UCC offers both a first year Engineering Transfer program as well as a second year Electrical-Computer Engineering Transfer program.
The first year is general in nature and common to all engineering specializations. Although the primary transfer paths have been to UBC and UVic, transfers elsewhere are also possible.
The second year is for Electrical or Computer Engineering only and specifically prepares students for transfer to the University of British Columbia. Electrical – Computer Engineering Transfer Year 2 (EECE Year 2) is a unique program delivered in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Applied Science. It is equivalent to the second year of Electrical and Computer Engineering degrees offered by UBC and satisfactory completion will prepare students for transfer into UBC third year Electrical or Computer Engineering studies.
In B.C. and Alberta, the following universities offer Bachelors degree programs in engineering disciplines: Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta.
Transfer is possible from UCC into degree programs at all five universities, to various extents as described below. Admission to the engineering faculty at any university is competitive, and reaching the minimum required standard is no guarantee of entry. Selection depends on academic performance.
All applicants interested in obtaining an engineering degree are strongly recommended to consult current university calendars to familiarize themselves with the programs available.
UCC's major engineering transfer pathways have been to UBC and UVIC. However UCC Engineering students have also successfully transferred to Engineering programs at SFU and some universities outside the province. UBC, UVic, and SFU consider engineering transfer programs such as UCC's as making significant contributions to the completion of engineering degrees in BC. Engineering transfer programs are recognized as a desirable means of beginning engineering degree studies. Small class sizes and the strong teaching focus typical of engineering transfer programs offer the potential for increased student success.
