Minors
Minor in Mathematics
A minor in Mathematics is 8 credits including:
- MAE101: Introductory Calculus (2 credits)
- MAE129: Introduction to Algebra (1 credit)
- MAE229: Linear Algebra (1 credit)
- at least 3 credits from 300 or 400 level Mathematics courses (except: "MAE315: Differential Equations and Fourier Series" and "MAE328: Differential Equations, Boundary Value Problems and Complex Variables")
- one additional credit in Mathematics
Minor in Computer Science
A minor in Computer Science requires 8 credits from the list of courses acceptable for B.Sc. (Honours) Computer Science or B.Sc. Computer Science which have a CSE or EEE prefix.
(At least 5 of these credits must come from courses with the CSE prefix).
Canadian Operational Society Diploma (CORS Diploma)
Together with their RMC diploma, students can obtain the Canadian Operational Research Society Diploma.
