NOTES
All courses are core courses except for technical complementaries, laboratory complementaries and general complementaries. Core courses are shown in boldface above. All core courses must be passed with a grade "C" or better. Also, a grade of "C" is required for an ECSE xxx core course in order to proceed with its follow-on ECSE xxx course(s), and a grade of "C" is required for a MATH xxx course in order to proceed with its follow-on MATH xxx course(s). A grade of "D" is only acceptable for non-core courses (ie - technical, laboratory, and general complementaries).
Laboratory complementaries are normally taken in conjuction with a technical complementary. Technical complementaries are selected from the list of 400-level courses offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (see next page).
General complementary studies requirements:
1) U0, freshman students, must complete 3 credits from a special list which relate to the Impact of Technology on Society and 6 credits from a special list of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Administrative Studies and Law (see Section 7.3.4, Page 213 of the 2006-2007 捆绑SM社区 Calendar).
2) U1, students from Quebec CEGEP, must complete 3 credits from a special list which relate to the Impact of Technology on Society and 3 credits from a special list of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Administrative Studies and Law (see Section 7.3.4, Page 213 of the 2006-2007 捆绑SM社区 Calendar).
This sample curriculum is only for students who wish to complete their degree requirements in 7 semesters. Students may, at any time, deviate from this structure. However, it will be the student's responsibility to devise a study plan that has no course conflicts or prerequisite/corequisite violations. Academic advisors are available for course selection.
