second year eligibility (engineer)?
This is what it says for me at the end of my grade report.

ELIGIBLE FOR
B ENG , ELEC ENG CO-OP
INELIGIBLE FOR
B ENG , CIV ENG
B ENG , SOFTWARE ENG
B ENG , MATLS ENG

I completely understand the eligible part (my gpa was high enough)
but i dont get is the ineligible part. elec eng has higher gpa to get in (7), software eng is (4). so why no?

When you're eligible for your first choice, you're automatically ineligible for the others. Don't worry, the other streams didnt reject you.

As Dillon said, Engineering program selection works differently than others

Not necessarily...it varies from year to year...and frankly I've never heard of people getting into ElecEng with just a 4...I'm obviously not in Elec so I'm not 100% sure of that, just saying I've never heard of it..

Lol, wouldnt you think one who is in Elec Eng would know if people with 4.0 get in?
Also, elec eng is almost always in 4 range, the reason is because there are so many seats available.

Fair enough. I concede to your much more advanced ElecEng knowledge

Lots of spots in elect eng compared to others... 4.0 sounds right. Gratz, either way.

Why does Electrical have alot of spots? I always thought that civil would have the most spots, since civil has the most job opportunities (or pretty close to it).

Might wanna check up on that fact.

With respect to positions posted on McMaster's online system (OSCAR) from March 1, 2008 - February 28, 2009:
585 out of the 958 co-op positions posted indicated that Electrical and/or Computer Engineering were suitable disciplines. Over 61% of co-op positions involve ECE disciplines.
376 out of the 519 full-time positions posted indicated that Electrical and/or Computer Engineering were suitable disciplines. Over 72% of full-time positions involve ECE disciplines.

I have a hunch it could be Physics 1E03 that ward off most people. Both midterm averages was in the low 50's and it is purely related to Electrical Engineering (as oppose to Physics 1B03 that is purely related to Mechanical). I cannot count how many times during the tutorials that my peers couldn't wait until they set this course aside, as they cannot stand it.
Good times. |

I wouldn't doubt that Civ has some of the largest availability of jobs: You can work in so many different areas, it's ridiculous. In the field, there's as many Civil jobs as in the office. The number of jobs posted on OSCAR doesn't reflect how many jobs are available in real life. I won't deny that there are a lot of civil engineers out there either, so I would say civil companies don't have to try really hard to recruit co-op students from school.
