NOTES

All courses are core courses except for technical 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.

Technical complementaries are selected from a prescribed list offered by the Departments of Computer Science and 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).
