Options in Engineering
An option within the College of Engineering is a prescribed set of courses that provides a concentration of specialized training in one particular field of study. With an extra area of expertise, more opportunities are available to you when you complete your engineering degree at the University of Saskatchewan.
Professional Communication Option
The
Professional Communication Option consists of six courses (18 credit units) as an optional addition to any of the nine B.E. degrees.
Engineering Entrepreneurship Option
Another addition to an engineering degree is a seven-course business option. Courses consist of basic business classes in accounting, finance, marketing, operations management, human resources management, entrepreneurship, decision making, business law and small business management.
Admission to the option is only available if you have completed 60 credit units toward any of the nine accredited engineering degrees. You will also need credit for a course covering elementary probability and statistics. To complete the option, you will add one course per term in third and fourth years, and complete three more courses in a fifth year.
Options for Chemical Engineering Students
You may choose only one of the following options consisting of at least 18 credit units:
1. Biochemical Option – provides specialization in science/engineering courses applicable to traditional industries in bioprocessing, such as brewing, food, enzymes, gasohol and pharmaceuticals. You will also cover subjects including, but not limited to, molecules of life, biochemical techniques, and industrial waste treatment systems.
2. Petroleum Option – provides the opportunity to take six courses within the chemical engineering program, to give you a focus on petroleum engineering. Subjects studied will include, but not be limited to, physical geology, seismology, and petrochemical engineering.
You may elect to have the option appear on your transcripts at the time of your graduation.
Combined Degree Programs
Students may earn a Bachelor of Engineering degree and a degree from the College of Arts & Science. An additional year to 18 months of study is normally required. Some areas that students have combined with engineering include computer science, mathematics and languages.
Specific second degree programs have been developed for most engineering disciplines which lead to a Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science. Students must complete all of the requirements of the four-year program in Engineering and 30 to 45 credit units in the College of Arts and Science directly related to one arts and science major. Optimum sequences of courses for most disciplines have been developed.
Students interested in the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences may wish to consider a special arrangement of studies which will enable them to complete the work leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree and a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. degree.
