Notes:

APSC 303 Professional Internship  may be taken as a List B technical elective for students that have successfully completed the internship program (QUIP).

APSC 381 Advanced Design and Skills for Innovation may be taken as a technical elective for students particularly interested in engineering design.

ENPH 491 and ENPH 495 are fourth year Physics List A electives offered every second year which students in their third year can consider taking.

Note: Note: In the third year of the Engineering Physics program students may apply to the Accelerated Masters program. In this program, students work closely with a supervisor in the summer after the third year of school doing research that leads towards a Masters degree in Physics or Engineering Physics. To accelerate students' progress towards a Masters degree, students take two graduate courses in their fourth year. These courses replace the Engineering Elective and a List "A" or List "B" course in the undergraduate program. Students enroll in ENPH 555 for their undergraduate thesis instead of ENPH 455. Students are admitted based on a minimum GPA of 3.7 and acceptance by a supervisor. Students are expected to finish their full Masters degree within 16 months after the undergraduate program, saving a year of time.
