Requirements for Graduation

Full details on graduation requirements can be found on the Engineering Science website.

WQB Requirements

Students admitted to SFU in Fall 2006 and after are required to meet the following WQB requirements in order to graduate.

Writing Requirements

6 credits of writing intensive courses, including at least one course from the upper division, preferably within the student's discipline. In ENSC, this requirement is normally met by taking ENSC 100W/101W (corequisites) and ENSC 305/440 (corequisites).

Quantitative Requirements

6 credits of quantitative intensive courses. In ENSC, this requirement is normally met by taking ENSC 150, ENSC 220, ENSC 225, and ENSC 250.

Breadth Requirements

(a) 6 credits of Sciences – B-Sci; (b) 6 credits of Undesignated Breadth -- B-UD (courses taken outside the student's major program); (c) 6 or 9 credits of Social Sciences and Humanities - B-Soc and B-Hum - depending on the option you are in. In ENSC, the B-Sci requirements are met with PHYS 120 and 121. However, if you take PHYS 125/126 instead of PHYS 120/121, the B-Sci requirements will be waived. The B-UD requirements are met with CHEM 121 and CMPT 128. The B-Soc and B-Hum requirements can be met by carefully selecting the complementary electives; please refer to the section on Pre-Approved Complementary Studies Electives for students admitted in Fall 2006 and after for details.
