Course Description

Program Description Are you a creative person with big ideas? Looking for a career that will challenge you? Engineers are responsible for solving many of the challenges of modern life. As an engineer, you have the ability to create anything you want – from key rings to robots to airplanes – by pulling knowledge from science and mathematics. In year one of the two-year Engineering and Fabrication Technologies Diploma program, you will complete the academic courses required for the first year of a bachelor’s degree in engineering at a university. In year two, you will develop practical skills in design and prototyping that will boost your resumé if you apply to a Co-operative Education program. You’ll gain experience constructing and programming robots, using a Raspberry Pi to control mechanical devices and using cutting-edge fabrication technologies such as water jet cutters and laser cutters. All academic courses in the Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program are university transferrable, and will fulfil the requirements for the first year of a bachelor’s degree in engineering at most universities in BC. Completion of the courses in the Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program, along with meeting a minimum GPA, satisfies the requirements of the UBC Engineering Transfer Program and can provide you with a guaranteed seat in the second-year of UBC’s Engineering degree program. More detailed information can be found in the “transfer agreements” tab on this page. In addition, if you meet the minimum GPA and course completion requirements, you are also eligible for a guaranteed seat in the second-year of the UVic engineering degree program.
