Do you want to study circuit design, computer programming, and complex electronics systems? The field is about designing new advancements in the components of circuitry design, from RAM chips, to processors, to the touchscreen, finding faster and better answers.This program leads to a bachelor of applied science degree with an electronics engineering option. 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 engineer/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. 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. Show less

Complementary Studies Elective Courses
For students in the Electronics Engineering option, the university has agreed to reduce the total credits required in B-Soc and B-Hum courses to 9 (or 3 courses), with at least one course (3 credits) in each category. Since ECON 103-4 is a B-Soc course, for these students at least one complementary elective should be from the B-Hum category and at least one should be from the Central Issue, Methodology, and Thought Process category as required by CEAB. Please note that the same course can satisfy both of these requirements and the other complementary elective course can be any other course from either of the two categories listed below. A list of complementary studies electives can be found at http://www.sfu.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate-students/requirements-and-policies/electives.html. Other courses may be acceptable with undergraduate curriculum committee chair approval.
