Students who have completed first year Science studies at UCC or elsewhere may also apply for entry into the first year Engineering Transfer Program.
Applications should be received no later than March 1 for admission the following September. Applications will be accepted after March 1 if space permits. Admission to the Engineering transfer program is competitive and will be based on cumulative GPA and grades earned in prerequisite courses. Simply meeting the minimum criteria for admission from Science will not guarantee a seat in the program.
The minimum prerequisite is completion of the following together with an overall cumulative grade point average of 2.5:
CHEM 110/125 or 111/121 (or 125)1 |
(C+) |
ENGL 110 or ENGL 111 |
(C+) |
MATH 113/123 2 or MATH 114/124 |
(C+) (B) |
PHYS 115/1253 or 110/120 |
(C+) |
Appropriate Electives4 |
(9 college credits with C+ or better) |
1 For students who did not take CHEM 12 or equivalent, CHEM 110/125 are acceptable for Engineering Transfer. |
|
2 MATH 113/123 are preferred but MATH 114/124 with suitable standings will also be accepted for Engineering Transfer. |
|
3 Students who have not taken PHYS 115/125 or equivalent will be required to take EPHY 115/125 if admitted to the engineering program. |
|
4 Students should consider the following in their course planning and selection of Science electives: Transfer to UBC Engineering requires a complementary studies elective selected from ANTH 111, 119, and 121; ECON 190, and 195; ENGL 111; GEOG 119, 120, 211 and 222; HIST 103, 112, 122, and 126; PHIL 111 and 121; POLI 111 and 121; PSYC 111 and 121; SOCI 111. Sufficient standings in COMP 113 and MATH 130 can constitute credit for COMP 152 and MATH 130 normally taken in first year Engineering. COMP 123 is required for transfer to UVIC and SFU Engineering programs. |

Suitable science electives are outlined in the UCC calendar. Since some courses are common between the first year engineering and science programs, students can better prepare themselves for engineering transfer through careful course selection. Interested students should pay particular attention to course selection note 4 in the table above and consult with the program coordinator if they require further guidance.
Successful applicants with suitably high standings can expect to receive Engineering transfer credit for selected Science courses completed as outlined above. These students will be enrolled in a mixture of first year Engineering and second year science or Electrical-Computer Engineering courses selected in consultation with the program coordinator. Course selections will depend on courses previously completed, desired engineering specialization, and choice of receiving institution. These could include but will not necessarily be restricted to the following:
APSC 120 |
GEOG 119, 120, 211, 212, and 222 |
CHEM 200, 212, 222, 215, and 225 |
MATH 130, 211, 212, 222, 256, 300, and 317 |
COMP 113, 152, 123, and 2xx |
PHYS 200, 215, 225, 309, and 310 |
DRAF 152 |
STAT 200 |
EECE 254, 256, 259, 280, 281, and 285 |
Complementary Studies Electives |
EPHY 115, 125, and 170 |
ENGL 255 |
Suitable additional elective courses may be selected to round out a student's course load.
