Admissions The Software Engineering Board, in consultation with the faculties of Engineering and Mathematics and their admissions committees, determines the admission requirements for Software Engineering. For details on admission information, see the [Admissions section](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/group/uWaterloo-Admissions.html) of this Calendar. Options, Specializations, Minors, and Joint Honours Software Engineering students are considered as both Mathematics and Engineering students, and can thus take advantage of degree enhancements available to students from either faculty. These enhancements take the form of additional plans such as options, specializations, [minors](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/Minors-Options-Diplomas-Certificates.html#Minors), and joint honours. Software Engineering students are eligible for either the Artificial Intelligence Option (Engineering) or the Artificial Intelligence Specialization (Computer Science), but cannot graduate with both degree enhancements. See the full list of [Computer Science specializations](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/group/MATH-Computer-Science-1.html) or the full list of [Options, Specializations and Electives for Engineering Students](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/ENG-BASc-and-BSE-Options-Electives-Engineering1.html). The following Mathematics Joint Honours plans are also approved as additional plans for BSE students: - [Joint Applied Mathematics](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/MATH-AM-Degree-Requirements-Joint-Applied-Math.html) - [Joint Combinatorics and Optimization](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/MATH-Joint-Combinatorics-and-Optimization1.html) - [Joint Pure Mathematics](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/MATH-Joint-Pure-Mathematics1.html), and - [Joint Statistics](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/MATH-Joint-Statistics1.html) BSE students are not eligible to add Joint Computer Science (Bachelor of Mathematics), Joint Bachelor of Computer Science plans, or stand-alone BMath Honours plans from the Faculty of Mathematics. BSE students pursuing a Joint Honours plan are not required to satisfy the Table 2 Faculty Core Courses requirements in the degree requirements for all Mathematics students. These students are still required to fulfil all requirements for the BSE. BSE students may be eligible to add other options, specializations, or minors in Mathematics, Engineering, or other faculties, subject to the approval of the Software Engineering associate director. Students should be aware that adding plans will constrain their choice of electives, and may require additional courses. Thus, it is advisable to start preparing for additional plans in the first and second years. Students should also consider the benefits of not adding plans, in that they are better able to personalize their curriculum if they have more flexibility in choosing their electives. Students interested in pursuing additional academic plans, see [invalid credential combinations](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/Acad-Regs-Invalid-Credential-Combinations.html). Software Engineering Awards Students in the Bachelor of Software Engineering plan are eligible for Awards of Excellence in the Faculty of Mathematics. Students in the Bachelor of Software Engineering plan are eligible for Awards of Excellence in the Faculty of Engineering. Honours Software Engineering The Software Engineering plan is offered jointly by the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; it is only offered in the co-operative 8-stream. Students will be considered members of both the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Mathematics, although for administrative purposes they will be registered officially in a separate unit. Students will be promoted based on the [Examinations and Promotions](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/ENG-BASc-and-BSE-Examinations-and-Promotions.html) rules used in the Faculty of Engineering. A non-voting representative from the Faculty of Mathematics will sit on the Engineering Examinations and Promotion Committee, to provide insight into the policies, philosophies, culture, and requirements that pertain to Mathematics students. The Software Engineering plan is also considered an Honours Mathematics plan for purposes of student access to Mathematics courses. The Software Engineering advisor will advise students on how to achieve their academic goals.

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 (see [Grades](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/Acad-Regs-Grades.html) for descriptions) provisions used in the Faculty of Mathematics to withdraw from extra courses taken above the degree requirements. 5. Students may replace [STAT 206](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-STAT.html#STAT206) and one of their unrestricted electives with the combination of [STAT 230](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-STAT.html#STAT230) and [STAT 231](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-STAT.html#STAT231). 6. The linkage elective on communication (Undergraduate Communication Requirement) 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. [CHE 102](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-CHE.html#CHE102) is treated as an elective for the purpose of reduced load; that is, students may take [CHE 102](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-CHE.html#CHE102) either before or after their 2A term. Students may take [CHEM 120](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-CHEM.html#CHEM120) instead of [CHE 102](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-CHE.html#CHE102). Undergraduate Communication Requirement Strong communication skills are essential to academic, professional, and personal success. As such, Software Engineering students must take a course from the Linkage Elective [Undergraduate Communication Requirement](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/ENG-Undergraduate-Communication-Requirement.html) List in the 2A term. This elective list is intended to include all of Mathematics Undergraduate Communication Requirement List 1, and selections from Mathematics Undergraduate Communication Requirement List 2. Communication skills are further developed and evaluated in three work-term reports (described below) and in [SE 101](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-SE.html#SE101), [SE 390](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-SE.html#SE390), [SE 490](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-SE.html#SE490), and [SE 491](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-SE.html#SE491). Three Work-term Reports Work-term reports (WKRPTs) are 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. Professional Development Courses Five professional development (PD) courses are required as described in the BASc and BSE specific degree requirements section on [Work Terms](https://academic-calendar-archive.uwaterloo.ca/undergraduate-studies/2022-2023/page/ENG-BASc-and-BSE-Work-Terms.html). Two core PD courses are specified for all engineering students: [PD 19](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD19) and [PD 20](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD20). Due to the importance of understanding the legal and ethical ramifications of software development, Software Engineering students are also required to take [PD 10](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD10). This course replaces one of the PD electives, such that Software Engineering students have three core PD courses ([PD 10](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD10), [PD 19](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD19), and [PD 20](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD20)) and two PD elective courses. Software Engineering students are automatically enrolled in [PD 10](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD10), [PD 19](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD19), and [PD 20](https://ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2223/COURSE/course-PD.html#PD20) but must enrol in the elective PD courses using the normal Quest enrolment process. | | | | --- Office of the Registrar University of Waterloo Ira G.
