SUMMARY

Simwy
In recognition of the need to increase educational opportunities for
engineering, the Universities Council of British Columbia has recommended that
the existing program at the University of British Columbia he expanded, that a
cooperative engineering program be established at the UnivçrsitY of Victoria,
and that Simon Fraser University develop a program in engineering science.
These recommendations have been accepted in principle by the Ministry of
Universities, Science and Communications and special grants were made to the
universities for planning and early development. This proposal sets forth the
Engineering Science program plan developed at Simon Fraser.
Engineering Science will be a small, selective program oriented towards
traditional and new areas of applied science and the microelectronic-based
• ?
systems for information and materials processing that have been identified by
many as the basis for a new "industrial revolution". The goal is the
attainment of two objectives simultaneously: education in both natural
sciences and system design at a high intellectual level. This duality calls
for an innovative blending of courses in science and engineering into a unique
educational program in the applied sciences, illustrated conceptually in
figure 1.
Following this figure, both the basic sciences core and general studies
cores are common to all the engineering science options, while there are three
basic options within the engineering science core itself. Core B is typical
of other Engineering Science programs with its emphasis on the mechanical,
electrical and natural sciences. In contrast, core A is oriented more towards
the electrical and computing sciences and core C stresses the chemical and
biological sciences. No matter which option is chosen, however, there is a
-
?
fundamental requirement for breadth of study in engineering science.
3
The opportunity to concentrate in a particular specialization is found in
the upper years of the program. This provides the necessary depth of study in
each student's program and, by drawing on the varied resources of Simon Fraser,
in the pure and applied sciences, a large number of elective opportunities can
be offered.
Because the program aims to offer meaningful elective choices to the
student, its format is complex. It should be noted, however, that this
proposal describes a mature program which will evolve over a period of
years. When fully developed, in a decade or so, the details ray differ
considerably from those described. Some options will develop essentially as
shown, others will probably hot go ahead and others, not described here, may
be established.
Special features of this program also discussed in the proposal are the
internship which involves the student in relevant research and development
work, the academic requirements leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science
(B.A.Sc.) degree, and the admission requirements for Engineering Science and
pre-engineering. Transfer into the program with advanced standing and the
need for transfer out to the University of British Columbia and other
universities with regular engineering programs are also important elements of
Engineering Science at Simon Praser..

PREAMBLE
This proposal for an Engineering Science program at Simon Fraser
University is the result of over two years of work. Even though the 1981
proposal for a conventional and co-op based engineering program was not
approved, the University was both encouraged and funded to propose a plan for
an Engineering Science program such as that at the University of Toronto. As
a preamble to the proposal itself, the circumstances and history of the
planning process will be briefly reviewed. More detail on the previous
proposal may be found in "Proposal for a Faculty of Engineering at Simon
Fraser University", November 1980.
Previous discussions of engineering manpower requirements will not be
?
reiterated here, except to note that the aggregate of the planned developments
at the
University
of British Columbia, the University of Victoria and Simon
Fraser
University
bring the British Columbia participation in engineering
education to the present average level of the Canadian provinces.
Furthermore, those developments will require over a decade to cane to maturity
and even then will be far, far below current Japanese levels. M additional
point is the impact of computerized, automated systems in all phases of
productive work from the factory to the office.* If Canada, and British
Columbia, is to have even a modest role in the application of the new
technologies, then men and women with the background provided by the proposed
new program in Engineering Science will be in even higher demand than the more
usual engineering graduates.
This University's excellent location in terms of popoulation growth and
industrial research and development has been identified already, as have the

internal academic and scientific'strengths relevant to an engineering
program. ?
The Engineer Science curriculum detailed in this proposal
demonstrates emphatically how SFIJ's existing capabilities can be extended and
redeployed to effect a very special and important form of applied science
education.
Formal planning for engineering at Simon Fraser began in December 1979
when Senate gave approval in principle to the development of undergraduate and
graduate programs at Simon Fraser.
?
An Engineering Commitee was later
established under the chairmanship of Dr. T.W. Calvert as Director of
Engineering. ?
External assistance was provided by three former Deans of
Engineering acting as consultants, and by an external Planning Advisory
Committee chaired by the Chancellor, Mr. Paul Cote, P.Eng.
?
The resulting
proposal for a Faculty of Engineering was approved by Senate on 12 January,
1981 and submitted to the Universities Council of British Coluibia.
Subsequent to the recommendations of Council of 25 March, 1981, a proposal for
an Engineering transfer program was approved by Senate on 13 July, 1981.
?
This
proposal, having been overtaken by events in the planning of Engineering
Science, is not expected to be acted upon.
In July 1981, work began on developing the Engineering Science program
with Dr. D.A. George, one of the previous consultants, as Director of
Engineering. As a result of the Council recommendations, and discussions
between the University and the Ministry and Council, it was established that
Engineering Science should he similar to the University of Toronto program,
oriented towards areas of high technology of present and future importance to
British Columbia, and based on existing strengths in basic and applied science
at Simon Fraser.

Following individual meetings with members
of the Planning
Advisory
Committee and others prominent in B.C. research
and engineering,
visits to
universities in Canada, the United States and Japan, and meetings with SF11
departmental groups and the members* of the reconstituted Engineering
Committee, a basic approach was developed from which this proposal has
evolved. At the same time, a projection of the financial needs of the program
was developed (of necessity prior to the detailed curricular design) and
tabled with the Engineering Expansion Committee**, which had been established
to assemble critical numerical data related to the expansion of engineering
education in the Province.
The academic proposal for Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University
was approved by the Engineering Committee in December, 1981, and forwarded to
the Senate Committee on Academic Planning.

A GENERAL DESCRIPTION
OF 1HE
ENGINEERING SCIENCE PROGRAM
.
S
10 ?
THE ENGINEERING SCIENCE PROGRAM
Ll
Engineering science and systems is the special emphasis of the
engineering program at Simon Fraser University. This orientation towards a
strong and broad basis in the pure and applied sciences, coupled with an
exposure to the best engineering practice, aims to have graduates who "have a
creative sense of practical technology with a firm grasp of the basic
sciences." This theme, so well expressed in the educational philosophy of the
founder of the Faculty of Engineering Science of Osaka University in Japan, is
the basis of the study of engineering at SFU.
Our mandate for Engineering Science at Simon Fraser also includes a
strong emphasis on high technology, that is, on those areas of engineering and
science where the frontiers are expanding rapidly and which have particular
potential for industrial growth. It was also recommended, that we build on
and from existing strengths at the University. Based on these imperatives, we
have selected three general areas of specialization within 'a basic program.
Thus, a limited range of programs is planned, all oriented towards high-
technology.
It is inevitable that those working "at the frontiers" require more than
average powers of conceptualization, knowledge of science and capabilities in
mathematics. Also essential are entrepreneurial tendencies, at least in their
technical work if not also in their business activities. As a consequence,
entry into this program will be on a selective basis and a modest level of
enrollment is planned.
Engineering Science, as it is generally defined by programs elsewhere, is
based on a common core of at least two years duration followed by two years of
0
?
much more specialized study. At the University of Toronto there are eight
specialized options. This approach contrasts with typical "departmentalized"
11
engineering programs where specialization begins at the second year, if not
before, and where the final year often consists largely of elective courses
within the particular engineering specialization. Also implied by the
Engineering Science concept is a greater emphasis on the basic pure, applied
and engineering sciences, and a high level of student attainment.
The particular areas for specialization in engineering science and high
technology engineering being proposed for development have been chosen to be
complimentary to existing strengths in pure and applied science at Simon
Fraser University. They are also grouped so as to have a substantial common
core. In this way class sizes will not be too small, and the total program
cost will be reasonable, even though the total planned enrollment is not
large.
The three general areas of specialization being proposed are: computing,
microelectronics and communications; industrial automation, control
and
robotics, and computer-aided design and manufacturing; and chemical and bio-
chemical processing and biotechnology. The first grouping is the most
developed area of high technology and advanced engineering concepts. While
the second area is not so well established, it is taking on a growing
importance as North America fights to maintain a competitive manufacturing
capability. The last area is an embryonic area of future high-technology as
the full potentials of bio-chemical and biological systems are realized.
These areas are over-lapped and entwined and they have a common base of
mathematics, science and engineering subjects.
Analysis shows that the three areas, with their substantial curricular
overlaps particularly in the context of basic science and the role of
computers, can make substantial use of existing courses in computing science,
physics, kinesiology, chemistry, biology and mathematics. However, it has
.
12
become evident that the typical engineering science core (based as it is on
the mechanical, electrical and physical sciences) is not sufficient for the
broad range of fundamentals which the modern engineering sciences should
encompass. In terms of the conventional core, the new SF11 core calls for
considerable extension into computing science at one extreme and into the
biological sciences at the other. Obtaining this breadth in sufficient depth
in a common curriculum leaves far too little time for specialized study.
The inescapable conclusion is that flexibility is needed, that the
traditional core with few course options is not sufficient. Consequently the
SF11 Engineering Science core has three major orientations, all of which
overlap extensively. The traditional Engineering Science program is
designated as core B and is based on the mechanical, the electrical and the
natural sciences. In contrast, core A is more oriented towards the electrical
and computing sciences while still allowing time for study in the natural and
mechanical sciences. Core C is based on the chemical, biological and
mechanical sciences.
Once the student has progressed well into his or her chosen engineering
science core, more specialized study becomes possible. Some of these
specializations are natural outgrowths of the engineering science core
subjects, while others are based more on existing SF11 programs. Those
presented here are computer engineering, electronics and communications,
engineering physics (with an electronics and nuclear option), biomedical
engineering, industrial processes (with a manufacturing and a process control
option), engineering mathematics (with an applied mechanics and a computing
and communications option), biotechnology, energy systems (with an energy
processes and an energy systems option), and engineering chemistry. A very
special feature of these areas of concentrated study is a proposed internship
13
which would involve anácadi,sester spent primarily in an appropriate
industrial or research environment.
It is critical that such programs truly be "at the frontier" and not just
academically demanding. For that reason, each basic core program will have an
external advisory committee drawn from industry, commerce and research to
identify current and future areas of program'emphasis.
Non-technical subjects form an important part of an 'engineering
curriculum. The economic and social impacts of engineering and advanced
technology are of great importance and engineering students must at the least
be made aware of these concerns. As well, realistic aspects of engineering
work such as financing, management, design methods and entrepreneurship should
complement scientific studies..- Special efforts are planned to ensure that SF11
Engineering Science graduates have good communication skills.
Enrollment will be constrained so as not to grow beyond a first year
intake of 150 students, but there could be appreciable intake at the second
year level and perhaps even at the third. However, it must be understood that
even with selective entry, not all students would attain an academic level
sufficient to remain in the program. Others, while qualified academically,
would develop interests in engineering which fell outside the scope of the SF11
program. It would be expected, then, that at least one-half of the students
would transfer to engineering at the University of British Columbia, the
University of Victoria or elsewhere. The maximum total graduating class from
Engineering Science at SF11 would not be expected to exceed 75.
Flexibility is a keynote in the planned program. This has a number of
dimensions:
- Opportunities for elective choice in the program are maximized, as is the
use of tutorials and directed study.
14
- The curriculum prescribes general requirements in various areas of
engineering, science and mathematics rather than emphasizing the require-
ments entirely in terms of specific courses.
- There will be opportunities for both full and part-time study, particularly
in the early years of the program.
- The SF11 semester system will be utilized to give students the widest pos-
sible access to courses and programs.
- Special efforts will be made to facilitate entry to the engineering program
by students who have technological qualifications from the British Columbia
Institute of Technology or the B.C. regional colleges.
- Laboratories will be open for 12 ;ours daily allowing specific scheduling
for individuals and small groups, thereby easing conflicts between lahora-
tory sessions and lecture schedules.
The versatility and flexibility of the program will be based on the limited
enrollment and on a carefully crafted core program which will give students
ample opportunity to draw on the existing and varied resources of Simon Fraser
University.
Of special note in the above list is the potential for students with
qualifications in technology to obtain qualifications in engineering. In high
technology engineering, individuals who have dual strengths in technological
practicalities and the engineering conceptualizations and analyses have a
particularly good future. Additionally, engineering science at SF11 should
reflect the university's overall orientation towards mature students with
diverse backgrounds of education and experience. In the light of these
considerations, planning is underway to incorporate a conversion program by
means of which students with a background in technology may he efficiently
prepared for the study of engineering.
is
As befits 'a program emphasizing high-technology, educational technology
would be expected to play a
role in bringing more specialized courses in
engineering science to the: ciips than would otherwise be possible given the
relatively small number of faculty, Hopefully, the Knowledge Network* will
allow access to courses at UBC and U. Vic. We would expect also to utilize
video tapes available from the ?1assachusettes Institute of Technology and
other outstanding universities This would expand the scope of courses
available and at the same time expose the students to instructors with the
highest international standing.The expanding technology of computer graphics
is rapidly finding its way into the practice of engineering and will receive
major emphasis as a tool for learning, conceptualization, design and
analysis. It is expected that this emphasis on educational technology will
relieve faculty and teaching assistants from certain routine classroom and
laboratory duties so that they can work with students individually and in
small groups, following the concept of the SPU tutorial system.
Since by definition Engineering Science is concerned with rapidly
developing and emergent technolpgies, an important and on-going feature of
this program will be courses, taught by eminent engineers and scientists
brought to Simon Fraser as yi.siting faculty. We also plan to utilize the
engineering expertise now
'isident in Vancouver through part-time sessional
appointments and through joint-appointments with organizations involved with
research, development and advanced engineering.
An internship is planned as an important feature of every student's
program. This would invqlve the student in a period of combined work and
study in an appropriate industrial or institutional setting. He or she would

16
be required to take an intensive program of study (which we call a
concentration) aimed at coming to an in-depth understanding of a specific area
of advanced technology. A project would be undertaken under the direction of
an engineer or scientist working in the organization in which the internship
was being spent. This would involve considerable cooperation between
Engineering Science at SFU and the participating organization, and would
require specific budget provision. University equipment might well be used in
undertaking the project and the student might be located either at the Univer-
sity, or at the outside organization or divide his time between the two. An
undergraduate thesis, based on the proj€:t undertaken during this internship,
would be required. The internship is seen as an important component of the
bridge that must be built between the SRI Engineering Science program and the
Discovery Parks and other high-technology industries and institutions.
It is expected that most or all of the programs will be available either
on a regular or co-op basis. Both approaches would feature the internship.
The following diagram shows how the students schedule of work (W), study (1 to
8) and internship (I) semesters could be scheduled.

Note that the first internship semester is a work period and that the second
is an academic semester as well as an internship semester. The students in
the two streams will be together for the last two of their regular academic
sessions and that only one upper division semester occurs in the suTruner.
Those two points are very important from the point of view of operational
efficiency.
17
While the document does not address graduate studies, the very concept of
Engineering Science implies the existence of a substantial level of graduate
work. This would begin coincident with undergraduate studies. Consideration
is also being given to combined programs resulting in the joint award of a
bachelor's and a master's degree, after five years of study. Regular graduate
degrees would be highly research based, more in the British tradition than the
North American. Engineering Science programs typically lead more to graduate
work than do the usual Engineering programs, and this is reflected in our
planning.
A special feature of the Faculty of Engineering Science is to be research
and development centres. which would span the engineering and science disci-
plines of the full program. Drawing faculty and students from a range of
disciplines, these centers would focus on areas such as micro-electronics,
information processing, robotics, bio-medical engineering, and energy. Each
faculty member would he required to be a member of at least one centre.
The faculty members would be expected, even in the initial years of
program development, enrolment growth. and curricular "fine-tuning", to be
active in applied research, development or advanced engineering. Contract
research, high-technology consulting and the like would have strong priority
over the more conventional "curiosity directed" research of university
faculty.
The general approach just described serves to define the major elements
of the program. In the remainder of this document, the curricular details
will be provided. A basic thesis of the program structure is that the courses
to be specifically required should be kept to a minimum, that constrained
electives be generally prescribed, and that a substantial number of options be
available. This gives both the student and the University maximum operational
scope.

so either in the Engineering Science program or in pre-engineering. Admission
to Engineering Science is restricted and a high level of academic attainment
must be reached to continue in the program. However, students with general
admission to the University may enter the pre-engineering program which may
lead to admission to Engineering Science at SFU, to transfer to other programs
at the University, or to transfer to engineering programs at other universities.
All students wishing to study engineering must obtain admission to the
University. Entry to the Engineering Science program will then be judged on
the basis of whether the student should be able to attain the necessary
standing, and will require Grade 12 mathematics, physics and chemistry (or
• ?
equivalent). Normally, students continuing in Engineering Science will be
expected to maintain a Ctinmulative Grade Point Average of 3.0 ('B' standing).
All other students will be classified to be in pre-engineering.
Only the Engineering Science program leads to a degree in engineering at
Simon Fraser University. Pre-engineering students can obtain a degree only by
transferring to a degree program at SFU or elsewhere.
2. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
No student may graduate in Engineering Science without satisfying the
requirement for a minimum of relevant practical experience. Completion of the
internship is the normal way to obtain this experience. The student may also
elect a Co-operative Education ('or sandwich) program of alternate work and
study sessions or a Co-operative Education program in which the work sessions
occur in the
summer only. ?
Alternatively,
the student may
decide not to enter
either co-op
program, preferring to plan
his '
own sequence
of study and non-
study semesters. In all cases, the internship is required.
Flo

The decision whether or not to
.
enter co-op program A with alternating
study and work semesters, or program B with simmer work sessions only, need
not be taken until the deadline for application for ENSC 195-0, Job Practicun
I. This will be at or before registration in the preceeding academic
semesters, following the sequences:

where A denotes an academic, semester and W a work semester. Upon completion
of the Engineering Science program on a co-op basis, either "co-op student,
six work sessions" or "co-op student, three work sessions" is noted on the
student's transcript. While the co-op program is not obligatory, once the
program is
begun,
the student may not depart from the A or B schedule as first
chosen, without permission. Otherwise, no further registration in the co-op
program is allowed and the co-op
designation
on the transcript is withheld.
Whether studying in the co-op program or not, every student must complete
ENSC 497, Internship I, hefor6 registration in the final year of the program
and ENSC
498,
Internship II, before graduation. Registration in ENSC
497
coincides with a work session and registration in ENSC 498 coincides with the
final academic session. During ENSC 498, the student engages in supervised
study and practical work in research, development or advanced engineering. A
thesis based on the undergraduate project is based on this activity.

3.2 Engineering Science Core (48 hours of courses and 6 hours of laboratory)
Several options are available in the engineering science core of the
program, with an overriding objective to provide a combination of both breadth
and depth. These alternatives are described below in very general terms, but
the prerequisite requirements of the desired concentration area and normal
courses prerequisites must be carefully studied in the selection of particular
courses. Overall the requirements are: at least*
(a)
nine semester-hours in the mathematical sciences (see page 49);
(b)
six
semester-hours of laboratory;
(c)
18 semester-hours in one of computing (see page 50), electrical (see
page 51), mechanical (see page 52); or chemical sciences (see page
53);
(d)
nine semester-hours in one of computing, electrical, mechanical,
chemical or life sciences (see page 54), other than that chosen in
(c), but contiguous to it;
(e)
nine-semester hours in engineering science outside the areas chosen
in (c) and (d); and
* Courses in the various engineering science core subject areas are
identified on the attached lists. It should be noted that these lists
give only the core subjects. More advanced and specialized courses are
listed in the descriptions of the various concentration areas.
S

23
(f) three semester-hours in any of the engineering science core subject
areas.
.
In addition to these general distribution rules, the students program must
satisfy one of the following core requirements:
Core A - 27 semester-hours from the electrical and computing sciences;
Core B - 18 semester-hours from the mechanical sciences, and nine
seinster-hours in the electrical and/or chemical sciences;
Core C - 18 semester-hours from the chemical sciences, and nine semester
hours in the mechanical and/or life sciences.
The extent to which these courses are elective depends on the intended
concentration area, each of which has a list of prerequisites to be taken as
part of the engineering science core.
3.3 Concentration and Project (30 hours of courses and 17 hours of
laboratory and thesis.)
Concentration studies require a minimum of 48 semester-hours and

3.4 General Studies
This section of the engineering program deals with the so-called non-
technical part of the program. The primary objective is to develop an aware-
ness of general social, economic and managerial factors which affect
engineering and scientific work. In the case of the communications course,
25
however, the aim is that each graduate will master the modes of communication
necessary for his professional work. Particular course requirements are:

4. DETAILS OF THE CONCENTRATION AREAS
The concentration portion of the program requires 30 semester hours of
courses, six semester-hours of laboratory and project work of 11 semester-
hours, for a total of 47 semester-hours. Also included is the internship
which aims to place the student in an industrial, development or research
environment for project work and related specialized study. This internship
may take place within the University but even then the project supervisor is
likely to be associated with an external organization.
Three of the nine courses are associated with the internship and may be
selected from the lists of required and elective courses. Alternatively other
appropriate courses may be substituted or the student may register in as many
as nine-semester-hours of directed study. This work is usually under the
guidance of a faculty member or the external supervisor.
Each concentration area has a list of prerequisite courses which are
normally taken as part of the Engineering Science core. If not, they must be
taken as electives or as requirementS beyond the 160 semester-hour minimum.
S
26
The areas of specialization, or concentration, are computer engineering,
electronics and communications, engineering physics (with an electronics and a
nuclear option), biomedical engineering, industrial processes (with a
manufacturing and a process control option), engineering mathematics (with an
applied mechanics, and a computing and communications option), biotechnology,
energy systems (with an energy processes and an energy systems option), and
engineering chemistry. The details of these specializations are described in.

4.8 ENGINEERING MAThThIATICS
The engineering mathematics program contains two options: "applied
mechanics" and "computing and communications". The study of applied mechanics
prepares the student for the wide diversity of applications in engineering
where the capability to undertake advanced mechanical and structural analyses
is vital. This is a field which is specialized in its focus but broad in its
applications. The computing and communications option has been designed for
students with an interest in the general area of applied computing, electrical
and systems science, but who wish to develop a more theoretical and
mathematical foundation. Graduates would normally undertake post-graduate
studies and, later, work in the fields of communications and computing.

ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT
This final section deals with the position of Engineering Science within
the organizational structure of Simon Fraser University, and with the
development of the program from its present state as an engineering transfer
program to the steady-state program described in the foregoing. A range of
development scenarios is described in order to illustrate the flexibility of
the proposal in responding to various financial and academic circtinstanCeS.
ORGANI ZATION
It is proposed that this professional program be the responsiblity of the
Faculty of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser established on a non-
departmentalized basis. As this new Faculty will be small in size, the
•
?
regular organization of a Faculty would be inappropriate. Table 1 itemizes a
structure which provides the essential committees even in the very early years
of development.
SCI-LELIJLE OF
DEVELOPMENT
OF ENGINEERING
SCIENCE
Presently, Engineering Science at SF11 is staffed at the level
of a
director, an assistant to the director and a secretary. The major activity is
planning but some effort is being put into improving the organization of the
existing transfer program. A $200,000 grant has been provided for these
activities.
The detailed development schedule will depend on a number of factors,
many of which are not known at this time. Our planning is for a staged
evolution of the program, and the particular schedule laid out in the
•
?
following is but one of a number of possible scenarios. Actual development
could be somewhat faster and certainly considerably slower. Work is presently
underway to identify the possibilities more clearly.

S
It is unlikely, in fact, that the program in ten years time will
follow exactly the format defined in the proposal.
?
ScRile of the options
will develop as defined.
?
Others may well not become operational.
Certainly, over time, new or radically changed concentrations will be
designed. ?
For now, we can only assume that all aspects of the proposed
program will come into being and project its growth on that basis.
For 1982-83, it is proposed to move into an early development stage
which would involve detailed planning, initial development work on
courses and laboratories, and the recruitment of faculty.
?
Special
efforts would be directed.towards informing prospective students of
Engineering Science at SFU and beginning the coordination of the
internship program.
?
Prospective faculty would be engaged on a
consultative basis to aid this work and initial faculty appointments
could begin in this period.
The first offering of Year 2 of Enginering Science would begin in
1983-84 and course and laboratory development for Years 3 and 4 would
continue, with special emphasis on educational technology and computer
graphics. ?
Recruitment of faculty would continue.
In 1983-84, a restricted enrollment class would begin in the
electrical/computer area of the program.
?
Starting with this single
program area will allow for a more orderly development, and will keep
the program restricted in size in the period before permanent space
becomes available. ?
Inevitably, extensive "fine-tuning' will be needed
particularly in the innovative parts of the program, and this will allow
the other two program areas to develope with the experience gained in
S
the electrical/computer area.
?
Starting with this particular emphasis is
recommended because many of the computer engineering courses will be
61
common to the whole program and because SRI has more existing strengths
here than elsewhere in Engineering Science. As a matter of policy to
allow for sound development efforts before regular operational
requirements become dominant, each program area will hold year 3 level
enrollment to 10 students for the first year and 15 for the second year.
In 1984-85 the other two program areas will begin at the Year 3
?
level, and the whole program will then evolve to its steady-state level.
Graduate studies and research must be a significant part of the
work in Engineering Science from the beginning. Development of the
undergraduate program cannot be at the price of the loss of the Faculty
members research momentum. Faculty research would begin with their
arrival on campus and the first graduate students would be expected in
S
?
the Fall of 1984.
Following this development schedule, the enrollment projection is
given in Table 2, the growth of staff in Table 3 and the financial
requirements in Table 4. In addition to these costs, a portion of the
capital equipment costs would be required prior to the equipping of the
new building so as to permit. the development of labs as required by the
proposed schedule.

E4SC 100-6 Engineering Communications
Rationale
The objective of this course is to develop tF. student's written, verbal
and graphical communication skills to an acceptable level. The basic premise
is that these skills are best learned and demonstrated in the context of the
student's work in engineering. Evaluations of laboratory reports, course
essays, and project reports will, as a result, he central to this course.
Demonstrated competence is required and unsatisfactory work is returned to the
student to he done again. Communication skills must be demonstrated at a
satisfactory level before the student will receive course credit.
Calendar Description
This course is spread throughout the duration of the engineering program.
It is concerned with written, verbal and graphical. communications. Course
credit is obtained by demonstration of a proficiency in the skills of
engineering communication.
For the most part the need for communications will arise in various
courses in the program such as in laboratory reports, course essays and
project reports. Other activities will he specified for the particular
engineering program in which the student is enrolled. The final report and
interim oral report on the thesis project undertaken during the final semester
of the program will be components of ENSC 100. This course will also include
essays based on the guest lecturer series. Visual literacy, utilization of
information resources such as libraries and computer graphics are within the
scope of this course.
Particular requirements will he specified as the student progresses with
his studies. A resource centre, tutorials, self-instructional materials,
audio-visual materials, lectures, mini-courses and other instructional methods
2
are utilized to aid the student in acquiring these skills which are considered
important in the practice of the engineering profession. The student will
formally register for the course in the semester in which all requirements are
completed. Normally this will be the final semester. The course is graded on
a credit/no entry basis.

497 Internship I
This is the first session of the internship and comprises a semester of
work experience arranged through the Co-operative Education program. The
objectives of the sessions are to gain relevant practical experience and to
prepare for ENSC 498, Internship II, during which the work undertaken leads to
the student's undergraduate thesis. FQr co-op students this is the final
semester of work experience.
ThSC 498 Internship II
This is the second session of the internship and is coincided with the
student's last semester of academic work. The student's time in this session
is devoted to supervised study (course registration is separate and
appropriate to the student's program) and to supervisçd research, development
or advanced engineering work leading to the undergraduate thesis. The locale
of this work may he external to the Univerity or within a University
laboratory, and supervision may he external, internal or shared. In any
event, the work is to be relevant to the activities of the external
organization or an on-going University research project.
ENSC 499-11 Engineering Science Project
A thesis is based on the research, development and engineering project
undertaken in the student's internship. This period of internship normally
occurs during a combined academic and internship semester (corresponding to
the eighth and final acadmeic semester of work) and the previous work
period. The locale of the internship may be external to the University or in
a University research laboratory, or may bridge the two locations.

Supervision may he external, or by a faculty member, or joint, quite
independent of the principal location of the activity. Registration for ENSC
499 takes place in the semester in which the thesis will be presented and
defended. Formal approval from the Faculty of Engineering Science must
preceed any but the most preliminary work on the topic chosen. Grading will
be on a Pass/Fail basis, but with recognition of outstanding work.

Engineering Program
Our initial estimate of library support costs, dated 80/11/17,
was constructed with reference to the Engineering Program proposal
of that year. The small change (from $25,000 to $30,000) you
have made in my original estimate of non-recurring costs is
entirely consistent with our conlinuing inflation and the shift
in program emphasis from the traditional engineering disciplines
to a rather more research-oriented high technology program.
Again, it should be stated that library support for the SFU pro-
gram requires acquisition of basic and current library.materials.
It is intended that we depend on area resources for depth of
• ?
support, and this is consistent with our present utilization of
U.B.C. resources in particular.
,
You have noted the great dis-
crepancy between our proposed library support costs and those
of the University of Victoria. I can only affirm that U.Vic
library staff did not participate in the construction of this
estimate by the U.Vic consultants. This amount is far in excess
of the needs of an undergraduate engineering program.
