Practical Elements
in Mechanical Engineering (PEME)
1. Is there an enrolment cap in the PEME program?
9. Where do I get my bus passes?
10. What about Services for Student with Disabilities (SSD)?
11. May I take other courses at UWO?
13. May I still take the Internship Program (IIP) at UWO?
1. Is there an enrolment cap in the PEME program?
For the inaugural offering of the PEME program, there will be an enrolment cap of 18-20 students. This cap is likely to change in future years.

What is the cost of the PEME program
3. What will be discussed in the Interview?
Students will be interviewed to assess which eligible students are best suited for the PEME program.
4. What about my other options at UWO?
Students may combine the PEME program with all other options available to them at UWO including concurrent and combined degrees, Summer Co-op and IIP. Upon completion, students will have a Bachelor of Engineering Science degree from UWO and a PEME certificate from Fanshawe College. The two programs are entirely separate and there is no advanced standing in either direction. The PEME program is likely to give students a decisive market advantage in design and manufacturing jobs.
5. Will this affect my academic record at Western?
Upon successful completion of the certificate program (minimum 60% average with no failures), the students will receive a certificate of completion from Fanshawe College. In addition, a grade of “Pas” will appear on the student's Western transcript for the course ES2275 – Engineering Externship. If a student does not successfully complete the PEME program, a grade of “fai” will appear on the students UWO transcript. Fanshawe will provide a separate academic record with the completed courses and their corresponding grades. Note: passing the PEME program is not a prerequisite for maintaining good standing in the MME program at UWO.
6. Will enrolment in PEME affect my UWO
Scholarships?
All continuing UWO scholarships will be deferred while you are at Fanshawe taking the PEME program. The scholarships will resume upon returning to UWO in September 2011.
Applications to OSAP for financial assistance during the PEME program must be made through Fanhawe College.
8. Am I still eligible for Varsity Athletics?
You will not be eligible to play varsity sports at UWO while you attend Fanshawe for the PEME program. You may participate in intramural sports at either institution.
9. Where do I get my bus passes?
As you are a full-time student of Fanshawe College for the PEME Program, bus passes and student plans will be available to you through Fanshawe College.
10. What about Services for Student with Disabilities (SSD)?
Fanshawe College has an analogous program to that offered at UWO. Students will be required to provide all necessary information to the College to be eligible. Students will be encouraged to consult with the Student Life Office at Fanshawe College to discuss accommodation prior to starting the program in September. Although every effort shall be made to accommodate students with disabilities, Fanshawe College reserves the right to deny entrance to the program for individuals with disabilities that may pose a health and safety risk, or prevent them from achieving the program learning outcomes.
11. May I take other courses at UWO?
Students enrolled in the PEME program will not be allowed to take courses at UWO during the period September 1, 2010 – April 30, 2011.
Students enrolled in the PEME program are strongly encouraged to enroll in the summer co-op program at UWO for the summers preceding and following the PEME program.
13. May I still take the Industry Internship Program (IIP) at UWO?
Students who elect to take the PEME program are still eligible to take the Internship Program at UWO. If this is the course of action, it is recommended to take the PEME program following the second year of the MME program leaving the period after third year for the Internship Program.
