University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Calendar 2000 - 2001 CHAIR:
FIRST YEAR STUDIES COUNSELLOR:
In their first year of studies, engineering students must establish a strong foundation in the basic disciplines underlying the whole field of engineering, i.e. mathematics and science. In addition, students are given opportunities to broaden their education through the two complementary studies courses. The First Year Engineering Curriculum is designed for students who intend to continue in one of the following programs in Second Year: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Mineral Engineering. Students are admitted to one of these programs on entering first year. This guarantees a place in that program in second and subsequent years, subject to maintenance of satisfactory standing. Students who complete the first year with a clear record in one of the above programs are often able to transfer to other programs. (see Academic Regulations for details). Students wishing to transfer to a different program at the end of first year must submit their requests to the First Year Office not later than May 18, 2001. The First Year Engineering Science curriculum shown in
the Engineering Science program section. Transfers
from Engineering Science to other programs are permitted in the first three
weeks of the fall session, at the end of the fall session, and at the end
of the first year. (see Academic Regualtions
for details).
The academic year consists of two sessions, fall and winter. Students take five courses per session. all courss have equal weight. Timetables, detailing which courses students will take in each session, will be provided to students after pre-registration. Applied Science Courses (3 courses)
Mathematics Courses (3 courses)
i) The two calculus courses and the one linear algebra course are taught in two different versions. Both versions cover primarily the same material. In the applications-oriented version of each course (MAT186, MAT187 and MAT188), the practical applications of the material are emphasized. The formal version of each course (MAT196, MAT197 and MAT198) take a more conceptual approach to the material where geometric and physical intuition together with precision and rigour are emphasized. ii) Students in any program may select any combination of applications-oriented and formal math courses, and will be prepared to enter into their Second Year. However, the formal versions provide a superior foundation for the physics and mathematical material in the upper years of Electrical and Computer Engineering. For this reason, students in either of these two programs, who have taken Calculus and Algebra & Geometry in high school, are encouraged to select the formal versions. Computer Course (1 course)
Program-specific Course (1 course)
