Program Summary

Let your imagination run free as you learn how to
successfully design and create lasting structures
from the ground up.

BUILD YOUR DREAM CAREER

Engineers are thinkers and builders who apply
science and math to every aspect of modern life. They
design and develop the products and processes that
we use every day. Engineering is a solid career path
leading to high-paying jobs and satisfying work.

You'll learn how to make your mark in physical
structures in our first-year Engineering Transfer
(Applied Science) program. By starting your studies
with us, you’ll get a strong background in math and
physics, leaving you with a lighter workload in your
degree’s remaining three years.

You can complete your first-year science, math,
and engineering requirements with us, as well as
take any prep courses if you don’t already have the
necessary prerequisites. Successful completion of
this certificate program allows you to transfer your

ENGINEERING CO-OP

Co-op education lets you integrate your first year of
academic study with periods of paid, related work
experience. Co-op work term credit is transferable to
university co-op engineering programs.

Admission Requirements

Programs vary depending on the university a student
wishes to attend. Courses should be chosen only
after consultation with a Selkirk College counsellor.
Admission to the first-year Engineering Transfer
(Applied Science) program requires the completion
of the following courses (or equivalents) with a
minimum grade of 80% in each course unless
otherwise stated:

— Chemistry 12

Pre-calculus 12 or Principles of Math 12
— Physics 12

— English 12 with a minimum grade of "C+"

All students are expected to have their academic
readiness assessed by the College Readiness Tool
(CRT). Applicants will also have an interview with the
School Chair.

Tf you are interested in the program, but do not have
the Prerequisites, please contact the School Chair.
We will look at pathways for motivated students.
This mode of entry may extend the length of your
program. Completion within one year has some
transfer benefits.

Program Courses

APSC 100 - ENGINEERING GRAPHIC
COMMUNICATIONS

This course is an introduction to the principles of
graphic communication used in the engineering

field. In this course the following topics are covered:
orthographic projections; isometric drawings; section
and auxiliary views; dimensioning; descriptive
geometry topics including intersections and vector
analysis; applications vary from geology/mining
