First Year Engineering

Dr.

Theodore Von Karmdn,

widely

recognized

as

the father

of modern

aerospace science, once wrote,

Scientists

study

the

world

as

it

is, engineers create the world that never has

been . lf

you

possess

an

innate

curiosity for how

things

work,

enjoy solving

problems,

and

want

to build things

that will

change

the

way

people

live, consider a career as an engineer.

The academic

road towards becoming

a

professional

engineer

starts at Capilano University. Specifically,

the

First

Year

Engineering

Program

at Capilano University

provides

students with a comprehensive first-year transfer

program

in

engineering. The

program

is

aimed

at

strong academic

high

school

graduates.

Since the

program

is

transferable,

the subsequent completion

of

the

Bachelor's degree

at the

receiving institution

generally

requires only

three additional

years

of

study.

the University of

British

Columbia

(UBC),

Therefore, students

who complete

the

First Year

Engineering

program

are

guaranteed

admission

to

second-year

engineering at UBC

provided

they

satisfy

the

UBC

on

the

UBC

Engineering Transfer

program

admissions website. The Faculty of

Applied Science

at UBC offers

programs

leading to the

Bachelor

of

Applied

Science

(8.A.5c.)

degree in the

following

areas of engineering:

Biological

and

Chemical,

Civil, Computer, Electrical,

Geological,

lntegrated,

Mechanical, Materials, Mining, and

Engineering Physics.
