Degree Planning Sheets

All students are expected to complete a preliminary course plan for their intended degree program (10-course for MEng or 4-course for GCEN) with the Senior Academic Advisor by the end of their first semester of study. The Degree Planning Sheet lists the core and technical elective requirements for each program, and all courses that are pre-approved for that program. Alternative technical electives must be approved by the same academic advisor. 

Degree planning sheets for all academic programs can be found here.

For additional course information, please refer to the MAGE Course Catalog, where you can find course syllabi and/or course intro videos for ENPM and ENAI courses, as well as the Graduate School Catalog, where you can review the course descriptions for courses offered in the other engineering areas.
