📋 CAS Requirements:

  • 23 courses form the foundation of the Certificate of Applied Science

  • These cover math, science, and core engineering subjects

📋 BASc Requirements:

  • Add 7 extra courses to the CAS core

  • These electives broaden your degree and may include Arts, Professional Studies, or advanced Science courses

  • Your assigned discipline may adjust which 7 courses you need

📌 Important: Always confirm your course plan with the School of Engineering Admin Assistant or Director to ensure you’re meeting the correct requirements.
