No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1967–68 to 1968–69 (before that, 1963–64 to 1966–67 used the number for Seminar); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An engineering assignment requiring the student to demonstrate initiative and assume responsibility. The student will select a project at the end of the IIIB term from an approved list prepared by the Department. A short progress report at the end of the IVA term and a full report at the end of the IVB term are required. The project mark will be equivalent to two normal] one term courses. 2 hours per week first term, 6 hours per week second term, 2 terms.

1967–68 1 calendar
An engineering assignment requiring the student to demonstrate initiative and assume responsibility. Student activity is guided and coordinated by a faculty member. The project will be selected at the end of the IIIB term in consultation with his supervisor. The results are to be communicated in the IVB term as a written report and an oral presentation.
2 terms, 3 hours per week first term, 1 hour per week second term.

Each student is required to investigate in depth a current engineering topic of his choice. Approval of a topic must be obtained from a member of the department prior to the start of the IVA term. The results of the investigation are to be communicated in the [VB term as a written report and in the form of an oral presentation.
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-

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
language examination are all considered aids to performing satisfactory research. Facilities for Ph.D. programmes are available in most fields of study described below and as described in more detail in the Research Brochure.
