ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROGRAM
Faculty of Engineering - Electrical and Computer Engineering - Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering Program
The Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering program is offered and administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The objective of the program is to educate students in the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, online learning, algorithms and data structure to solve engineering problems.
Students in the Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering program follow the same curriculum for the first year as other engineering students.
Admission Requirements
Students entering the Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering program must have completed the entire first-year program in Engineering, with no outstanding credits to be taken, and have a Year Weighted Average (YWA) of at least 75%. First consideration will be given to applicants with a minimum grade of 60% in each course of the first-year engineering program.
Module/Program Information
Students who entered the Engineering Program in September 2021 will continue to follow their original AISE program progression. MSE students who entered their progression in September 2022 will also have to follow their original AISE program progression.
Second Year Program

Fifth Year Program
AISE 3020A/B, AISE 4050, AISE 4450A/B (or the former ECE 4450A/B), ELI 4110F/G, up to 3.5 credits from the student’s core engineering discipline*, 0.5 credit from AISE technical electives**
AISE Technical Electives:
Computer Science 3340A/B, Computer Science 4417A/B, ECE 4438A/B, ECE 4445A/B, SE 4455A/B, Statistical Sciences 4861A/B.
Some technical electives may not be offered in a given academic year.
* The ‘core engineering discipline’ refers to the accredited engineering degree being taken concurrently with the AISE degree program. Required technical and non-technical core courses, as well as approved technical and non-technical electives are listed under the AISE dual degree option for each engineering discipline.
** AISE technical electives refer to a list of AI-based technical courses approved by the AISE program committee. The list consists of AI-based courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science at Western. The list will be updated every year.
