. After all, engineers are the most capable people to be in the forefront of this drive which will depend on the on-line
e-Business environment fostered by the Internet and the Web in the new millennium. The development of these talents is addressed in a set of two
courses but be forewarned that these courses require a substantial effort on the part of the student and the instructors. They are unusual in that, to be
accepted into them, a student has to possess some of the prerequisite personality traits and some unique abilities required to become a successful
entrepreneur.
Prior to being accepted into APS234H1, a short test is offered to those who believe that they have the drive and talents to start their own business.
APS234H1 is available in the Fall semester in any but the first year of study. APS432H1 is offered in the Winter and can be taken in the same or a later
year. The courses are sequential and the first is the pre-requisite of the second.

The Certificate in Preventive Engineering and Social Development is designed to help future engineers become as socially and environmentally literate
as they are technically competent by enabling them to anticipate the consequences of their design and decision-making and to apply this knowledge in a
negative-feedback mode to prevent or greatly reduce undesired and harmful effects on human life, society and the biosphere. The results of such a
preventive orientation are, almost always, much more cost-effective than their conventional counterparts. Studies of the career paths of engineers show
that they quickly move into administrative and managerial functions for which a broader perspective is required. An understanding of how technology
interacts with human life, society and the biosphere (the ecology of technology) is essential to complement their understanding of how the inputs of
materials, labour, knowledge and capital are converted to desired outputs (the economy of technology).
**NOTE
Students who successfully complete these three courses are eligible for the Certificate. For further information, please refer to the description of the
Centre for Technology and Social Development in this Calendar. Students should register for this elective sequence when they begin the third course.

First Year
CHAIR, FIRST YEAR
Senior Lecturer Micah Stickel, B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc., Ph.D.
The first-year Engineering curriculum is designed for students continuing in one of the following programs in second year: Chemical, Civil, Computer,
Electrical, Industrial, Materials, Mechanical or Mineral Engineering. Students are admitted to one of these programs or TrackOne on entering first year.
This guarantees a place in a program in subsequent years, subject to maintenance of satisfactory standing. Students who complete first year with a
clear record in one of the above programs may request to transfer to another program (see Academic Regulations for details). Students in TrackOne or
who wish to transfer at the end of first year must submit their requests to the First Year Office no later than the deadline as listed in the Sessional Dates.
The academic year consists of two sessions, Fall (September through December) and Winter (January through April). Students typically take five
courses per session. Timetables, detailing which courses students will take in each session, will be provided to students in August. The first-year
curriculum is shown in each program section, with the TrackOne General Engineering first-year curriculum shown below:
TrackOne is the general First Year curriculum of the Faculty. Students admitted to this program transfer to one of eight Engineering Programs, including
Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, Mineral, or Materials Science Engineering, after the successful completion of the First Year
curriculum, as listed below.
1. Students are able to substitute MAT186H1 with the online calculus course APS162H1.
2. Students are able to substitute MAT187H1 with the online calculus course APS163H1.
Students who must repeat MSE101H1 or CHE112H1 will enrol in one of the sections offered in the Winter Session, if scheduling permits.
Courses to be dropped from the Winter Session and courses to be taken in the Summer Session will depend on the students program of study and will
be decided by the First Year Office.
For details regarding the T-Program Promotional Regulations, please see the Academic Regulations portion of the calendar.
The University of Toronto offers a comprehensive program of study in Aerospace Science and Engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels. The undergraduate program is offered through the Division of Engineering Science, while the graduate program is offered at the University of
Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS). All Engineering Science students follow a common curriculum during the first two years, with emphasis
on mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals. The final two years in the Aerospace Option focus on aeronautics and space engineering, with
courses delivered primarily by faculty from UTIAS.
The undergraduate aerospace curriculum reflects the diverse and dynamic activities associated with the aerospace industry in Canada and abroad.
Students are exposed to courses associated with aeronautical and space sciences and engineering, and also gain practical experience in laboratory and
design courses. Capstone design courses in fourth year include Space Systems Design, where student teams design hardware associated with a space
mission, such as a Hubble telescope repair mission, or a Europa landing probe. Engineers from MDA Space Missions play a major role in the delivery of
this course. In the Aircraft Design course, student teams design and build model aircraft with various configurations, which are then flown in a fly-off
competition at the end of the term.
The aerospace field has progressed extensively since the record-setting flights by F.W. Baldwin and J.A.D. McCurdy - both University of Toronto
engineering graduates - during the early 1900s. It has evolved into a multi-disciplinary activity that finds itself at the cutting edge of high technology
research and development. Consequently, the field is rich with technological and engineering challenges in diverse areas such as hypersonic
aerodynamics, multi-disciplinary optimization, and space exploration. Students at the fourth year level will have opportunities to select courses and work
on thesis projects related to the many specialized areas of active research at UTIAS.
While the undergraduate program prepares students for immediate entry into a professional engineering career, many students continue to the graduate
level in order to enhance their qualifications and employment opportunities.
For further information regarding undergraduate aerospace studies please refer to the Engineering Science program in this Calendar, the website
www.engsci.utoronto.ca or contact the Engineering Science Administrative Office at 416-978-2903.
UTIAS offers graduate programs leading to research intensive M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees and a professionally oriented M.Eng. degree. Graduate
research areas include aircraft flight systems and control, flight simulation, computational fluid dynamics, combustion and propulsion, aerodynamic
shape optimization, experimental fluid dynamics, flow control, structural mechanics, advanced composite materials, multidisciplinary optimization of
aircraft, multifunctional systems, spacecraft dynamics and control, autonomous space robotics, microsatellites, space mechatronics, plasma-materials
interactions and materials for fusion reactors. Details of entrance regulations and courses of study are given in the calendar of the School of Graduate
Studies and on the website www.utias.utoronto.ca.
It should be noted that a student who has graduated in another branch of engineering, mathematics, physics or chemistry, and wishes to pursue
graduate work at the Institute for Aerospace Studies, may be admitted to the graduate program. In that case the courses leading to the M.A.Sc. or
M.Eng. degree will be arranged on an individual basis to make up for deficiencies in undergraduate training.
Biomedical engineering applies to an interdisciplinary field that integrates the principles of biology with those of engineering. It applies methods,
principles, and tools of engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics to the solution of problems in the medical and life sciences.
Through its faculty, staff and students, and through close collaboration with the faculty of related departments, hospitals and other institutions, the
Institute serves as the centre for the direct entry and collaborative Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. The
Institute educates graduate-level engineering, dentistry, and medical sciences personnel to meet societal needs. The Institute also educates
undergraduate-level engineering science students in the biomedical engineering option as well as undergraduate students with interests in biomedical
engineering through other collaborative departments and programs, such as the bioengineering minor.
The Institutes faculty researchers have strong backgrounds in one or more of engineering, dentistry, medical and biological sciences disciplines.
Augmenting this faculty are part-time members, many of whom act as supervisors of students at the Institute. Graduate students registered in the
Institute, or in collaborating graduate departments, proceed towards M.Eng., M.A.Sc., M.Sc., M.H.Sc., or Ph.D. degrees in engineering dentistry,
medicine, or the physical or life sciences.
The Faculty offers a two-year professional degree program for specialized training in Clinical Engineering. These graduates normally find employment
in health-care institutions or in the medical devices industry both in Canada and internationally.
An active summer student program offers both employment and a structured educational experience, within the Institutes research laboratories, for
approximately twenty undergraduate students each year. The graduates from this program often find employment in various engineering industries, as
well as some to the healthcare industry. Some will proceed to graduate studies.
The Institutes laboratories are principally located in the Rosebrugh Building, the Mining Building, the Banting Building, and the Donnelly Centre for
Cellular and Biomolecular Research on the St. George Campus. These laboratories serve as centres for development of experimental and clinical
techniques and instrumentation; real-time and interactive computer applications; innovative biomaterials; functional replacements for biological tissues;
and simulations for electrochemical and physiological models. Since many members of the Institute hold appointments in the nearby teaching hospitals
and medical research centres, a significant amount of research is also carried out in these hospitals and centres.
Chemical Engineering is that primary engineering discipline based on the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, biochemistry and mathematics, in
which processes are conceived, designed and operated to effect compositional changes in materials of all kinds. Chemical engineers play an important
role in the development of a healthier environment and safer and healthier industrial workplaces. They develop new industrial processes that are more
energy-efficient and environmentally friendly and create products that improve the quality of life. They are responsible for improvements in technologies
and in evaluating and controlling hazards. In addition to the basic sciences, chemical engineers use a well-defined body of knowledge in the application
of the conservation laws which determine mass flow and energy relations; thermodynamics and kinetics which determine whether reactions are feasible
and the rate at which they occur; and the chemical engineering rate laws which determine limits to the transfer of heat, mass and momentum.
Graduating chemical engineers are skilled problem solvers. A strong background in applied chemistry furnishes the chemical engineer with the
knowledge to participate in the broadest range of engineering activities, and indeed to pursue other professional careers in management, medicine, law,
teaching and government. Instruction in important aspects of economic analysis is also included. In the Fall Session of Fourth Year, students participate
in small teams in either the design of a chemical plant. 4th year students may undertake an individual full year research project. This project, the
culmination of which is a thesis, serves in many cases as an introduction to research, and provides an opportunity to apply the principles developed
during the first three years of the program to problems of engineering interest. A thesis project may, for example, concern an experimental laboratory
investigation, the design of a process, or a computer study of a complex chemical system.
The Technical Elective subjects available in the Third and Fourth Years cover a wide range of fundamental and application areas of Chemical
Engineering and Applied Chemistry. By choosing electives from a restricted list, it is possible for students to complete the requirements for an
Engineering Minor. A minor signifies that a student has gained an enhanced understanding of a specific field of study. For more information on the
various Minors, please see the sections of the Calendar relating to these programs
1. Students are able to substitute MAT186H1 with the online calculus course APS162H1.
2. Students are able to substitute MAT187H1 with the online calculus course APS163H1.
1 In years 3 and 4, two of the four Complementary Studies/Humanities and Social Sciences elective courses must be from the Humanities and Social

TECHNICAL ELECTIVES
Students are required to select their technical electives from the list of approved courses below. Technical Electives outside the group of courses below
must first be approved by the Chemical Engineering UG Coordinator.
Students wishing to pursue an Engineering Minor should take their core courses as technical electives in terms 3F and 3S. The organization of the
minors and the sets of eligible electives are presented below.
Civil Engineering
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN CIVIL ENGINEERING (AECIVBASC)
Civil Engineering exists at the intersection of the human, built, and natural environments. Civil Engineers have historically been the professionals
leading the design, construction, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of society's physical infrastructure, including: transportation networks,
water supply and wastewater treatment systems, the structures for energy generation and distribution systems, buildings and other constructed works,
land and water remediation, and more.
Although civil engineering is a highly technical profession, responsible engineering today also requires that engineers understand the impact of their
decisions and their constructed works on society at large, including issues of environmental stewardship and life-cycle economic responsibility. For
example, significant proportions of the world's energy and raw materials production goes into the construction and operations of our buildings and
transportation systems. Civil Engineers have a significant role to play in making these systems more sustainable for future generations. The
undergraduate program is therefore designed to complement technical training with learning opportunities that address these challenges.
Students enhance their undergraduate experience through a number of enriched programs. The undergraduate courses have been deliberately
sequenced so that students can take advantage of the Minors in Bioengineering, Environmental Engineering or Sustainable Energy; the Certificate
Programs in Preventative Engineering and Social Development or in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Small Business; co-op work opportunities through
the Professional Experience Year Internship Program; and post-graduate academic opportunities through the Jeffrey Skoll BASc/MBA Program or
through fast-tracked Master's degree programs.
1. Students are able to substitute MAT186H1 with the online calculus course APS162H1.
2. Students are able to substitute MAT187H1 with the online calculus course APS163H1.
Students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical experience before graduation (normally during their summer
vacation periods). Satisfactory completion of CME358H1 - Survey CAMP (Civil and Mineral Practicals), will contribute 100 hours towards this
requirement. Satisfactory completion of the Professional Experience Year (PEY) will also completely fulfill the Practical Experience Requirement.
CIV201H1 - Introduction to Civil Engineering, is a three-day field-based course. The course will be held immediately after Labour Day. Students are
required to bring and wear their Personal Protective Equipment. The results of this course are used in computing the student's Second Year Fall
Session average. An extra fee is charged to cover a transportation fee and accommodation.
Students are required to complete 4 half-courses of CS/HSS, at least two of which must be HSS, before graduation. The core course APS301H1 -
Technology in Society and the Biosphere I, counts as one half-course towards this requirement. Note that valid HSS courses are more restrictive in
scope than are CS courses. A list of pre-approved CS and HSS courses can be found on the Registrar's website.
Successful completion of APS302H1 - Technology and Society in the Biosphere II and APS304H1 - Preventive Engineering and Social Development,
both HSS electives, will satisfy the requirements for the Certificate Program in Preventative Engineering and Social Development.
CME358H1 - Survey CAMP (Civil and Mineral Practicals), is a two-week field-based course taken in the month prior to starting Third Year. The results
of this course are used in computing the student's Third Year Fall Session Average. An extra fee is charged to cover part of the costs of food and
accommodation.
The Jeffrey Skoll Combined BASc/MBA Program allows qualified and selected students in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering to complete
both a BASc and an MBA in a reduced time. Students will be admitted to the program prior to entering their fourth year of studies in the BASc program.
Interested students should contact the Registrar's Office early in the Third Year to obtain important information including application deadlines.
Students may take CIV499H1 - Individual Project in either the F term or the S term, but not in both terms.

The computer engineering undergraduate program is distinctive as it is based on the broad areas of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
These foundations are used in the design and organization of computer systems, the design of programs that turn these systems into useful
applications, and the use of computers in communication and control systems. The design includes hardware, as well as, operating systems and
software. Computer engineering students will learn how computer systems work and how they can be integrated into larger systems that serve a wide
range of users and businesses. As a result, the program also ensures that our students will gain experience in communication, problem-solving and
team management skills.
A computer engineer may be involved in the design of computers and computer systems. They may also be engaged in the design of computer-based
communications and control systems or in the design of microelectronic circuits, including computer-aided design and manufacturing. Computer system
analysis and the design of both hardware and software for applications, such as artificial intelligence and expert systems, database systems, wireless
networks, computer security and robotics, are included in the scope of the computer engineers work.
The first two years of study provide the essential background in basic science and mathematics, and also introduces the student to the important
concepts in Electrical and Computer Engineering such as circuits, digital systems, electronics, and communication systems. These two years of study
are identical to Electrical Engineering.
In third and fourth year, the curriculum allows flexibility in a students course selection, subject to program and accreditation requirements described
below. A student has greater choice from a broad array of courses in six areas of study that would appeal to their individual strengths and interests. A
number of streams or course packages called Public/Built-In Profiles have been developed by the departments Curriculum Matters Committee (CMC)
members to serve as course selection examples. These can be used as inspiration for a student to help develop more concrete decisions on their own.
A student is also free to use one of the public profiles as their template. The example course packages can be found at:
http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/curriculum-streams. An on-line program called Magellan is available to facilitate the course selection process. All second
year students will have access to Magellan by the end of their fall term . If at any time a student has questions about their curriculum decisions, contact
information can be found at: https://magellan.ece.toronto.edu
Graduates of the program may decide to go directly into careers in a wide range of fields, and continue to learn by direct experience and through the
opportunities of company-sponsored education. Students may also decide to pursue studies at the graduate level with studies in most areas of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. More detailed information can be found at: http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/graduates-home/

Engineering Science is an enriched program that provides excellent preparation for postgraduate studies in engineering and science as well as for other
professional degree programs such as business, law and medicine. Graduates of the program are also well qualified to immediately embark on
professional engineering-related careers.
The Engineering Science program shares elements of the Facultys Engineering programs, but is distinct in many respects, with the key differences
being:
The Engineering Science program is designed and delivered at a level that is more academically demanding;
The Engineering Science program contains more mathematics, science and engineering science, with greater focus on deriving results using a first
principles approach;
The Engineering Science program has a distinct 2+2 curriculum structure, namely a 2-year foundation curriculum followed by a 2-year specialization
curriculum in a diverse range of fields, many of which are unique to the Engineering Science program; and
The Engineering Science program requires that all students complete an independent research-based thesis project.
Engineering Science students in years 1, 2 and 3 are required to maintain a full course load, unless they gain permission from their academic counsellor
in the Division of Engineering Science to pursue part time studies or less than a normal/full course load due to medical or personal reasons. Students
entering year 4 are expected to maintain a full course load, but students with medical or personal reasons or who have completed program requirements
prior to Year 4 may go part time or less than a full course load in 4F and/or 4W. This is subject to the approval of their academic counsellor. Please note
that a reduced course load in 4F or 4W may impact award assessments. Please refer to the academic calendar under "Academic Regulations VII:
Academic Standing" for Honours Standing criteria related to course load, and consult with your academic counsellor for more information.
Transfers in Year 1 from Engineering Science to one of the Facultys Engineering programs are permitted early in the Fall Session (towards the end of
September), at the end of the Fall Session, and at the end of the Winter Session. Continuation into the Winter Session of Year 1 requires a minimum
average of 55% in the Fall Session and continuation into Year 2 requires a minimum average of 65% in the Winter Session of Year 1. Students who do
not meet these requirements are required to transfer into one of the Facultys Engineering programs, subject to the requirements and provisions outlined
in the section on Academic Regulations in this Calendar.
The curriculum for the first two years and the curricula for the eight Options are presented on the pages that follow.
Degree Designation
Engineering Science students graduate with the degree Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science. On their official transcript, their chosen
Option is indicated as their Major, e.g. Major in Aerospace Engineering.
If a student is deficient in terms of the Program of Study or falls short in any of the CEAB categories, the student must adjust their course selection
accordingly in order to graduate.
1. All students must graduate with 1.0 credit in Humanities & Social Sciences (HSS). Students will gain 0.5 HSS credit from ESC203H1.
2. Please note that additional lectures may be scheduled for AER201H1 in place of laboratory and test times in the first few weeks of the Winter Session.

The goal of the materials engineering undergraduate curriculum is to provide an understanding of the underlying principles of synthesis, characterization
and processing of materials and of the interrelationships among structure, properties, and processing. The program prepares students for professional
careers in a wide variety of industries, as well as for advanced study in this field. It also provides students with the opportunity to broaden their education
in engineering and science or to expand their knowledge in a particular technical area by offering course foundations in four core areas: nanomaterials,
materials in manufacturing, biomaterials, materials processing and sustainable development.
The first year of the program establishes basic fundamentals in math, chemistry, and physics with an introduction to design, communications, and
societal issues in Engineering. In the second year, the students are introduced to the structural and analytical characterization of materials, electrical
and quantum mechanical properties of matter, thermodynamics, fundamentals and processing of organic and inorganic materials, engineering statistics
and materials selection in design. The third year is devoted to a series of introductory courses in the four theme areas. Other courses include heat and
mass transfer, phase transformations, process design, mechanical behaviour and environmental degradation of materials. The fourth year focuses on
in-depth study of the selected theme areas plus an additional materials selection in design course. The fourth year also culminates in a senior design
course in which the students integrate the knowledge obtained during their prior studies. The technical aspects of the curriculum are complemented by
communication, humanities and social sciences courses and by material on leadership, ethics, team building and environmental responsibility that are
distributed throughout the curriculum.
For those students interested in pursuing an Engineering Minor, please read the detailed information provided at the beginning of this chapter. By
selecting courses which meet both MSE requirements and the requirements of the respective Minor, it is possible for a student to complete a Minor
during the normal course of study.

Practical Experience Requirement - As described in the beginning pages of this chapter, students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours
of acceptable practical experience, before graduation, (normally acquired during summer vacation periods).
HSS/CS Requirement - In order to fulfill degree and Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements, each student must take a total of
4 half year (or 2 full year) Complementary Studies (CS) Electives. Two of those CS electives must be Humanities/Social Sciences (HSS) courses. In
MSE, these courses are taken in 2nd and 3rd years. (Note: Students may choose to take technical electives in 3rd year instead; and, then take their
HSS/CS courses in 4th year.) Since students are responsible for ensuring that each HSS/CS elective taken is an approved course, be sure to consult
the electives list on the APSC Registrars website.
To satisfy the CEAB requirements, students must accumulate, during their studies, a minimum total number of "accreditation units" (AUs) as well as a
minimum number of AUs in six specific categories: complementary studies, mathematics, natural science, engineering science, engineering design, and
combined engineering science & design. MSE now provides students with a planning tool, the "AU Tracker", to help students to ensure that all
requirements are met. Using the AU Tracker, a student can list all successfully completed courses, as well as all the courses enrolled in for the current
academic year. The Tracker confirms whether or not students are on track to meet or exceed the CEAB requirements.
The 5 required Technical Electives selected must include courses from at least 2 of the themes listed below. Note that, of the 5 courses, at least 2 of
those courses must be selected from a single theme. A minimum of 3 courses must be chosen from the MSE themes.
A maximum of 2 Technical Electives may be chosen from other Engineering departments, with the prior approval of the MSE Associate Chair,

Industrial Engineering (IE) is a discipline that applies engineering principles to the design and operation of organizations. Industrial Engineering students
learn to analyze, design, implement, control, evaluate, and improve the performance of complex organizations, taking into consideration people,
technology, and information systems. Industrial engineers use operations research, information engineering, and human factors tools and methods to
improve and optimize systems operations and performance.
Industrial engineers share the common goal of increasing an organizations efficiency, profitability and safety in a variety of industries including health
care, finance, retail, entertainment, government, information technology, transportation, energy, manufacturing, and consulting. Unlike traditional
disciplines in engineering and the mathematical sciences, IE addresses the role of the human decision-maker as a key contributor to the inherent
complexity of systems and the primary benefactor of the analyses.
Industrial Engineering bears close resemblance to: Management Science, Management Engineering, Operations Research, Operations Management,
and Systems Engineering.
The objective of the Industrial Engineering program curriculum is to educate engineers who:
Employ effective analysis and design tools;
Integrate perspectives into a systems view of the organization; and
Understand both the theory and the practice of Industrial Engineering.
In the first two years of the curriculum, emphasis is placed on fundamental principles of engineering and core industrial engineering concepts. Tools
taught in second year include: probability, psychology for engineers, fundamentals of object oriented programming, engineering economics and
accounting, operations research, differential equations, statistics, human centered systems design, and data modeling.
In the third year, students learn various perspectives on the operation of organizations, including productivity, information, ergonomics, and economics.
They also select technical electives allowing them to specialize in information engineering, operations research and human factors, and investigate other
IE areas such as business process engineering, design of information systems and facility planning. These same courses may be taken as fourth-year
technical electives (schedule permitting). Therefore, students may use their fourth year electives to pursue their specialization further in depth, or to
investigate other IE areas.
In fourth year, the central theme is the design and management of an organization as an integrated system. All students participate in an Integrated
Systems Design course to design the business processes of an organization, and a Capstone Design course that requires students to draw on
knowledge from all years of the IE program to tackle a real-world project with an industry partner. There is also a research thesis option.
Job opportunities for IE graduates are very diverse and offer challenging careers in a wide variety of industries, including consulting. Three prototypical
jobs for new graduates include:
Manage an organizational supply chain to ensure new products can be successfully introduced into global sales channels.
Test the interaction features of a new software application.
Identify increased capacity requirements necessary to accommodate the expected surgical volume of hospitals.

The Mechanical Engineering profession faces unprecedented challenges and exciting opportunities in its efforts to serve the needs of society. The broad
disciplinary base and design orientation of the field will continue to make the skills of the mechanical engineer crucial to the success of virtually all
technical systems that involve energy, motion, materials, design, automation and manufacturing. The explosive growth in the availability of lower-cost,
compact and high speed computing hardware and software is already revolutionizing the analysis, design, manufacture and operation of many
mechanical engineering systems. Mechanical engineering systems are part of automotive engineering, robotics, fuel utilization, nuclear and thermal
power generation, materials behaviour in design applications, transportation, biomechanical engineering, environmental control and many others.
To prepare Mechanical Engineers for the challenges of such a broad discipline, the program is designed to:
(i) Provide fundamental knowledge of the various subdisciplines;
(ii) Teach methodology and systems analysis techniques for integrating this knowledge into useful design concepts, and
(iii) Make graduates fully conversant with modern facilities, such as CAD/CAM and microprocessor control, by which design concepts can be
produced and competitively manufactured.
The knowledge component includes the key subdisciplines of mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control theory, dynamics, material science

Mineral Engineering
LASSONDE MINERAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM (AELMEBASC)
The first year of the four-year curriculum is similar to that of other engineering programs at the University. All subsequent years are unique to the
Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program, with transfer into Year 2 of Mineral Engineering being permitted from both the General Engineering first year
and other engineering programs. Year 2 concentrates on minerals engineering fundamentals, and years 3 and 4 comprise a minerals engineering core
supplemented by technical electives. A wide range of technical electives are available, thereby allowing students to specialise should they so wish in one
particular branch of minerals engineering. Students also study humanities and complementary studies electives in the final two years. Practical aspects
of the program are presented through laboratory sessions, and students attend one survey and one geology field camp, each of two weeks duration.
Students are encouraged and helped to obtain industrial experience during summer vacations, and have the opportunity to take a Professional
Experience Year between years 3 and 4. Attractive entrance and in-course scholarships and bursaries are available, including the prestigious,
competitively awarded Lassonde Scholarships.
Graduates obtain a comprehensive training in minerals engineering, and are well prepared for future challenges in the planning and financing of mineral
and related engineering projects as well as for graduate study in mining, geological, or civil engineering. The program is accredited with the Canadian
Engineering Accreditation Board.
There will be many occasions where students are required to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including safety footwear bearing the CSA
Green Patch, hard hats, protective eyewear with side shields, tear away safety vests and ear protection. Students are required to purchase their own
PPE. All field trips, laboratories, and other events require advance briefing on the nature of potential hazards and students are required to attend these
briefings and to follow the provided instructions.
Students are required to have completed at least 600 hours of acceptable practical experience before graduation. This is normally acquired during the
summer vacation periods or during a Professional Experience Year (PEY) internship.
Several Engineering Minors and Certificate Programs are available and generally require the student to successfully complete a carefully selected slate
of electives in their Fourth Year. Late in the Third Year Winter Session, students use an on-line pre-registration tool to indicate their preferred fourth-
year electives. Students should review the various minor and certificate program requirements and attend the department's information sessions in
Third Year to ensure that the appropriate electives are taken in Fourth Year. Students should note that they can also complete the requirements of a
minor or certificate program even after they have graduated, as long as the additional requirements are met within nine years of their initial registration in
the BASc program. If completed after graduation, additional fees will be assessed, and a transcript will be issued with the amended courses and
indication of completed minor or certificate program requirements.
Students with the necessary qualifications (generally at least a B+ average in the final year of the undergraduate program) who wish to proceed to
graduate studies may do so through the Lassonde Institute, an interdisciplinary research institute for engineering geoscience. The Department of Civil
Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the Department of Geology, and the
Collaborative Program in Geophysics are all collaborators in the Lassonde Institute.
The Engineering Departments offer programs leading to the MASc, MEng, and PhD degrees. Other Departments offer MSc and PhD degree programs.
Additional information may be obtained at www.lassondeinstitute.utoronto.ca or the websites of the collaborating Departments.
