A. Students commencing their studies at The University of Western Ontario

Students in this program will study Physics for their first two years. They will then transfer to Fanshawe College, where they will study for a further two years and three months in either Electronics Engineering Technology, or Control Engineering Technology. Students in both programs work for a total of sixteen months in CO-OP placements. Successful candidates will be awarded a Three-Year BSc in Physics, and a Diploma from Fanshawe College. Students may also choose to study for one additional semester in the Electrical Engineering Technology program and will be granted a second Diploma from Fanshawe College.


Admission Requirements

A first year program with:

Physics 020, 024, or the former 025, or Physics 026

Computer Science 025a/b or 026a/b plus 027a/b, each with a minimum mark of 60%

One Arts and Humanities or Social Science course

One option


Second Year

Physics 201a/b and 202a/b, or the former 200
Physics 259E, 277a/b(no credit)

One of Calculus 250a/b or 280a/b plus one of Calculus 251a/b or 281a/b, or Applied Mathematics 275 or 276 or 277

0.5 option numbered 200 or above in Physics or Astronomy

1.5 options numbered 100 or higher.


Note:

Options that will be particularly useful in this program include courses in Applied Mathematics, Business, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics. Students should take a half-course in linear algebra before the end of their second year. Applied Mathematics 275, 276 and 277 all have Applied Mathematics 025a/b and 026 as prerequisites. Students transferring from Engineering will have to include Computer Science 027a/b in their second year. Students should consult a counsellor in the appropriate department before selecting their options.


Second Year Summer Term

Students will transfer in May to Fanshawe College, to complete Level Three of the common first year of the Electronics and Control Engineering programs. They will spend the next eight months as CO-OP students in industry. At the end of this experience, students must choose to study either Electronics Engineering or Control Engineering.


Registration

In Years One and Two, students will register and pay fees at The University of Western Ontario. For Levels Three to Six, students will register and pay fees at Fanshawe College.
