SEG3904 Innovation Research Project

If you are looking for a technical elective, SEG3904 allows you to receive credit for work you do on an innovation research project as long as it is supervised by a software engineering professor.

Here is how it works:
1) You find a Software Engineering Professor or any professor with a P.Eng. who agrees to supervise your project
2) Write up a proposal that both you and the professor agree to – here is an example proposal
3) You submit the proposal via email to the Associate Director, Software Engineering for feedback and approval.
4) you register for SEG3904 at the undergraduate office on first floor SITE (showing them the approval from the Associate Director)
You can register for SEG3904 in any semester.

CEG3185/CEG3585 SEG and CSI students often find this course challenging due to the Physics and Math in the course.
Here is a listof tutorials that have been put together to help students. ALSO, this text book by Behrouz A. Forouzan is recommended. It is much easier to understand than the book by Stallings and has good practice questions.

Specific Advice for First Year Students on Probation

Presentation for 1st year students on probation
In addition, I have been suggesting to students in grade trouble, the following priorities:

First priority:
Take only as many courses as you can do well on (minimum C+ for pre-req courses and electives (Mat, Science etc.) and minimum B+ for core courses (ITI, CSI, SEG, CEG). Above all else, know what the DROP deadline is and drop courses unless you are sure you are going to get a reasonable grade. For winter semester, the drop deadline is March 20.

Second priority:
Retake courses that you received a grade of D, D+, E, and F ... do not bother with supplementals unless you can get a C or higher.

Third priority:
ITI1121 is a hard course. Make sure you do well in it. It is offered in the summer .. you do not have to take it this semester.
