If you’re in Electrical Engineering . . .
Make your choice based on what you believe to be your talents and interests! Your profs . . .
◮ can’t accurately predict the job market for interns in 2017; ◮ can’t accurately predict the job markets for new
graduates in 2018 and 2019;
◮ totally can’t predict the evolution of job markets over the
course of all of your careers!

Disclaimers
These slides should give you a clear explanation of the essential differences between the “regular” Electrical Engineering degree and the Electrical Engineering degree with a Computer Engineering minor. However, do NOT use these slides as a definitive guide to degree requirements, for two main reasons . . .
◮ The official University of Calgary Calendar for 2016–17
has not yet been published.
◮ The author of these slides may have made some minor
errors. Complementary Studies requirements are the same for both programs, so I’ve left them out to keep things as simple as possible.

About fourth year technical electives
All Electrical students will get some degree of choice, but . . . . . . you can’t have perfect freedom of choice, because many of the technical electives have prerequisites in the third year curricula.
