students in First Year Engineering. Its purpose is to introduce students to the various features of the Co-operative program and engineering as a profession.
Students may be assigned to a Problems Laboratory by the Director of First-Year Engineering according to their performance during the term.
Courses taken at foreign universities by University of Waterloo Chemical/Civil/ Geological/ElectricayComputer/Mechanical’ Systems Design Engineering students while enrolled in an international exchange program, and reserved for courses without equivalents at the University of Waterloo. Such courses are reported on the student's transcript with their original titles in English. The grades for these courses will be either CR or NCR. The “X” in the above notation denotes the University of Waterloo department in which the student is registered. The specific cases are indicated in the following.
