The courses in LIST B are designed to expose students
to two inter-related areas: 1) Linkage (the impact of technology on society)
and 2) Professional Issues (the role and responsibility of the professional
engineer in society).
For students first registering in first year
engineering in September 2010 and later:
Linkage and Professional issues content will be
included as part of the Engineering Design and practice sequence courses
included in each year of the program.
For all other students:
Students require a minimum of 3.5 credits in Linkage and Professional Issues. Upper year and transfer students who
will not be taking courses in the Engineering Design and Practice Sequence will
meet the minimum requirement of 3.5 credits in Linkage and Professional issues by
taking having either APSC 190 (no longer offered).
APSC 191
can be
used to satisfy the required 3.5 credits of linkage by permission.
For all students:
Once these Linkage and Professional Issues
requirements have been fulfilled
all
students may take other courses from List B below to help complete their
Complementary Studies requirements. Note that these courses cannot be used to
fulfill any part of the minimum Linkage and Professional Issues requirement of 3.5 credits.
NOTE
: A course
will be accepted as a Linkage credit only if it appears on the list of approved
Linkage courses for the Academic Session in which the course is taken. The
following are the courses approved as PAL credits for the Academic Session
2011-2012.
