The three Advanced Technical Electives comprise fourth-year CS or ECE course offerings. Students are advised to plan ahead when selecting ATEs. Most ATEs are not offered every term, and some ATEs have other ATEs as prerequisites. The academic advisors may approve other courses.

The SE Enrichment Opportunities web page gives some guidance on selecting electives strategically.

Three courses, at least one from each of the areas of Societal Issues, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Communications, as specified below. Students should be aware that these courses may have enrolment limits, or may not fit their schedules.

The SE Enrichment Opportunities web page gives some guidance on selecting electives strategically.

One course on Societal Issues:

One additional course on Humanities and Social Sciences:

One course on Communications:

1. There are 10 electives. These electives must include three Advanced Technical Electives, two Science Course Electives, and three Linkage Electives. For their remaining two electives, students may choose to take additional courses from the elective lists above or any other 0.5 credit course(s) for which they meet the requisites. Advanced Technical Electives may not be taken before the 3A term.
2. Students must take one elective in third year, but can choose to take it in either 3A or 3B. Students may take electives in both terms if they choose.
3. Students may choose to take three electives in 4A and four electives in 4B, instead of two in 4A and five in 4B.
4. Students enrolled in Software Engineering will only be permitted to use the WD and WF (seeÌýÌýfor descriptions) provisions used in the Faculty of Mathematics to withdraw from extra courses taken above the degree requirements.
5. Students may replaceÌýÌýand one of their unrestricted electives with the combination ofÌýÌýandÌý.
6. The linkage elective on communication is normally taken in the 2A term. It must be completed with a grade of at least 60% prior to enrolling in the 3A term.
7. Ìýis treated as an elective for the purpose of reduced load; that is, students may takeÌýÌýeither before or after their 2A term. Students may takeÌýÌýinstead ofÌý.

Strong communication skills are essential to academic, professional, and personal success. As such, Software Engineering students must take a course from the Linkage Elective Communication List in the 2A term. This elective list parallels the Mathematics Communication Skills Requirements List 1. Communication skills are further developed and evaluated in three work-term reports (described below) and inÌý,Ìý,Ìý, andÌý.

Work term reportsÌýare listed as part of the Software Engineering curriculum; they are treated as courses that a BSE student must successfully complete to satisfy the plan requirements. They appear on all grade reports and transcripts, but they are not used in calculating term averages.

Each work-term report requirement is satisfied by earning a grade of satisfactory or better on a work-term report related to the previous term's co-op employment. Each work-term report must be submitted at the beginning of the academic term in which it is listed as a course; it is due seven days after the first official day of lectures. Reports submitted after the due date will receive a failing grade and will be evaluated the following academic term.

Failed work-term reports contribute to a student's accumulated failed-course count. They also appear on a student's transcript. Once a failure has cleared, the original grade will still be listed on the transcript but will be annotated with a credit (CR) in the "sup" field.Ìý

Five professional development courses are required as described in the BASc and BSE specific degree requirements section onÌý. Two core PD courses are specified for all engineering students:ÌýÌýandÌý. Due to the importance of understanding the legal and ethical ramifications of software development, Software Engineering students are also required to takeÌý. This course replaces one of the PD electives, such that Software Engineering students have three core PD courses (PD 10, PD 19, and PD 20) and two PD elective courses. Software Engineering students are automatically enrolled in PD 10, PD 19, and PD 20 but must enrol in the elective PD courses using the normal Quest enrolment process.Ìý
