Green Light

Finally, after much deliberation I have received the greenlight from the Engineering Science office to work with the ECE department on their 4rth Year Design Project. However, It will also count towards my Engineering Science Thesis Credit. This is great news and it is exactly what I wanted. I would like to thank the Engineering Science administration for listen to us and working with us in the Spirit of Engineering Science. And I would really like to thank Chris Joe for making sure they heard us and what we wanted. Here is the the email I received this morning from the division:

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for your email message. You are an excellent Option representative. After much discussion, the Division has come up with a plan that will permit students to participate in, but not register into the Design project offered to the Dept. of ECE students. Each student registers into their respective courses. James and Bryan will be required to register for the thesis course, ESC499Y while their groupmates would register into the Design project ECE496Y. James and Bryan would be required to help their groupmates submit whatever reports are required for ECE, which are really group reports, and they would individually be required to also submit a thesis document. In this, our EngSci's are fulfilling our thesis requirement, while being able to participate in the ECE design projects. I have already contacted the ECE496 coordinator to let him know that our EngSci's will not be registering with their group mates for ECE496.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Many thanks,

Anyway, now Divya (My Partner) and I have the motivation to secure a project for next year. We are worried because now the project will also count towards a Thesis Credit. So this will have to be ground breaking.
