Ran in 12 terms, Winter 2020 to Fall 2023.
This is a project course, which is open all ECE MEng students with greater than or equal 80% average, after the completion of at least 3 courses. The MEng student will carry out a 4-month research project under the direct supervision of an ECE faculty member. Faculty members will post the projects offered and interview candidates. At the end of the term, a written Project Report will be submitted and evaluated and graded by the Supervisor. ECE research students (MASc and PhD) are NOT eligible to enroll in this course. MEng students must obtain a permission number to register for this course. ECE 699 is not transferrable to the ECE MASc program.

units of graduate-course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor. Each student’s program is subject to approval by the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department. The student must remain registered without interruption in EE 699 until the thesis is submitted. The research work leading to the thesis must be performed under the direction of the Faculty Advisor, and is finally approved and accepted by him.
An Engineering Project Report may be submitted for two units of graduate credit under EE 698. The topic of the report and the remaining eight units of graduate-course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor for approval by the Graduate Studies Committee. The work leading to the report must be performed under the direction of the Advisor and be acceptable to him. Credit may not be obtained for both EE 698 and EE 699.
The time limitations for a Master’s degree are four consecutive academic years for all course work and project or thesis requirements to be completed. The normal program involves three terms of full-time study, which must be extended if three or fewer units per term are taken.
Academic performance must be sufficient that the student receives an average grade of B (66-74%) or more in the course-work portion of his approved study program. At any time, a student may be required to withdraw from the program if he receives a grade of C, (60-66%) or less, in more than one course
in Electrical Engineering, or in more than a total of two course units, including minor fields.
English language requirement: A student whose mastery of spoken English is inadequate may be required to take a non-credit course in English and to pay an additional fee of approximately $25.
The Ph.D. Degree Program
The primary objective of the Ph.D. program is the accomplishment of independent and original research work and reporting thereon in a research thesis. The subsidiary requirements are completion of a suitable course-work program, passing a comprehensive examination, demonstration of reading knowledge of a foreign language, and receiving a satisfactory review by a supervising committee. All of these must be construed as contributing to the competent performance of the research objective.
Admission to the Ph.D. program is based upon the student’s academic record and evidence of ability to pursue independent research. Students must satisfy the requirements of the comprehensive examination as set out in paragraph five. No candidate will be admitted to the Ph.D. program before a Faculty Advisor willing to supervise the candidate’s research is appointed.
Minimum registration requirements for the Ph.D. degree are of two academic years from the Master’s degree level, or equivalent. The maximum time allowed is five consecutive academic years from the same level. Part-time programs are not encouraged, and students may satisfy only the subsidiary requirements of the program on a non-resident basis. A minimum of three terms of full-time resident study are required in those cases where all other requirements have previously been met on a part-time basis.
The course-work associated with the Ph.D. program is intended to provide a foundation for advanced learning in the general field of study as well as for competent research performance in some specific area. While there is no fixed requirement as to the number of credit units to be taken, aside from a usual maximum of eight units, the Advisor and the supervisory committee for each candidate will consider the level and adequacy of each candidate’s preparation in drawing up his specific program.
The Comprehensive Examination; The form of this examination varies with the applicant’s background: 1. Candidates holding master’s degrees from this university will have an oral examination. 2. Candidates having master’s degrees awarded mainly by thesis and able to present themselves for examination, may elect to be examined orally on their thesis topic. 3. Candidates may submit their results in the “Advanced test in engineering” of the ‘Graduate record examination’. * 4. Candidates may request permission to register for the M.A.Sc. If accepted they will then be required to follow three graduate courses in their first term and to obtain at least a 70% average. Successful candidates will then be registered retroactively for the Ph.D.

The foreign language requirement is satisfied by demonstrating proficiency in reading and translating into English, technical literature in either German, Russian or French.
*The G.R-E. is administered by: ‘Graduate Record Examinations’, Educational testing service, 1947 Centre St., Berkeley, California, U.S.A. The applicant must personally arrange and pay for the test ($8 U.S.). Test centres exist at major cities in most countries.

English Major and Note on Numbering English Major in General Arts
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.
Course Descriptions
