Program Changes Computer Systems Engineering
Department of Systems and Computer Engineering,
Carleton University, Canada
Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 2/11
March 2017 Computer Systems Engineering
Why Are We Here? • Substantial changes to the Computer Systems
Engineering program have been approved by the
University Senate.
• These changes affect the courses you are to take for
your degree.
Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 3/11
March 2017 Computer Systems Engineering
Why is the Program Changing? • The “computer hardware” component of your
program has not been updated for many years.
• The existing program has limited coverage of network
and software security, an area that is of growing
importance to software engineering.
Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 4/11
March 2017 Computer Systems Engineering
Computer Hardware • The following courses are being removed from the program:
SYSC 2001 – Computer Systems Foundations
SYSC 2003 – Introductory Real-Time Systems
SYSC 3601 – Microprocessor Systems
SYSC 4507 – Computer Systems Architecture
ELEC 2607 – Digital Switching Circuits
ELEC 3500 – Digital Electronics
• They are being replaced by three new courses:
SYSC 2310 – Introduction to Digital Systems
SYSC 2320 – Introduction to Computer Organization and
Architecture
SYSC 3310 – Introduction to Real-Time Systems
SYSC 3320 – Computer Systems Design
SYSC 4310 – Computer Systems Architecture

March 2017 Computer Systems Engineering
Network & Software Security • New course: SYSC 4810 – Introduction to Network
and Software Security
With society’s ever-increasing reliance on computing and
telecommunication comes the need to ensure that our
information technology is protected against unwanted
intrusion and disruption. This course will give
engineering students exposure to some of the key issues
involving network and software security.

Other Changes • ECOR 2606 – Numerical Methods has been moved
from fourth year to second year.

What Do You Need To Do? • You need to decide whether you want to change to the
new program or remain in the old program.
• All students need to inform the department of their
choice, either by signing the appropriate signup sheet
or by sending an email to [email protected].

Reasons to Change to the New Program
• If you started in Fall 2016 or later you should change
to the new program.
• Exposure to modern technologies
• Reordering of course material makes it easier to learn.
Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 9/11
March 2017 Computer Systems Engineering
Reasons to Remain in the Old Program
• You’ve already completed ELEC 2607, SYSC 2001
and SYSC 2003 These courses will not count towards your degree if you change
programs
• If you started in Fall 2015 or earlier, you may be able
to graduate earlier if you remain on the old program.

Warning
• If you choose to remain on the old program you
should be aware that SYSC 2001 and SYSC 2003 are
being phased out SYSC 2001 – Last offered in Fall 2017
SYSC 2003 – Last offered in Winter 2018
• If you don’t complete SYSC 2003 in Winter 2018,
you will have to change to the new program, and your
graduation will be delayed.
