Program Curriculums


Core engineering program

A substantial part of the work in first and second year is made up of courses common to all 10 engineering disciplines. You will apply to your preferred discipline in the winter term of first year and the elective classes taken in second year will depend on your selected discipline.

Complementary studies

Also an important part of the curriculum is a series of complementary studies classes. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE) requires that an accredited undergraduate engineering degree program must include a minimum of one half year of Complementary Studies which appropriately complement the technical content of the engineering curriculum.  For PEAS programs, students take HIST1800 and 1801.

Chemical Engineering

As a co-op student, you will complement your studies with three paid work terms. Work terms begin in your third year and typically last four months. See more information on applying to co-op.

  Students can take one 3000 level Eng. course/can take a 3000 or 4000 level course from Science
           
  *Students require a 3.00 CGPA to take a graduate level course (5000 or 6000)
           
  Note:  Must have permission from Dr. Ghanem, Undergraduate Coordinator before registering for all technical electives not on this list. (Amyl.Ghanem@dal.ca)
  Send Dr. Ghanem the course #, name and course description when contacting her for permission for a TE not on this list.
  Most Engineering Depts. put a restriction on their courses so you will need to contact that department secretary or instructor for a request to have an override provided.
  Please check Timetable on Banner to determine if a class is offered and when (dal.ca/timetable)
