Program Objectives
The enriched two-year Applied Science
(Engineering) program provides students with the
common core of courses required in the first year
of Engineering degree programs at Simon Fraser
University, the University of British Columbia
and the University of Victoria. At the same time
students gain a strong background in Mathematics
and Physics, reducing their workload in the
remaining three years of the degree.Students have
also transferred successfully into the engineering
program at the University of Alberta, and
transfer credit to other university engineering
programs may be possible. Paid co-op options
may be available. Students are strongly advised to
check with the receiving institution for specific
information on accepted transfer credit.
Program Requirements
Programs vary depending on the university a
student wishes to attend. Courses should be
chosen only after consultation with a Selkirk
College counsellor.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the two-year Engineering (Applied
Science) program requires the completion of
Chemistry 11 (Chemistry 12 recommended),
English 12, and Physics 12 with a minimum grade
of ‘C’ in each course. Principles of Math 12 with
a grade of “C+” or higher. Students who lack the
admission requirements may still gain admission to
the program by taking a combination of university
and upgrading courses during their first year. This
mode of entry may extend the length of their
program.
Effective September 2012 the admission
requirements change to:
Chemistry 11 (Chemistry 12 recommended),
English 12, and Physics 12 with a minimum
grade of “C+” in each course. Principles of Math
12 with a grade of “B” or higher.
Course of Studies
Course requirements vary among the universities.
Students are advised to plan their program with
a Selkrik College counsellor to ensure that they
choose the appropriate courses to transfer into
their university degree program. A transfer guide
is available online at www.bctransferguide.ca. The
following is a suggested course of studies for a
student interested in transferring to UBC.
