5. Seven Technical Electives are required, selected from the list of technical electives.

• ELEC 200 no longer offered in the revised program effective May 2014. It is replaced by ELEC 299 offered in term 2B. The first offering of ELEC 299 will be summer 2015.
• ELEC 250 is to be taken in term 2A instead of 2B. However, ELEC 250 remains offered in the summer term.
• Students who cannot adhere to the revised program, please contact the Advising office (engradv2@uvic.ca) for assistance in modifying your program schedule.

Specializations are optional. The program requires completion of seven technical electives (10.5 units) to be chosen from the list below. Students who complete three courses (4.5 units) in a specialization area listed below can request a certificate from the Electrical and Computer Engineering office; the specialization area will not be shown on the transcript.

Students who entered the program via a bridge program, and students who transferred from other programs, must choose their electives in consultation with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Advisor. Their choice of electives requires pre-approval to ensure sufficient accreditation units are obtained.

Note that some courses appear under more than one category.

Check the Academic Schedule - ECE Technical Elective Courses on when technical electives are normally offered or click on an elective listed below to find out when it is tentatively offered. Please note that not all technical electives are offered every year.

Other 400-level or graduate courses may be considered as Technical Electives with the permission of the department, and Dean of Graduate Studies as required (refer to "Registration in Graduate Courses by Undergraduates" in the calendar).

Biomedical Option

In addition to the regular Engineering program requirements, the Biomedical Option requires completion of the following courses:

• BIOL 225
• EPHE 141
• ELEC 335
• ELEC 434, or PHYS 432

Notes:

• Students in this option must take BIOL 190A as their Science Elective and ELEC 435 as a Technical Elective.
• Students who choose to take PHYS 432 must also satisfy the required prerequisites. In addition, PHYS 432 will only be offered in the fall term. ELEC 434 is offered as an alternative.
• Students must apply to be accepted into this option, normally during Term 1B.
• Admission to this option requires completion of Biology 11 and is subject to enrolment limitations.
• The offering of this option is subject to resources.

Fast Track Master's Option

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers outstanding undergraduate students an opportunity for a head start in a master's program. Qualified students will be permitted to enroll in graduate-level courses during their fourth year. These courses will be in addition to any undergraduate requirements and thus can be transferred to the MASc or MEng degree program. All of the admission and transfer credit regulations of the Faculty of Graduate Studies must be met. For more information, please contact the Chair or the Graduate Adviser of the department.
