Students in this program will study Physics for their first two years. They will then transfer to Fanshawe College, where they will study for a further two years and three months in either Electronics Engineering Technology, or Control Engineering Technology. Students in both programs work for a total of sixteen months in CO-OP placements. Successful candidates will be awarded a Three-Year BSc in Physics, and a Diploma from Fanshawe College. Students may also choose to study for one additional semester in the Electrical Engineering Technology program and will be granted a second Diploma from Fanshawe College.

A first year program with:

Options that will be particularly useful in this program include courses in Applied Mathematics, Business, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics. Students should take a half-course in linear algebra before the end of their second year. Applied Mathematics 2411, 2413 and 2415 all have Applied Mathematics 1411A/B and 1413 as prerequisites. Students transferring from Engineering will have to include Computer Science 1027A/B in their second year. Students should consult a counsellor in the appropriate department before selecting their options.

Students will transfer in May to Fanshawe College, to complete Level Three of the common first year of the Electronics and Control Engineering programs. They will spend the next eight months as CO-OP students in industry. At the end of this experience, students must choose to study either Electronics Engineering or Control Engineering.

In years one and two, students will register and pay fees at The University of Western Ontario. For Levels Three to Six, students will register and pay fees at Fanshawe College.
