* These courses are equivalent to pre-university introductory courses and may be counted for credit in the student's record, unless these courses were taken in a preliminary year. They may not be counted toward essay or breadth requirements, or used to meet modular admission requirements unless it is explicitly stated in the Senate-approved outline of the module.

Glossary
Prerequisite
A course that must be successfully completed prior to registration for credit in the desired course.
Corequisite
A course that must be taken concurrently with (or prior to registration in) the desired course.
Antirequisite
Courses that overlap sufficiently in course content that both cannot be taken for credit.
Essay Courses
Many courses at Western have a significant writing component. To recognize student achievement, a number of such courses have been designated as essay courses and will be identified on the student's record (E essay full course; F/G/Z essay half-course).
Principal Courses
A first year course that is listed by a department offering a module as a requirement for admission to the module. For admission to an Honours Specialization module or Double Major modules in an Honours Bachelor degree, at least 3.0 courses will be considered principal courses.
The course covers: 1) Introduction to data pipelines, distributed data management, and streamline data processing; 2) Data manipulation and data structure for big data; and 3) Design and implementation of an engineering group project illustrating the machine learning and data engineering concepts being taught.

This course explores the fundamental issues of fairness and bias in machine learning. In addition, the course explores many aspects of building ethical models while considering human bias and dataset awareness. Furthermore, the course will explore fundamental concepts involved in privacy and security of machine learning projects. Topics such as how to protect users from privacy violations while building useful transparent predictive models will be explored.

This course introduces deep learning models for time series data. In this course, the students will become familiar with sequence models and their engineering applications. The students are introduced to Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and commonly - used variants such as Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTMs). In addition, the course introduces transformer architectures and their engineering applications. Students will get hands- on experience with Deep Learning from a series of practical engineering case-studies.

Second large engineering project in the field of main engineering degree illustrating the machine learning and data engineering concepts through design and implementation. The course promotes team interaction in a professional setting. Individual students or project groups are carried out under the supervision of a faculty member. Progress reports and a final engineering report are prepared; each student must deliver a public lecture on the work performed.
