Sustainable Energy Engineering Major

Bachelor of Applied Science

This program, located at the Surrey campus, leads to a bachelor of applied science degree.

Admission Requirements

Admission is competitive. A supplemental application, along with related documentation, may be required for specific entry routes. For specific admission requirements, visit http://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/admission-requirements.html.

For more information, contact an Applied Sciences Advisor.

Co-operative Education Work Experience

Every sustainable energy engineering student completes a three-term co-operative education program of practical experience in an appropriate industrial or research setting leading to a project under the technical direction of a practicing engineer or scientist. The goal is a complementary combination of work, in an industrial or research setting, and study. The placement may be within the university but in most cases the work site is off campus.

At least two of the three mandatory co-operative education terms must be completed in industry (SEE 290, 390, 490). Students may participate in additional co-op terms but are encouraged to seek diversity in their experience. The three mandatory co-op terms may include one special co-op term (SEE 294, 394, 494). Special co-op may include, but is not restricted to, self-directed, entrepreneurial, service or research co-op work terms. Permission of the Sustainable Energy Engineering Co-op Office is required.

Program Requirements

The following core courses are required for the sustainable energy engineering major and cannot be substituted for “equivalent” courses in other areas without prior approval. “Equivalent” courses taken without prior approval will not be applied to graduation requirements. Students should consult an academic advisor within their program for details on obtaining permission.

The program requires a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and an upper division grade point average (UDGPA) of at least 2.0 in accordance with university graduation requirements. A grade of C- or better in prerequisite courses is required to enroll in sustainable energy engineering courses.

Students complete all of

Interdisciplinary Elective Courses

To contribute to the program's focus on interdisciplinary knowledge, students must also take one of the following interdisciplinary electives

GEOG 324 - Geography of Transportation (4)

An empirical and theoretical examination of the geographical aspects of transportation systems. Prerequisite: At least 45 units, including GEOG 100.

GEOG 362W - Gentrification and Urban Change (4)

Contemporary cases and conceptualizations of gentrification and related processes of urban change. Central themes include: political, economic, social, and cultural manifestations of gentrification; class, gender, and racialization; the role of development, planning, architecture, the arts, and resistance movements; and gentrification’s global geographies. Prerequisite: At least 45 units, including GEOG 100. Students with credit for GEOG 362 may not take this course for further credit. Writing.

or GEOG 362 - Gentrification and Urban Change (4)

Contemporary cases and conceptualizations of gentrification and related processes of urban change. Central themes include: political, economic, social, and cultural manifestations of gentrification; class, gender, and racialization; the role of development, planning, architecture, the arts, and resistance movements; and gentrification’s global geographies. Prerequisite: At least 45 units, including GEOG 100. Students with credit for GEOG 362W may not take this course for further credit.

Complementary Studies Elective Courses

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requires that one complementary studies elective within the SEE curriculum meet the requirements for classification as a Central Issues, Methodologies, and Thought Processes course. Within the SEE curriculum, the course BUS 238 – Introduction to Entrepreneurship & Innovation, meets this requirement.

Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements

Students admitted to Simon Fraser University beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements for university-wide information.

WQB Graduation Requirements

A grade of C- or better is required to earn W, Q or B credit

Requirement

Units

Notes
W - Writing

6

Must include at least one upper division course, taken at Simon Fraser University within the student's major subject; two courses (minimum three units each)

Q - Quantitative

6

Q courses may be lower or upper division; two courses (total six units or more)
B - Breadth

18

Designated Breadth

Must be outside the student's major subject, and may be lower or upper division:

Two courses (total six units or more) Social Sciences: B-Soc
Two courses (total six units or more) Humanities: B-Hum
Two courses (total six units or more) Sciences: B-Sci

6

Additional Breadth

Two courses (total six units or more) outside the student's major subject (may or may not be B-designated courses, and will likely help fulfil individual degree program requirements).

Students choosing to complete a joint major, joint honours, double major, two extended minors, an extended minor and a minor, or two minors may satisfy the breadth requirements (designated or not designated) with courses completed in either one or both program areas.

WQB Requirement Modifications for Sustainable Energy Engineering

For students in the Sustainable Energy Engineering program, the total number of Breadth-Social Sciences (B-Soc) and Breadth-Humanities (B-Hum) courses is reduced to nine units (three courses), with at least three units (one course) in each category.

As the curriculum already requires two B-Soc designated courses (BUS 238 and REM 350), students need only take one Breadth-Humanities course, in addition to the required and elective courses indicated above, in order to complete the university breadth and SEE complementary studies requirement.

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

  • At least half of the program's total units must be earned through Simon Fraser University study.
  • At least two thirds of the program's total upper division units must be earned through Simon Fraser University study.

Please see Faculty of Applied Sciences Residency Requirements for further information.

Elective Courses

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the remaining required elective courses.
