What is the difference in the EE program between a Complementary Studies Elective and a Science Elective?
A Complementary Studies Elective (CSE) is a course from a discipline outside science and engineering. Accreditation of the EE and EngPhys degrees towards the requirements of professional engineer status requires inclusion of a certain number of credits of CSE courses (2.0 for the EE degree, 1.5 for EngPhys) to provide breadth within the degree. The calendar contains a list of allowed CSE courses, and each years registration package may contain more up to date information on allowed CSE courses. In the EE program, a 0.5 credit course from a discipline close to engineering may be taken in fourth year as a Science Elective. The list of allowed Science Electives is also in the calendar. Note that the EE degree program requirements do not say you have to take a Science Elective, just that you may take it as one of the choices for the 0.5 credit requirement. Also note that the Science Electives do not apply to the EngPhys program, since there is no requirement in fourth year that can be sati
