Program Description

Students interested in the certificate must apply to the Engineering Transfer Diploma. Prior to starting classes in September students must indicate their interest in exiting with their Engineering Transfer Certificate. Upon successful completion of the first year (40 credits), students will be eligible to receive the Engineering Transfer Certificate. The Engineering Transfer Certificate program prepares students to transfer into the University of British Columbia - Vancouver Campus (UBC-V), the University of Victoria (UVic), or Simon Fraser University - Burnaby Campus (SFU-B) engineering in their second year. This program contains the first-year core courses required from each of these institutions including physics, chemistry, engineering design, computer programming, mathematics, and communication skills. Upon successful completion, graduates who complete the entire Engineering Transfer Certificate program curriculum are: Guaranteed admittance into 2nd year Engineering at UBC-V if program completed within 8-months and with a minimum required GPA. Guaranteed admittance into 2nd year Engineering at UVic with a minimum required GPA and grade in each curriculum course. Guaranteed admittance into 2nd year Engineering at SFU-B if program completed within 16-months and with a minimum required GPA. Placed in a common pool with all students (regardless of first-year institution), for competitive entry into their 2nd year engineering program choice at UBC-V, UVic, or SFU-B. Average GPA for entry into a specific engineering program at UBC-V, UVic, or SFU-B changes each year depending on the number of students applying and the number of seats available.
