Elective courses in years three and four are to be chosen from Electives Lists A and B, and by consulting suggested Streams and prerequisite paths. Your complete degree program must:
- Exceed the minimum Accreditation Units (AU) set by ECE in each CEAB category.
- Have at least 5 courses from Electives List A.
- Have at least 5 four-hundred level elective courses.
- Counting required core courses and elective courses in all four years, result in a total of no fewer than 160.5 credits for the complete program.
Available combinations of elective courses are subject to timetabling constraints.

Course Prerequisites
Normally, registration in a course offered by the ECE Department is allowed provided a mark of at least D- has been achieved in each of the prerequisites for the course. Students having one course prerequisite (numbered 200 or higher) with a mark of FR may still be able to register in a course offered by the Department provided their Engineering Cumulative GPA is at least 2.0 at the end of the previous session. Prerequisites are listed under the calendar description for each course.
Complementary Studies
ECEi students are required to take a total of five Complementary Studies courses over 2nd, 3rd and 4th year: one elective Complementary Studies course from List A (Humanities and Social Sciences) and the required four courses COMM 201 Introduction to Business for Entrepreneurs, COMM 301 Funding New Ventures, COMM 302 Launching New Ventures, and COMM 405 New Business Development.
Communications units are included within the design courses APSC 200 Engineering Design & Practice II and APSC 293 Engineering Communications, ELEC 390 Principles of Design and Development, and ELEC 498 Computer Engineering Project.
