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.
