CMPT128-3, CMPT 225-3 (or permission of the instructor),
and ENSC- 38(H5tudents with credit for ENSC460/895 -
Digital Image Processing and Analysis cannot take this course
for further credit.
RATIONALE
ENSC 460/895 has overlap in content with ENSC 474/895. These courses need to be merged into a single course so that the
requirements ofthe BME curriculum to provide a sequel course to ENSC 374-4 (Introduction to Biomedical Imaging) as well as
that of the ENSC program for a.classical digital image processing course can be satisfied.
Does this course replicate the content ofa previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive credit for both courses?
Ifso, this should be
noted in the prerequisite.
Effective term and vear.
