The following six complementary studies half-courses are required for all students in the School:
(a) Engineering 209 (Economics 209)* - not open to first-year students
(b) Engineering 481 or equivalent
Current approved equivalent courses are as follows:
Science, Technology and Society (STAS) 325, Technology within Contemporary Society
Science, Technology and Society (STAS) 327, ScienceĀ in Society
Science, Technology and Society (STAS) 341, New Media, Technology, and Society
Science, Technology and Society (STAS) 343, Canadian Science Policy and Technology Development
(c) Communications Studies 363
(d) Engineering 513, The Role and Responsibilities of the Professional Engineer in Society
(e) For all degrees, two general complementary studies half-course equivalents are required. Energy Management 301, which is required in the Energy and Environment Specialization, counts as a general complementary studies course.
General complementary studies courses must be selected from acceptable courses offered by the Faculty of Arts. A list of acceptable courses may be obtained from the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Schulich School of Engineering. Students are responsible for ensuring that any prerequisite conditions are satisfied. Students who have credit for Communications Studies 361 gained prior to the 2003/04 academic year are not required to take Communications Studies 363.
* Effective the beginning of the Fall 2008 term, students in Chemical Engineering and Oil and Gas Engineering may not use Economics 209 or Engineering 209 as a Complementary Studies course; these students must take three general complementary studies courses. (Exception: Students in Chemical Engineering and Oil and Gas Engineering who obtained credit for Economics 209 or Engineering 209 prior to the Fall 2008 term may have that course counted as a general complementary studies course.)
