" Students should apply to take this exam before the end of the preceeding Semester. The Quantitative Methods Exam consists of a 1 hour exam covering EMSE 271 and a 1 hour exam covering either EMSE 208, EMSE 254 or EMSE 273. Students should fill out the [|DQE checklist]and either fax or mail it to the department, to the attention of Ms. Zoe Danzan." (EMSE Website, Program Requirements page)
