*CME358H1 – Survey CAMP (Civil and Mineral Practicals) is a two-week field-based course taken in the month prior to starting Third Year. The results of this course are used in computing the student's Third Year Fall Session Average. An extra fee is charged to cover part of the costs of food and accommodation.
*In order to graduate, students must obtain credits in the equivalent of at least four half-year Complementary Studies/Humanities and Social Sciences (CS/HSS) Electives. Of these Electives, the equivalent of at least two half-year credits must be Humanities and Social Sciences. Refer to the Registrar's Office website for a list of pre-approved CS/HSS Electives.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE YEAR
Students registered within this program, and all other undergraduate programs within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, may elect to enroll and participate in the Professional Experience Year Co-Op Program (PEY Co-Op). The PEY Co-op program requires that qualified students undertake a paid, full-time 12-16 month continuous work period with a cooperating industry. Details are described in the beginning of this chapter. More information can be found in the PEY Co-op section of the calendar.

*MIN400H1 – Geology Camp is taken in the week prior to fall term of fourth year. The results of this are used in computing the student's fourth year fall session average. An extra fee is charged to cover cost of room, board and travel.
*Note. In year 4 students are required to select 2 CS/HSS electives and 3 technical electives. These courses may be taken in either term subject to maintaining the minimum required course load.
*Note: Technical Electives outside of the group of courses listed must be approved in advance. Students wishing to take elective courses from other departments need to ensure that they have the appropriate background and prerequisites. Students with an overall average of 75% or greater in their third year may take up to two graduate level (1000-series) courses, depending upon availability. In all cases the interested student should consult with the Department’s Office of Student Services (GB116) to obtain further information and the appropriate permission.
