Graduate Curriculum Changes
January 4, 2012
Please find enclosed the following graduate curriculum changes for the School of
Engineering Science approved at the December 20, 2011 meeting of the Faculty
of Applied Sciences Graduate Program Committee.
v
1. Change to the Engineering Science PhD program.
This chanee allows the course ENSC 820^3 to be used towards the PhD, but not
towards the mandatory 6 credits of ENSC technical courses. This is
documented with the memo entitled "Major Program Change" of December 2,
2011 as well as the consequent course change form for ENSC 820.
2.
Update to the.de'scription and prerequisite for ENSC 853.
J
Please place these items on the agenda of the next SGSC meeting.

RE
Major Program Change
DATE
December 2, 2011
1)
Statement here re: proposed program change:
The School of Engineering Science
would like to change the program
requirements for the PhD program to include, ENSC 820-3 -
Engineering Management for Development Projects, as an optional
course for credit.
2)
Statement as to how this change will affect the existing programme:
This change willbe a benefit to doctoral students currently in the
program, as we believe a project management course is an important
component of the doctoral learning experience and that our PhD
students should have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to take this
course.
3)
Justification for change:
This change will give the opportunity for our PhD students to take, for
credit, a course that will provide managerial and reporting practices
typical of engineering development projects.
4) Current Calendar Language:
Course Requirements
The minimum requirement is 18 units beyond that of the MAScdegree.
Six of these units will be for prescribed courses in the specialization in
which the student is enrolled. Alternatives can be substituted with the
approval of the student's supervisory committee. At most, six units may
be senior undergraduate courses. At most, six units may be directed
studies. At least six units must be within engineering science,
although
ENSC 820-3 may not be used towards these six units.

Previous Credit
If the subject matter of a listed course has been previously completed with
graduate credit, the course may not be completed again for credit.
Qualifying Examination
To qualify the student will submit a brief written research proposal and defend it
orally to his/her supervisory committee within the first 24 months of admission.
The proposal'sdefence will be judged according to the feasibility and scientific
merits of the proposed research, and demonstration
of a sophisticated
understanding of general material in the student's major area of research. This
level of understanding is associated with senior undergraduate and first year
graduate course material.
The possible outcomes of the qualifying examination are 'pass,' 'marginal' and
'fail.' Astudent with 'marginal' will be required to re-submit the research proposal
and defend it for the second and final time within six months and/or to complete
more courses. A'failing'grade requires withdrawal.
Thesis
Students define and undertake original research, the results of which are reported
in a thesis. An examining committee is formed as defined in graduate general
regulation 1.9.3. Students conform to residence requirements (see graduate general
regulation 1.7.3). The senior supervisor will be an engineering science faculty
approved by the graduate program committee.
The student's progress will be reviewed every 12 months by a supervisory
committee of three or more faculty members. At each annual review, the student
presents a summary of his/her work to date, with the first review being the research
proposal defence described in the section for Qualifying Examination (see above).
