Computing Science Dual Degree

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/c/computing-dualdegree/overview.html

Study at two world-leading computing science universities: two years at SFU and two years at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. Students earn degrees from both universities, while also learning Mandarin and gaining an international education experience.

Data Science

Faculty of Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/d/data-science/overview.html

This program teaches various analytical methods in business and industry, focusing on technological solutions. You'll take courses from Statistics, Computing Science, Math, and Business, honing your problem solving skills to be able to make evidence-based decisions from data.

Electronics Engineering

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/e/electronics-engineering/overview.html

This electronics engineering option directly relates to microelectronics and its applications in communications, control and computing. Engineers in this field design and fabricate systems utilizing electronic components and subsystems. Engineering science students develop skills in systems design with a high level of scientific knowledge. This demanding program is aimed at the superior student. The program produces well educated, innovative engineers/scientists with entrepreneurial skills and attitudes who are oriented to new technologies. Program entry is competitive. Students undertake a basic core of pure, applied and engineering sciences followed by studies in a specialized option.

The general BASc program may be completed in eight academic terms plus a minimum of three co-op terms. ENSC courses emphasize learning, conceptualization, design and analysis. Built into the program are courses on social impacts of technology, finance, management, design methods and entrepreneurship intended to complement scientific studies. A special, integrated communications course completed throughout the program ensures that all graduates have the communication skills necessary to be effective engineers.

Engineering Physics

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/e/engineering-physics/overview.html

Engineering physics students learn how to understand electrical systems from two perspectives: an engineer knows how to use a transistor while a physicist knows why the transistor works. This program is demanding and multidisciplinary, and students graduate with qualifications to go on to graduate school or directly enter the industry.

Engineering Science

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/e/engineering-science/overview.html

In this program, you will solve problems with elegant but advanced solutions, from electronics to robotics to medical devices. You will bring your expert technical skills from the classroom to your mandatory co-op work experience, gaining valuable industry experience. By third year, you will specialize in one of five main options.

Mechatronic Systems Engineering

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/m/mechatronic-systemseng/overview.html

Mechatronics tackles real-world engineering problems with uniquely inventive solutions, combining the three fields of mechanical, electrical and software engineering. Students learn in a supportive environment of small class sizes, and mandatory co-operative education work experience to apply their research in the real world.

Social Data Analytics

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/s/social-data/overview.html

What is the “*big data revolution”*? How will this data transform the way businesses target consumers? How will it change the way governments make policy decisions? This interdisciplinary program draws on disciplines from the Arts and Social Sciences at SFU to answer these and other important social, economic, political and cultural questions. 

The Social Data Analytics Minor is the only degree program of its kind in Canada to provide the skills to effectively navigate, analyze, and communicate “big data” in the social science context. Students learn to collect, analyze, and critically evaluate the large volume of digitized, real-world data derived from and related to human behavior. They will learn to communicate data-driven insights to the public, scholarly community, and policymakers, and they will do so while respecting and upholding the privacy and ethical concerns that have emerged in the big data era. Everything comes together in the Capstone Project Seminar, where students work in teams to apply their skills to a real-world social or policy problem.

Software Systems

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/s/software-systems/overview.html

Software Systems is about developing software to use in everyday places ranging from cell phones to security systems to financial analysis. You will gain a practical education in the software development life cycle, taking projects from conception to delivery, and will be well prepared to secure employment thanks in part to paid co-op work experience.

Statistics

Faculty of Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/s/statistics/overview.html

Statisticians analyze data using mathematical and computational tools to glean meaningful insights into scientific problems. You'll learn the fundamentals of probability theory, statistical computing, and statistical communication. A statistics degree prepares you for a future in a world where organizations and institutions need to make sense of vast amounts of data.

Sustainable Energy Engineering

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

Website: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/programs/a-z/s/sustainable-energy-engineering/overview.html

Discover your potential in shaping a better tomorrow. The SEE program is the first of its kind in Western Canada and will immerse you in an interdisciplinary learning environment that will help prepare you to become a global leader in clean technology.

Systems Engineering

Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science
