Bioengineering Minor - Thesis Option

Background

Registered students may receive credit towards their Bioengineering Minor Program by completing a thesis or design project at their home department instead of enrollment in BME498Y. However, all minor programs are managed by the Cross-Disciplinary Programs Office (CDP). Students must request CDP approval to receive course credit.

Procedures

Before you begin:

1. Consult the undergraduate office of your home department to receive written permission (e.g., email correspondence) to undertake a Bioengineering-related thesis or design project
2. Enrol in the Thesis Option course for your department
3. Complete a Minor Thesis Approval Form and submit the signed form to CDP (engineering.minors@utoronto.ca)
4. Begin your thesis or design project

After completion:

5. Provide a one-page summary of your results (if you completed a group project, a second page with individual work breakdown is required) to receive your course credit
