In Canada, all provincial associations recommend a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit Canadian professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes two types of accredited degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture and the Master of Architecture. A program may be granted a five-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance, with established educational standards.
Master's degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Since all provincial associations in Canada recommend any applicant for licensure to have graduated from a CACB-accredited program, obtaining such a degree is an essential aspect of preparing for the professional practice of architecture. While graduation from a CACB-accredited program does not assure registration, the accrediting process is intended to verify that each accredited program substantially meets those standards that, as a whole, comprise an appropriate education for an architect.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
McGill's professional program in architecture is structured as a four-and-a-half-year, or nine-term, course of study divided into two parts.
The first part, for students entering with the Diploma of Collegial Studies in Pure and Applied Science or the equivalent, is a six-term design program leading to a non-professional degree, Bachelor of Science (Architecture). [Most students from outside Quebec are admitted to an eight-term B.Sc.(Arch.) program and enter a first year which includes courses outlined in section 7.3.1.3 "Architecture - Basic Science Requirements for Students Entering from Outside Quebec".]
The second part, for students with the B.Sc.(Arch.) degree, is a one-and-a-half-year, or three-term, program leading to the professional Master of Architecture I degree. The professional M.Arch.I is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), and is recognized as accredited by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) in the USA.
Students in the B.Sc.(Arch.) program who intend to proceed to the professional degree must satisfy certain minimum requirements including:
1. complete the B.Sc.(Arch.) degree, including the series of required and complementary courses stipulated for professional studies, with a minimum CGPA of 3.00;
2. submit a portfolio of work executed in the sequence of six design studios, as well as samples of professional and personal work;
3. complete the minimum period of relevant work experience according to the current Work Experience Guidelines.
Further information on the professional M.Arch.I program is available at www.mcgill.ca/architecture.
Student Exchanges
A limited number of qualified students may participate in an exchange with schools of architecture at other universities which have agreements with the McGill School of Architecture, for a maximum of one term in the second year of the B.Sc.(Arch.) program. These include: Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia, Venice, Italy; Fakultät für Raumplanung und Architektur, Technische Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria; Institut Supérieur d'Architecture, Saint-Luc Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium; École d'architecture de Grenoble, Grenoble, France; École d'architecture Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, France; Facolta di Architettura Civile Politecnico di Milano (Boviso); Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Faculty of Architecture; Alexandria Centre for Architecture and Urban Studies (M.Arch. only), Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Facultad de Arquitectura; Technologico de Monterrey (Campus Queretero and Campus Monterrey), Departamento de Arquitectura; University of Florida, School of Architecture; Ball State University, Department of Architecture; University of Texas at Austin, School of Architecture.

The central purpose of engineering is to pursue solutions to technological problems in order to satisfy the needs and desires of society. Chemical engineers are trained to solve the kinds of problems that are typically found in the "chemical process industries", which include the chemical manufacturing, plastics, water treatment, pulp and paper, petroleum refining, ceramics, and paint industries as well as substantial portions of the food processing, textile, nuclear energy, biochemical and pharmaceutical industries. The technological problems and opportunities in these industries are often closely linked to social, economic and environmental concerns. For this reason, practitioners of chemical engineering often deal with these questions when they are working in management, pollution abatement, product development, marketing and equipment design.
The discipline of chemical engineering is distinctive in being based equally on physics, mathematics and chemistry. Application of these three fundamental sciences is basic to a quantitative understanding of the process industries. Those with an interest in the fourth major science, biology, will find several courses in the chemical engineering curriculum which integrate aspects of the biological sciences relevant to process industries such as food processing, fermentation and water pollution control. Courses on the technical operations and economics of the process industries are added to this foundation. The core curriculum concludes with process design courses taught by practising design engineers. Problem-solving, experimenting, planning and communication skills are emphasized in courses throughout the core curriculum.
By means of complementary courses, students can also obtain further depth in technical areas and breadth in non-technical subjects. Some students elect to complete a minor in biotechnology, management, materials engineering, computer science, environmental engineering or chemistry.
The solution to many environmental problems requires an understanding of technological principles. A chemical engineering degree provides an ideal background. In addition to relevant material learned in the core program, a selection of environmental complementary courses and minor programs is available. The involvement of many chemical engineering staff members in environmental research provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to carry out research projects in this area.
The curriculum also provides the preparation necessary to undertake postgraduate studies leading to the M.Eng. or Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering. Students completing this curriculum acquire a broad, balanced education in the natural sciences with the accent on application. Thus, for those who do not continue in chemical engineering, it provides an exceptionally balanced education in applied science. For others, it will form the basis of an educational program that may continue with a variety of studies such as business administration, medicine or law. Versatility is, then, one of the most valuable characteristics of the graduate of the chemical engineering program.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
For those who have completed the Quebec CEGEP-level program in Pure and Applied Sciences, the Chemical Engineering Program comprises 111 credits as outlined below. Certain students who take advantage of summer session courses can complete the departmental programs in three calendar years. Students who have passed Chemistry 202 or 302 at the CEGEP level may be exempt from course CHEM 212 or CHEM 234, respectively (Introductory Organic Chemistry 1 and Selected Topics in Organic Chemistry), the corresponding courses are transferred from required courses to electives.
For appropriately qualified high school graduates from outside Quebec, an extended credit program is available, as described in section 7.3.1.2 "Basic Science Requirements for Students Entering from Outside Quebec".
In some cases students from university science disciplines have sufficient credits to complete the requirements for the B.Eng. (Chemical) program in two years. Those concerned should discuss this with their adviser.
Students must obtain a C grade or better in all core courses. For the Department of Chemical Engineering, core courses include all required courses (departmental and non-departmental) as well as complementary courses (departmental).

For students starting their B.Eng. studies in September who have completed the Quebec Diploma of Collegial Studies, a program for the first two terms of study is given below:
Students entering their second year of study or who are starting in January must plan their program of studies in consultation with their Departmental adviser.
Additional information can be found on the Faculty Website at www.mcgill.ca/engineering, as well as in section 7.3.1.2 "Basic Science Requirements for Students Entering from Outside Quebec".
TECHNICAL COMPLEMENTARIES
A minimum of 9 credits of complementary courses must be chosen from a list of technical complementaries approved by the Department. The purpose of this requirement is to provide students with an area of specialization within the broad field of chemical engineering. Alternatively, some students use the technical complementaries to increase the breadth of their chemical engineering training.
At least two (2) technical complementary courses are to be selected from those offered by the Department (list below). Permission is given to take the third complementary course from other suitable undergraduate courses in the Faculty of Engineering.
The Technical Complementary courses currently approved by the Department are as follows:
Courses CHEE 582 and CHEE 584 comprise a Polymeric Materials sequence. Additional courses in this area are available in the Chemistry Department (e.g., CHEM 455) or at the graduate level (CHEE 681 to CHEE 684). The Department has considerable expertise in the polymer area.
Courses CHEE 370 and CHEE 474 make up a sequence in Biochemical Engineering-Biotechnology. Students interested in this area may take additional courses, particularly those offered by the Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and courses in biochemistry and microbiology. The food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries are large industries in the Montreal area and these courses are relevant to these industries and to the new
high-technology applications of biotechnology.The third area in which there is a sequence of courses is Pollution Control. The Department offers three courses in this area: CHEE 591 CHEE 592, CHEE 593 and CHEE 594. As some water pollution control problems are solved by microbial processes, course CHEE 474 is also relevant to the pollution control area. Likewise, as the solution to pollution problems frequently involves removal of particulate matter from gaseous or liquid streams, course CHEE 452 is also relevant. Additional courses in this area are listed under section 7.6.8 "Environmental Engineering Minor".
A Minor in Biotechnology is also offered in the Faculties of Engineering and of Science with emphasis on Molecular Biology and Chemical Engineering Processes. A full description of the program appears in section 7.6.3 "Biotechnology Minor".
Note that many of the technical complementaries are offered only in alternate years. Students should, therefore, plan their complementaries as far ahead as possible. With the approval of the instructor and academic adviser, students may take graduate (CHEE 500-level) courses as technical complementaries.
ELECTIVE COURSES
Students who have obtained exemptions for courses, i.e., for CEGEP courses equivalent to CHEM 212 or CHEM 234, or who take more than the minimum requirements for the degree, may choose university-level courses in any field. Approval of an elective course requires only that no timetable conflicts are created and that it not be a repetition of material already covered in the curriculum or already mastered by the student.
CURRICULUM COMMITTEE
The Curriculum Committee is composed of three students, elected by their classes, and two staff members. This Committee provides a forum for all matters involving undergraduate student/staff interactions. While the primary concern is with matters of curriculum and courses (their content, evaluation, scheduling, etc.), the Committee has also taken up a number of other matters in recent years, e.g., working space, facilities (equipment and libraries), etc.
CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
The Chemical Engineering Student Society has for many years been affiliated both with the CSChE (Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering) and with the AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers). For a nominal fee students receive Canadian Chemical News, a monthly publication, and the AlChE Student Members Bulletin as well as other privileges of student membership in the two societies. The student chapter also organizes a series of local social, educational and sporting events. For example, recent events have included student-professor banquets and Christmas parties, dances, speakers, broomball games and joint meetings with the Montreal Section of the CSChE. The latter gives students a chance to mix with practising chemical engineers.

Civil engineers have traditionally applied scientific and engineering knowledge to the task of providing the built environment, from its conception and planning to its design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation. Examples include buildings, bridges, roads, railways, dams, and facilities for water supply and treatment, and waste disposal. With the aging and deterioration of an already vast infrastructure, its maintenance and rehabilitation has become an increasingly important role of the civil engineering profession. Also, with worldwide concern about the detrimental impact of human activities on the environment, civil engineers are now in the forefront of developing and providing the means for both prevention and remediation of many aspects of environmental pollution.
The program in Civil Engineering is comprehensive in providing the fundamentals in mechanics and engineering associated with the diverse fields of the profession, in offering choices of specialization, and in fully reflecting the advances in science, mathematics, engineering and computing that have transformed all fields of engineering in recent years. The resulting knowledge and training enables graduates to not only enter the profession thoroughly well prepared, but also to adapt to further change.
The required courses ensure a sound scientific and analytical basis for professional studies through courses in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, environmental engineering, water resources management, structural analysis, systems analysis and mathematics. Fundamental concepts are applied to various fields of practice in both required and complementary courses.
By a suitable choice of complementary courses, students can attain advanced levels of technical knowledge in the specialized areas mentioned above. Alternatively, students may choose to develop their interests in a more general way by combining complementary courses within the Department with several from other departments or faculties.
Students who wish to extend their knowledge in certain areas beyond the range that the program complementary courses allow can also take a Minor program. Minors are available in fields such as Arts, Economics, Management, Environmental Engineering, and Construction Engineering and Management. These require additional credits to be taken from a specified list of topics relating to the chosen field. Further information on the various Minor programs may be found in section 7.6 "Minor Programs". Details of how the Minors can be accommodated within the Civil Engineering program will be made available at the time of preregistration counselling.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Considerable freedom exists for students to influence the nature of the program of study which they follow in the Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics. A variety of advanced complementary courses is offered in five main groupings:
Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Transportation Engineering.Guidance on the sequence in which required core courses should be taken is provided for students in the form of a sample program which covers the entire period of study. The technical complementary courses selected, usually in the last two terms of the program, will depend upon the student's interests. All students must meet with their adviser each term to confirm the courses for which they are registered.
Courses taken in Term 3 or later will depend on a student's interests and ability. Information and advice concerning different possibilities are made available in the Department prior to registration. All programs require the approval of a staff adviser. Programs for students transferring into the Department with advanced standing will be dependent upon the academic credit previously achieved, and such a program will be established only after consultation with a staff adviser.
CURRICULUM FOR THE B.ENG. DEGREE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Two courses (6 credits), selected from an approved list: one course on the impact of technology on society and one in the humanities and social sciences, administrative studies and law. See section 7.3.4 "Complementary Studies" for further information.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers undergraduate degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering (Honours), Computer Engineering, and Software Engineering. All programs provide students with a strong background in mathematics, basic sciences, engineering science, engineering design and complementary studies, in conformity with the requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).
The program in Electrical Engineering gives students a broad understanding of the key principles that are responsible for the extraordinary advances in the technology of computers, micro-electronics, automation and robotics, telecommunications and power systems. These areas are critical to the development of our industries and, more generally, to our economy. A graduate of this program is exposed to all basic elements of electrical engineering and can function in any of our client industries. This breadth is what distinguishes an engineer from, say, a computer scientist or physicist.
The program in Electrical Engineering (Honours) is designed for students who wish to pursue postgraduate work and look to a career in advanced research and development. The technical complementaries are selected from graduate courses, facilitating the transition to postgraduate studies. Students in this curriculum benefit from smaller classes and have more contact with professorial staff and graduate students. However, the program is quite demanding. Students are expected to register for at least 14 credits per term; they may register for a smaller number only with the permission of the Chair of this Department. Students in the Honours program must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.30. Those who fail to maintain this standard are transferred to the regular program.
The program in Computer Engineering provides students with greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the hardware and software aspects of computers. Students are exposed to both theoretical and practical issues of both hardware and software in well-equipped laboratories. Although the program is designed to meet the growing demands by industry for engineers with a strong background in modern computer technology, it also provides the underlying depth for graduate studies in all fields of Computer Engineering.
The Department, jointly with the School of Computer Science, offers a Bachelor of Software Engineering program*. Graduates of this program should be eligible for accreditation (once accreditation standards for Software Engineers have been adopted). This program offers students the opportunity to focus their studies on the skills needed to design and develop complex software systems. This emerging field of engineering is a major component of the growing Information Technology (IT) sector of the economy, in which the demand for qualified personnel continues to outstrip supply. Graduates of this program will have a solid foundation for careers in the software industry. [*The School of Computer Science offers a B.Sc. Major program in Software Engineering, which will not lead to accreditation. For further information on the B.Sc. program see section 11.12.9 "Computer Science (COMP)".]
In addition to technical complementary courses, students in all three programs take general complementary courses in social sciences, administrative studies and humanities. These courses allow students to develop specific interests in areas such as psychology, economics, management or political science.
Entry into the Honours Program
The Honours program is a limited enrolment program and entry is highly competitive. There is no direct entry to the Honours program in the first year. Students may enter the Honours program in the following ways:
· Students from CEGEP will be admitted, on the basis of their grades, at the start of the third term.
· Students from outside Quebec will be admitted, on the basis of their grades, at the start of the fifth term.
Though not required to do so, students in the Honours program or wishing to enter the Honours program are encouraged to take the following advanced math and physics courses:
To remain in the Honours program and to be awarded the Honours degree, a student must have completed at least 14 credits in each term since entering Electrical and Computer Engineering, except for the final two terms of their degree, and maintained a CGPA of at least 3.30 since entering Electrical and Computer Engineering. In either of their final two full terms (i.e., Fall and Winter, or Winter and Fall) students may drop below 14 credits, provided the combined load for the two terms is at least 16 credits. For more information, please contact the Departmental office at (514) 398-3943.

Typical fields of work are aerospace, energy, manufacturing, machinery, and transportation. Because of the very broad nature of the discipline there is usually a high demand for mechanical engineers.
Many mechanical engineers follow other career paths. Graduate studies are useful for the specialists working in research establishments, consulting firms, or in corporate research and development.
To prepare the mechanical engineer for a wide range of career possibilities, there is a heavy stress in our curriculum on the fundamental analytical disciplines. This is balanced by a sequence of experimental and design engineering courses which include practice in design, manufacture and experimentation. In these courses students learn how to apply their analytical groundwork to the solution of practical problems.
Specialist interests are satisfied by selecting appropriate complementary courses from among those offered with a specific subject concentration, such as management, industrial engineering, computer science, controls and robotics, bio-engineering, aeronautics, combustion, systems engineering, etc.
The Department offers an Honours Program which is particularly suitable for those with a high aptitude in mathematics and physics and which gives a thorough grounding in the basic engineering sciences. The complementary courses in this program can be utilized to take courses with applied engineering orientation, such as those offered in the regular program, or if preferred, to obtain an even more advanced education in engineering science.
Concentrations in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechatronics and Design are available for students in either the Regular or Honours programs who wish to specialize in these areas.
While the program is demanding, there is time for many extra-curricular activities. Students are active in such professional societies as CASI (Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and in various campus organizations.
Relations between faculty and students are extremely close. Social functions, at which students and professors meet to exchange views and get to know each other better, are organized frequently.

The Department of Mining, Metals and Materials Engineering offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Materials Engineering or Mining Engineering. In addition to regular courses and laboratories, the curriculum includes seminars, colloquia and student projects reinforced by field trips to industrial operations.
Materials Engineering (CO-OP)
The Materials Engineering degree is a cooperative program leading to a B.Eng. and includes formal industrial work periods. It is built on a strong background of mathematics, basic sciences, computer skills and applications, and specific engineering and design courses to provide up-to-date training in materials engineering. Students take core courses covering processing, fabrication, applications and performance of materials, namely metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The program is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) and is designed to offer students exceptional training for employment in the field. The core courses are supplemented by complementary courses which provide a diverse selection of specialties for the graduating engineer. The course structure is reinforced with laboratory exercises. Graduates find employment in a wide range of industries, including the resource and manufacturing sectors. Students in the CO-OP program benefit from practical learning experience gained from work-term employment in meaningful engineering jobs, as well as non-tangible learning experiences arising from the responsibilities required to obtain and successfully complete the work terms.
Students pay a two-credit course fee for each of the following work terms: MIME 280, MIME 380 and MIME 480. (Students who entered the program prior to September 2005 will also pay a 2-credit course fee for MIME 481.) An amount of $200 will be billed during 10 consecutive terms for a total amount of $2,000 before graduation. This latter amount covers expenses directly related to the operation of the CO-OP program. Students must register for each of the above-mentioned industrial training courses and pay the associated fees by the Minerva course registration deadlines or late fees will apply.
Mining Engineering (CO-OP)
McGill, which has the oldest mining engineering program in Canada, has traditionally been known for the excellence of its courses as well as the training it provides in mining technology, mineral economics and mining practice. Graduates in mining engineering are in demand not only in Canada but throughout the world. There have been rapid technical developments in recent years, presenting a challenge to the imaginative student with a strong engineering interest. The Department offers a cooperative program leading to the B.Eng. degree in Mining Engineering. The CO-OP program is offered in collaboration with the Département des génies civil, géologique et des mines at École Polytechnique in Montreal, and includes formal industrial work periods. Students registered at McGill are required to take a series of technical mining courses at École Polytechnique in the latter part of the program. These courses are designated as such in the program outline (Subject Code MPMC).
Scholarships
The Department offers renewable Entrance Scholarships each year, valued at $3,000. A substantial number of other scholarships and bursaries are also awarded by the Department as well as by the Canadian Mineral Industry Education Foundation.
Student Advising
Students entering the Mining or Materials Engineering programs must plan their schedule of studies in consultation with one of the departmental advisers: Professor Brochu, Ms. Nikki Middlemiss (Materials), or Mr. J. Mossop (Mining).

Modern urban planning developed into a profession in the early decades of the 20th century, largely as a response to the appalling sanitary, social and economic conditions of rapidly developing industrial cities. Initially, the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, civil engineering and public health provided the nucleus of concerned professionals; beautification schemes and infrastructure works marked the early stages of public intervention in the 19th century. Architects, engineers and public health specialists were joined by economists, sociologists, lawyers and geographers as the complexities of the city's problems came to be more fully understood and public pressure mounted for their solution. Contemporary urban and regional planning techniques for survey, analysis, design and implementation developed from an interdisciplinary synthesis of these various fields.
Today, urban planning can be described as the collective management of urban development. It is concerned with the welfare of communities, control of the use of land, design of the built environment, including transportation and communication networks, and protection and enhancement of the natural environment. It is at once a technical and a political process which brings together actors from the public, private and community spheres. Planners participate in that process in a variety of ways, as designers and analysts, advocates and mediators.
McGill University was the first institution in Canada to offer a full-time planning program. An interdisciplinary program was established in 1947, in which students combined a master's degree in Urban Planning with one in a related field. An autonomous program was established in 1972. It became the School of Urban Planning in 1976.
Students come to the School from diverse backgrounds, the physical sciences, the traditional professions, such as architecture and engineering, and the social sciences. Alumni of the School work as planners and designers at various levels of government, in non-profit organizations and with private consulting firms. Their expertise ranges from historic preservation to transportation planning, from housing development to computer imaging. They devote their efforts in increasing numbers to environmental planning and sustainable development.
The School is a partner in the Montreal Interuniversity Group "Urbanization and Development", a consortium recognized by CIDA as a Centre of Excellence, which is devoted to the study of urban problems and the formulation of policies in developing regions. Faculty and students collaborate actively with members of other McGill departments, notably Architecture, Geography, Civil Engineering and Law, and with colleagues at other institutions in Canada and abroad.
The objective of the School is to produce qualified professional urban planners for the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Training is provided at the postgraduate level; the degree offered is the Master of Urban Planning (M.U.P.). Upon completion of the two-year program of studies, graduates are expected to have acquired basic planning skills, a broad understanding of urban issues, and specialized knowledge in a field of their own choice.
The program of study offered by the School is fully recognized by the Ordre des Urbanistes du Québec (O.U.Q.) and the Canadian Institute of Planners (C.I.P.). Graduates can become full members of the O.U.Q. and other provincial planning associations by meeting their respective internship and examination requirements; this, in turn, will make them eligible for membership in the C.I.P. Admission to the American Institute of Certified Planners and other such organizations is also possible on the basis of the MUP degree.
For details of the M.U.P. admission requirements and curriculum, consult the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Calendar, available at www.mcgill.ca.
