given as Pass/Withdraw (P,W) only, based on the employer's and
Internship Coordinator's evaluations of the 'student's work during
the semester and of the work report submitted at the end of the
work session.
Prerequisite: Students must register with the School Internship
Co-ordinator by end of the third week of the semester preceding
the work semester.

ENSC 498-3 Engineering Science Thesis Proposal
The student's time in this course is devoted to supervised study,
research and development and work leading to a formal proposal
for the project work in ENSC 499. This activity can be directly
augmented by other course work and by directed study. The locale
of the work may be external to the University or within a
University laboratory, or may bridge the two locations.
Supervision may be by the company sponsoring the internship or by
faculty members, or through some combination. A plan for the
student's ENSC 498 activities must be submitted to the School at
least one month prior to the start of the semester in which the
course will be taken. Preparation of the undergraduate thesis
project proposal is the formal requirement of this course and the
basis upon which it is graded. Grading will be on a Pass/Fail
basis.

The B.A.Sc. Program in Engineering: Science
Students
who
study Engineering Science 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 and once admitted to Engineering Science, students
must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 ('B') to remain in the
program.
To obtain the degree, students undertake a basic core program of pure,
applied and engineering sciences followed by studies in a specialized option.
The School of Engineering Science began offering courses in September,
1983. The overall plan for the School is to have three major areas of
concentration. They are:
Core A - Computing, microelectronics and communications.
Core B - Industrial automation, control and robotics and computer-aided
design. and manufacturing.
Core C - Chemical and biochemical processing and biotechnology.
At present, Core A is fully operational and the first students have just
been enrolled in Core B. Core C will be phased in over the next few years.
In all Engineering Science courses, computers receive major emphasis as
tools for learning, conceptualization, design and analysis. Built into the
program are courses on social impacts of technology, finance, management,
design methods and entrepreneurship intended to complement scientific studies.
A special, integrated communications course taken throughout the eight academic
semesters ensures that all S.F.U. Engineering Science graduates have the
communication skills necessary to be effective as engineers.
Industrial Internship
Every student in the Engineering Science program must complete an
internship involving at least three work semesters and a thesis project. This
results in a combination of work in an appropriate industrial or research
setting with study in the chosen option. In the final phase of the program
intensive specialized study is coupled with a project under the direction of a
practicing engineer or scientist.
Typically, following the sixth academic semester, the student will be
given the opportunity for placement in a job appropriate to his/her stated
interests to work on a major project. In the seventh semester the student will
take courses to help complete work on that project and prepare a formal thesis.
proposal. The thesis is written in the final semester of the program when the
student will be taking classes part-time and working part-time on the thesis
project. When appropriate, other patterns of work and study can be adopted.
The School also offers the opportunity to participate in additional work
semesters throughout the program to give students further valuable experience
and the chance to investigate their career choices. The internships will be

administered through the School Internship Co-ordinator whose responsibility is

to find and maintain appropriate work placements.
Reciuirernents for the Bachelor of Applied
Science Degree
1.
A minimum of 160 semester hours credit in basic science, general studies,
engineering science, specialized engineering and science, plus project and
laboratory work.
2. A Graduation Grade Point Average of at least 3.0 calculated on the required
160 semester hours, or on the 80 semester hours of upper division credit.
3.
Completion of an internship. This consists of at least three semesters of
practical experience in an appropriate industrial or research setting
leading to a project under the technical direction of a practicing engineer
or scientist. The internship may take place within the University but in
most cases the work site is remote from the university. A member of the
external organization and a faculty member from the School jointly supervise
the project.
ENSC 498-3 Engineering Science Thesis Proposal is normally taken during the
seventh academic semester. During ENSC 499-9 the student engages in
supervised study and practical work in research, development or advanced
engineering. A project thesis based on this activity must be submitted.
4.
A specialized program of study must be completed in one of six options:
Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Engineering Physics,
•
?
Biomedical Engineering, Robotics & Control Engineering and Manufacturing
systems Engineering. These are listed below on a semester-by-semester basis
although there is no strict requirement to follow the sequence of these
typical programs. However, any semester's registration less than 15
semester hours must be approved by the Director and students departing from
these sequences must be.careful about scheduling and prerequisite problems
they may face in subsequent semesters.
5.
General Studies - This section of the program is made up of non-technical
courses intended to broaden the student's education and develop an awareness
of general social, economic and managerial factors which affect engineering
and scientific work. All units of the engineering communication course must
be completed. One course must deal with the interaction of science and
technology with society. The other complementary studies courses may also
deal with this subject or may be chosen from the areas of administration,
arts, humanities or social sciences. Particular course requirements are:
