NOTES

All courses are core courses except for technical, laboratory and general complementary courses. Core courses are shown in boldface above. All core courses must be passed with a grade "C" or better. Also, a grade of "C" is required for an ECSE xxx core course in order to proceed with its follow-on ECSE xxx course(s), and a grade of "C" is required for a MATH xxx course in order to proceed with its follow-on MATH xxx course(s). A grade of "D" is only acceptable for non-core courses.

Laboratory complementaries are normally taken in conjuction with a technical complementary. The courses ECSE 426, Microprocessor Systems, ECSE 431, Intro. to VLSI CAD and ECSE 435, Mixed Signal Test Techniques, can be taken as a technical complementary or a lab complementary.

Technical complementaries are selected from the list of 400-level courses offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

General complementary studies requirements consist of 3 credits from a special list which relate to the Impact of Technology on Society and 3 credits from a special list of Humanities and Social Sciences and, Administrative Studies and Law (see Section 3.4, Page 167 of the 2003-2004 McGill University Calendar).
