Introduction
SCUS 13-10c
Computing Science 2013-2014 Curriculum Revision
Faculty of Applied Sciences Curriculum Committee
Richard Vaughan and Robert D. Cameron
February 25,2013
The following curriculum revisions are proposed for the School of Computing Science for the Fall
2013 calendar.
1. Course prerequisite changes: CMPT 102,126, and 379. Forms are attached.
2. Revision to the Certificate in Computing Studies.
3. Revision to internal transfer regulations for the Computing Science major.
4. Suspension of Admissions-Multimedia Computing Specialist Major. Document attached.
5. Suspension of Admissions - Software Engineering Specialist Major. Document attached.
Revision to the Certificate in Computing Studies
The certicate is indended for non-CS majors. An exclusion statement is added to enforce this
restriction. Without this exclusion, all CS majors are qualified for the certicate before graduation, and
some have exploited this to gain a redundant qualification.
Current
Proposed
This program provides both part-time and full-
time students with an opportunity to understand
the fundamentals of computers and programming
without necessarily specializing in computing
science.
This program provides both part-time and full-
time students with an opportunity to understand

without necessarily specializing in computing
science.
Current SFU Computing Science
students in
Major or Honours programs (or
related
joint programs) may not apply to this
program.
Revision to Internal Transfer Regulations
The following following courses are added as eligible courses for transfer into a Burnaby or Surrey
CMPT program. (1) CMPT 130-3, CMPT 135-3, CMPT 276-3; and (2) ENSC 250-3. Rationale in
each case: (1) These are recently created coursesand this change should have been made when they
were created. They are versions of CMPT 120,125 and 275 respectively, adapted for the Software
Systems program. (2) ENSC 250 is equivalent to CMPT 250.
These changes are made to the internal transfer regulations (listed under Admission Requirements) of
each of the following programs.
1. Computing Science Major
2. Software Systems Major
3. Computing Science Honours
4. Computing Science and Linguistics Joint Major

Current
Internal Transfer
Internal transfer allows students to transfer, within
Simon Fraser University, from one faculty to
another. Once students have completed the three
qualifying courses, they can apply for internal
transfer into the School of Computing Science.
Simon Fraser University students applying for
School of Computing Science admission are
selected on the basis of an admission computing-
related grade point average (CRGPA). The
CRGPA is calculated over the best three courses
chosen as follows.
• one mathematics course chosen from
MACM 101, 201, MATH 150 (or 151),
152 and 240 (or 232)
• one computing course chosen from CMPT
125 (or 126 or 128), 150, (or ENSC 150),
225, 250 and 275
• one additional mathematics or computing
science course chosen from the above lists
No course may be included in the average if it is a
duplicate of any previous course completed at
Simon Fraser University or elsewhere. All three
courses must be completed prior to application.
For complete information, contact an Applied
Sciences Advisor.

Suspension of Admission - Multimedia Computing Specialist Major
The entire calendar entry for this major is to be replaced with the following statement: "Normal
admission to the Multimedia Computing Specialist Major has been suspended effective September 1,
2013. Admission appeals will be considered until December 31,2013. Students are still able to take the
same classes, but no special certification will be available."
Suspension of Admission - Software Engineering Specialist Major
The entire calendar entry for this major is to be replaced with the following statement: "Normal
admissionto the Software EngineeringSpecialistMajor has been suspended effective September1,
2013. Admission appeals will be considered until December 31, 2013. Students interested in software
engineering are urged to consider the more modern SoftwareSystems Major offering a comprehensive
systems and software engineering curriculum. "

MSE 480-3. When introduced, the course was created with the 3-0-1-1 vector in
the outline, with the intention that it be a 4-credit course. However, preparation of
the paperwork mistakenly used only the lecture-hours in setting the course credit
value.

Introduction
SCUS 13-10a REVISED
Engineering Science 2013-2014 Curriculum Revision
Faculty of Applied Sciences Curriculum Committee
Atousa Hajshirmohammadi and Robert D. Cameron
March 21, 2013
The School of Engineering Science proposes two overall curriculum changes for 2013-14: a new
common first-year curriculum for the all engineering science and consolidation and streamlining of the
biomedical engineering option.
First-year Curriculum
The essence of the first-year curriculumchangeis to createa stronger cohort experience and better
preparation for engineering work through the introduction of ENSC 120-1 as a new first semester
course in electronics engineeringinstrumentation, and of ENSC 180-3 as a new second semester course
in engineering analysis. ENSC 120-1 replaces PHYS 131-2 in the curriculum, while ENSC 180-3 will
be accommodated by the compression of ENSC 150, ENSC 215 and ENSC 250 into a two-course
sequence. That compressionwill be introduced for 2014-2015. In addition, the ENSC 101W-1 and
ENSC 102 courses are replaced by ENSC 105W-3.
Biomedical Engineering Option
The change here is to eliminate the notion of specialized concentrations as suboptions to this option.
Maintaining three separate concentrations that differ only in some elective requirements is
unsustainable.
The new structure going forward is implemented by deleting two of the concentrations
(premedical, biomedical signals and instrumentation) and modifying the remaining concentration.
Summary of Changes
1. New course proposals:
a) ENSC 120-1 Introduction to Electronics Laboratory Instruments
b) ENSC 180-3 Introduction to Engineering Analysis
The new course proposals and outlines are attached.
2. Course prerequisite changes: ENSC 220 and ENSC 380.
3. Revisions to the index of ENSC options.
4. Revisions to each of the ENSC options as shown below.
a) Changes to the Engineering Science Major, Computer Engineering Option
b) Changes to the Engineering Science Major, Electronics Engineering Option
c) Changes to the Engineering Science Major, Systems Option
d) Changes to Engineering Science Honours, Biomedical Engineering Option
• consolidate "concentrations"
e) Changes to Engineering Science Honours, Computer Engineering Option
f) Changes to Engineering Science Honours, Electronics Engineering Option
g) Changes to Engineering Science Honours, Engineering Physics Option
h) Changes to Engineering Science Honours, Systems Option
