Overview

This full-time, one-year Engineering Foundations Certificate is designed for students who want to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree in engineering at another institution and who prefer a gradual transition from high school. The program provides the courses for first-year engineering, including chemistry, physics and calculus. Small class sizes mean you鈥檒l get lots of one-on-one time with instructors plus opportunities to get to know your classmates and work together in teams.

Transfer to university

All courses in the Engineering Foundations Certificate program are university transferable. A course is considered university-transferable if it transfers to at least one of British Columbia鈥檚 five research universities (UBC, UBC-Okanagan, SFU, University of Victoria or University of Northern British Columbia).

Transferring to UBC

Completion of the Engineering Foundations Certificate program within a period of two consecutive semesters, with a minimum GPA of 3.1, meets the requirements of the UBC Engineering Transfer Program and makes you eligible for a seat in the second year of UBC鈥檚 Engineering Degree program. See the more information tab for full eligibility details.

If you鈥檙e looking for a more gradual transition into UBC Engineering, you should instead consider our two-year Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program. The diploma program also qualifies as a UBC Engineering Transfer program, and can make you eligible for a seat in the second year of UBC鈥檚 Engineering Degree program.

Completion of the Engineering Foundations Certificate program also makes you eligible for a seat in the second year of UBC鈥檚 Wood Products Processing degree, an award-winning program that will prepare you for a career in the wood products sector and related fields.

Transferring to SFU

Completion of the Engineering Foundations Certificate can provide you with a guaranteed seat in the second year of SFU鈥檚 Engineering Science Degree program, Mechatronics Engineering program or Sustainable Energy Engineering program. See the more information tab for full eligibility details.

Transferring to UVic

Completion of the Engineering Foundations Certificate can provide you with a guaranteed seat in the second year of UVic鈥檚 Engineering Degree program. See the more information tab for full eligibility details.

Further studies at Douglas College

The Engineering Foundations Certificate fulfils several of the course requirements for our Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies. The diploma also meets the prerequisites for the UBC Engineering Transfer program and to the UVic Engineering guaranteed transfer program, while also providing practical experience that will give you a competitive edge in the job market and help you land cooperative education placements in university programs.
