Program Curriculums

Core engineering program

A substantial part of the work in first and second year is made up of courses common to all 10 engineering disciplines. You will apply to your preferred discipline in the winter term of first year and the elective classes taken in second year will depend on your selected discipline.

Complementary studies

Also an important part of the curriculum is a series of听complementary studies听classes. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE) requires that an accredited undergraduate engineering degree program听must include Complementary Studies courses which appropriately complement the technical content of the engineering curriculum.听

In the Upper Division,听students are required to take one Complementary Studies Elective course where the subject matter deals with the humanities and social sciences.听 This must be a 3-credit course, normally offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.听 Courses which focus heavily on science, mathematics, technical analysis or economics, cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.

Departments that may have suitable courses include: Arabic, Bioethics, Canadian Studies, Chinese, Classics, Contemporary Studies, Creative Writing, Early Modern Studies, English, European Studies, French, Gender and Women's Studies, German, History of Science and Technology, History, International Development Studies, Italian, Journalism, King's Foundation Year Program, Law, Leisure Studies, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, Russian Studies, Social Work, Sociology and Social Anthropology, Spanish and Latin American Studies, Sustainability, Theatre.

If you are a student coming from one of our Associated Universities, please note that you are required to complete at least 50% of your classes at 黑料吃瓜网 in order to obtain your degree. If you have taken a class at another university from which you want to be exempted at Dalhousie, please keep this rule in mind because this means that you will be required to take another class in its place. If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Brooks, Undergraduate Coordinator.听听

Please check for pre-requisites and if there are pre-requisites-you get approval from the professor-in-charge

Students can only take ONE 3000-level course as a technical elective. Approved courses from other Engineering Departments or Faculties outside of Engineering (such as Faculty of Science) may be suitable as possible technical electives.

*Students require a 3.00 CGPA to take a graduate level course (5000 or 6000)

Note: Must have permission from Dr. Brooks, Undergraduate Coordinator before registering for all technical electives not on this list. (Su-Ling.Brooks@dal.ca)
Send Dr. Brooks the course #, name and course description when contacting her for permission for a TE not on this list.
Most Engineering Depts. put a restriction on their courses so you will need to contact that department secretary or instructor for a request to have an override provided.
Please check Timetable on Banner to determine if a class is offered and when (dal.ca/timetable)

Program curriculum

Years 1 and 2 follow the core Engineering program. See the For Current Students section to view the full program curriculum.

How to apply for co-op
