Important Notes
- All first-year engineering courses are mandatory unless transfer credit has been granted (more information about the transfer credit process can be found here).
Required Course Notes
Fall 2025 (Semester 1) Courses
- GENG 1101
- GENG 1102
- MATH 1270*
- MATH 1720*(MATH-1760 for those who have not taken MCV4U)
- PHYS 1400
* If you did not take Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) in high school, please identify yourself to the WINONE Office for First-Year Engineering by sending an email to WINONE@uwindsor.ca once you are ready to complete your Fall 2025 registration. In most cases, you will be asked to register in MATH 1760 instead of MATH 1720.

* GROUP 1: all students whose ID ends in an odd number (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9…)
** GROUP 2: all students whose ID ends in an even number (i.e., 0, 2, 4, 6, 8…)
When multiple course sections are available, students are grouped according to their student ID number. Students whose ID number ends with an odd digit (i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) are identified as Group 1 students and must register for Group 1 course sections for all courses. Students whose ID number ends with an even digit (i.e. 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) are identified as Group 2 students and must register for Group 2 course sections for all courses. Following instructions carefully will ensure that you do not experience timetable conflicts. See the engineering timetables posted on the WINONE website for Group 1 and Group 2 students as well as for up-to-date class numbers; the “class number” is a unique four-digit number that can be useful when searching for courses on UWINSITE Student during registration.
Required Courses
GENG 1101: Engineering I
Overview of the engineering profession: fields, career development, sustainability, health and safety, relation to society, business and entrepreneurship, ethics, equity, and Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation process. Academic integrity, strategies for university success, academic regulations, engineering-related extracurricular activities. Effective oral and written technical communication: informative and persuasive presentations; resumes and job search communications; technical writing and formatting; information gathering and analysis; research documentation and referencing; the use of visual tools such as graphs, figures, and tables; e-portfolios; and technical reports. (Open only to Engineering students.) (3 lecture hours and 1.5 tutorial hours weekly)
GENG 1102: Engineering Graphics
Visualization techniques, graphical communication using sketching, descriptive geometry, and computer- aided design (CAD) for orthographic projection, pictorial drawings, dimensioning, section views, and auxiliary views. Reading engineering drawings. Engineering graphics e-portfolio and CAD project to develop visualization skills and task completion skills. (Open only to Engineering students.) (4.5 hours weekly.)
MATH 1270: Linear Algebra (Engineering)
This course will cover linear systems, linear transformations, matrix algebra, determinants, vectors in Rn, dot product, orthogonalization, diagonalization, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, in the context of and with an emphasis on a broad range of applications in Science and Engineering. (Prerequisite: MATH-1280 or both Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)) (Antirequisite: MATH-1250, or MATH-1260.) (3 lectures hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.)
MATH 1720: Differential Calculus
This course will cover trigonometric functions and identities, inverse trigonometric functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, mean value theorem, indeterminate forms and l’Hôpital’s rule, antiderivatives and an introduction to definite integrals. This course is for students who have taken both Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U). Students who do not have credit for MCV4U should take MATH-1760. (Prerequisites: Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or MATH-1780.) (Antirequisite: MATH-1760.) (3 lecture hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.)
PHYS 1400: Introductory Physics I
First semester in a four-semester sequence in calculus-based introductory physics with an emphasis on mechanics. (Prerequisites: Grade 12“U” Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus or equivalent. Recommended co-requisite: MATH-1720.) (3 lecture hours per week, 3 laboratory hours per week.) Open to students in Engineering, Human Kinetics, Forensic Science, Bachelor of Arts and Science, and all programs within in the Faculty of Science; exceptions only with the permission of the Head or designate. (Antirequisites: PHYS-1300, PHYS-1305.)
