The Engineering Studies Certificate is a rigorous undergraduate program covering subjects like chemistry, computer programming, communications, engineering design, mathematics, and physics.
This qualification aligns with British Columbia's Common First-Year Engineering Agreement, enabling students to transfer into second-year engineering programs at participating institutions throughout the province. Transfer conditions for second-year engineering vary across BC - some schools offer guaranteed admission while others have competitive processes, with program placement typically being competitive at most institutions.
