Graduate and Research Programme Graduate Credit in Electrical Engineering
Graduate credit is measured in “units.” A unit is a course at the graduate level taken for one semester, and which requires, as a prerequisite, preparation at the Bachelor’s level. Two units are given to a graduate course which con-
Department of Electrical Engineering
tinues for two semesters. Senior undergraduate courses as approved by the Electrical Engineering Department may be allowed as credit for graduate students at one-half unit per semester. For each student, no more than two units total credit can be given to undergraduate courses.
Students transferring from other universities of recognized standing may be allowed a maximum of two units for graduate courses previously taken. No graduate credit is given for any undergraduate course taken at other universities.
A normal full-time load is four units per semester. Under exceptional cases a student is permitted to take a maximum load of five units for a semester. For part-time students, the maximum load is reduced from four units per semester by one unit for each seven hours per week of employment or outside work.
The Master’s Degree Programme
The Master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering is designed to be flexible, and to accommodate both regular full-time and co-operative part-time students.
A complete programme consists of at least ten units. Each student’s programme must be approved by the Electrical Engineering Department, and is worked out in advance with a professor who acts as an advisor.
The student’s course work is considered unsatisfactory, and he is required to discontinue, if more than one course in Electrical Engineering receives a grade below 66%, or more than two courses in fields other than Electrical Engineering receives a grade below 66%.
An essential ingredient in a graduate programme is opportunity for individual work. To be recommended for a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, a candidate must submit either a Research Thesis (EE 699) or an Engineerjng Report (EE 698). Topics are worked out in discussion with the faculty, and the project is done under the direct supervision of a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, and is finally approved and accepted by that professor. A thesis under EE 699, five units, and a project under EE 698, two units. It is not possible to obtain credit under both EE 698 and EE 699 for the same degree.
All course work and thesis for the Master’s degree must be completed within four consecutive academic years. It is possible for a full-time student of exceptional ability to complete the requirements for the Master’s degree in one academic year.
The Ph.D. Programme
The major objective of the Ph.D. programme is to emphasize the importance of performing original research of high calibre. The requirements of the comprehensive examination, the supervising committee, course work, and the

In Year I the prospective English major should select English 101, Philosophy 100, Science 100, at least one of French 100, German 100, and Latin 100, and other subjects in accord with the general regulations.
For the session 1966-67 the following regulations will obtain: In Year II the English major shall complete at least English 201 and 251. In Year III he shall complete (a) English 301, (b) another English course
chosen from the whole range of courses offered (except 225 and 335), and (c) either English 345 (Senior Essay) or an Honours English course.
Note on numbering: English 101 and 300 are designed for both Honours and General students. Otherwise courses numbered 250-299, 350-399, and 450-499 are Honours courses. and all others are General courses.
Course Descriptions
Note: The number of hours or lectures shown after the course description is an attempt to indicate the “normal”; each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet.
Designed for students in Applied Physics and Cooperative Mathematics, this course seeks to further the understanding and appreciation of the various types of English literature and of the humanistic values to be found in it. Since such understanding cannot be separated from the clear and effective communication of the ideas concerned, students are required to write a number of essays on topics related to the literature studied. 3 lectures.
