Engineering

Courses in Engineering One are as follows:

• English 1080
• Mathematics 1000
• Mathematics 1001
• Mathematics 2050
• Physics 1050
• Physics 1051
• Chemistry 1050
• Engineering 1010
• Engineering 1020
• Engineering 1030
• Engineering 1040

Students admitted to the first year of the bachelor of engineering degree program who have either completed (at Memorial or through transfer credit) or who are eligible to register for Mathematics 1000, Physics 1050 and Chemistry 1050 in their first semester should be able to complete all Engineering One courses during their first two semesters at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Admitted students who are not eligible to register for Physics 1050 and Chemistry 1050 in their first semester may take an alternate slate of courses in these subjects in order to meet the requirements for promotion to Term 3. These are described in the notes following the Sample Program.

All students must successfully complete the requirements of Engineering One prior to being promoted to academic term three.

All engineering students who meet promotion requirements from Engineering One at the end of the academic year of admission will be guaranteed a place in academic term three, although not necessarily in their preferred major.

• a grade of at least 55 per cent in each of Mathematics 1001, Mathematics 2050, Physics 1051, Chemistry 1050 (or equivalent – see note ** on previous page following the Sample Program), English 1080 (or equivalent), Engineering 1010, 1020, 1030 and 1040
• an overall average of at least 65 per cent on the above nine courses

Notes:

1. In order to remain in the engineering program, students admitted to Engineering One must complete the requirements for promotion to academic Term 3 before the end of the academic year of admission.
2. Students who fail to meet the requirements for promotion to academic Term 3 before the end of the academic year of admission will be deemed to have withdrawn from the engineering program.
3. The faculty reserves the right to limit the number of spaces available in each major. The faculty also reserves the right to guarantee admission to a particular major at the time of admission to the engineering program.
4. Students in Engineering One are required to apply for their major by April 1 of the year of which admission is sought, indicating their preferences for major in rank order.

Entry to Engineering One and to the majors offered by the faculty is competitive for a limited number of placements. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance to the engineering program. The final decision on admission or re-admission to Engineering One or any engineering major rests with the Admissions Committee of the faculty. Admission or re-admission to the university does not necessarily constitute admission or re-admission to Engineering One or to any major.

The primary criterion used in reaching decisions on applications for admission or re-admission is the Admission Committee's judgment of the likelihood of an applicant succeeding in the program.

A. Direct Admission from High School

High school students must meet the minimum requirements outlined below in order to be considered eligible for admission to Engineering One.

EITHER students must have earned credits in Mathematics 1000 through:

• International Baccalaureate (Higher Level with a score of four or higher) or
• advanced placement (Calculus AB or BC with a standing of three or higher)

OR are able to register for Mathematics 1000 as demonstrated through:

• successful completion of Math 3205 or equivalent (advanced math) in high school with an MPT score of at least 75 per cent or
• successful completion of Math 3204 or equivalent (academic math) in high school with an MPT score of at least 85 per cent or
• completion of International Baccalaureate Math (standard level) with a score of four or higher.

Physics 2204 and 3204 and Chemistry 3202 or equivalent, from high school are highly recommended but not required.

B. Students Completing the College of the North Atlantic Comprehensive Arts and Science (CAS) College Transition Program

Students who have successfully completed the College of the North Atlantic Transition program will be considered equivalent to students entering directly from high school and will follow the guidelines shown in section A.

C. Memorial University of Newfoundland Applicants

To be eligible for consideration for admission to Engineering One, students who are attending or have previously attended this university must have a cumulative average of at least 60 per cent or an average of at least 65 per cent on their most recent 30 attempted credit hours and be admissible to (or have previously completed) Mathematics 1000, Physics 1050 and Chemistry 1050.

D. Transfer Applicants

Applicants seeking admission to Engineering One through transfer from accredited post-secondary institutions must have achieved a minimum overall average of 60 per cent and have been determined to have completed the equivalent of or be eligible to register for, Mathematics 1000 in order to be considered for admission to Engineering One.

E. Advanced Standing

Students are occasionally admitted to semesters of the bachelor of engineering degree program beyond Engineering One from within the university or from other institutions. Such entry is normally based on a detailed analysis of the student's record and normally requires applicants to have completed the equivalent of all requirements for promotion from previous semesters. A student's major and remaining degree requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of admission. Transfer applicants must complete a majority of the credit hours in their program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Such students should contact the Office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies).
