School of Engineering Science
Changes to BASe and BASc (Honors) Programs
(SCUS Reference 02-3 (rev. 3)
Date: ?
May 15, 2002
Action undertaken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at its meeting of
May 14, 2002 gives rise to the following motion:
"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of Governors of the
proposal from the School of Engineering Science to refine the existing BASc program to
provide both a general and an honors degree as set forth in S. 02 -51 , effective
S ?
September 2002. Furthermore, Senate affirms that the designation BASc (Honors) may
be used by those who have graduated from the BASc program prior to Fall 2002,
provided that both a CGPA and a UDGPA of at least 3.0 were obtained on graduation"
Rationale
The current Engineering Science program is an elite program that is effectively an honors
program without a corresponding general degree program. The changes outlined in the
attached document would designate the current program as an honors program, and create
a general degree program.
These changes will allow the School of Engineering Science to award an appropriate
degree to those students who complete the required number of credit hours but fall short
of the high gpa requirement. Currently, students in the program who do not meet the 3.0
gpa requirement or do not complete the undergraduate thesis do not receive a BASc,
despite considerable investment in their academic work.
After discussion of the proposal at the March 12, 2002 and May 14, 2002 meetings of
SCUS, committee members were supportive of the changes outlined in the proposal, for
the reasons given therein. It was determined that no new library resources are needed in
support of this proposal. The Senate Committee on University Priorities has also
reviewed the proposal and provided feedback to SCUS. The feedback from SCUP has
been incorporated into the attached proposal.

BASc and BASc (Honors) Programs
K. Gupta, School of Engineering Science, and R. D. Cameron, Associate Dean of Applied Sciences ?
Revision F - May 14, 2002
1. Introduction
This document proposes refining the existing BASc program to provide both a general and an honors degree. The current program requires a 3.0 GPA
and an undergraduate thesis. In essence, it is an honors program requiring only a slight change in GPA requirements for consistency with University
standard for Honors. The general degree option removes the 3.0 GPA requirement and replaces the undergraduate thesis with a final year project.
The proposed programs for the BASc and BASc (Honors) have each been designed in accord with the requirements of the Canadian Engineering
Accreditation Board.
In order to protect the accomplishment of existing BASc graduates, this proposal includes a motion permitting use of the BASc (Honors) designation for
graduates prior to Fall 2002 who achieved a CPGA and UDGPA of at least 3.0.
Revision E of this document incorporates changes in wording made at the direction of Senate Committee on University Planning during its meeting of
April 17, 2002, while Revision F contains changes approved by Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at its Meeting of May 14, 2002.
Rationale
The current Engineering Science program is effectively an honors program without a corresponding general degree program. The proposal adds the
appropriate honors designation for the current program and introduces a complementary general degree program based on a final project rather than the
undergraduate thesis.
The Engineering Science program was originally designed as an elite program for a small number of students. One reason for this was to provide the best
basis for establishing the program and securing its reputation. Following this approach, Engineering Science has indeed grown to become widely known
and highly regarded.
The program has for some time had strong student demand as well as industry demand for additional graduates. Degree options at both the general and
10
honors levels will allow the program to move beyond its elite status to meet these demands.
The lack of a general degree program has also created severe difficulties for students whose performance is not at the honors level, but nevertheless is well
above the requirement for satisfactory completion of comparable engineering programs within Canada. At present, many B- students are left without an
attractive degree option after an investment of 120 credits or more in an Engineering Science program. The introduction of both general and honors
degrees remedies this problem.
The general degree program will also provide the School with increased flexiblity in meeting growth demands that may be associated with the 'Double
The Opportunity" initiative.

Rationale
With the proposed removal of the undergraduate thesis from the general BASc degree, the curriculum will lack the necessary capstone project course
specified by accredition requirements for engineering programs in Canada. ENSC
440-4
is thus introduced as the capstone project course.
Note. In essence, ENSC
340
is split into two versions, ENSC
340
for Honors students and ENSC
440
for students in the general degree program.
Additional prerequisites are added to ensure that the project may be carried out at the more advanced level required for a capstone course satisfying
accreditation requirements.

Engineering science students develop skills in
systems design along with a high level of scientific
knowledge. The program is demanding and is aimed
at the superior student. The goal of the program is to
produce well educated, innovative engineer/scientists
who have entrepreneurial skills and attitudes and who
are oriented to the new technologies. Entry to the
program is on a competitive basis. Students admitted
to the first year of engineering science must achieve a
cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 (first
year) to remain in the program. Students completing
(heir second or subsequent year must maintain a
cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (B) to
remain in the program. Note that a first year CGPA
below 3.0 is not included in the calculation.
The program may be completed in four and two thirds
years which includes eight semesters of course work,
and two semesters for thesis completion. Some
courses may also be taken in these final two
semesters if required. Students undertake a basic core
of pure, applied and engineering sciences followed by
studies in a specialized option.

The general degree program substitutes a final year
project for the undergraduate thesis and requires a
CGPA and UDGPA each of at least 2.4 for
continuation. If either GPA falls below 2.4, the student is
placed on probationary standing with the school.
Courses available to probationary students may be
limited. Each semester, probationary students are
required to consult an advisor prior to course registration
Reinstatement from probationary standing occurs when
both CGPA and UDGPA return to 2.4 or better.
Continuation of probationary standing requires a
semester GPA of at least 2.4.

Rationale
The thesis and third year project course are eliminated for the general degree, being replaced by the capstone project course
introduced instead in semester seven. A Science elective is dropped to keep the credit hours per term near the 17 credit
average. Semester schedules are adjusted accordingly.

The following motion for consideration by Senate is proposed.
Whereas the accomplishment
of existing graduates
of
the BASc program is generally equivalent to that expected under the new
BASc (Honors) designation, Senate affirms that the designation BASc (Honors) may be used by those who have graduated from the
BASc program prior to Fall 2002, provided that both a CGPA and a UDGPA of at least 3.0 were obtained on graduation.
