Description

NOTE: Please note that the program doesn't award any diploma or certificate. It is called an engineering transfer program because students either transfer to another institution to complete their degrees or transfer into the 2nd year of an Engineering program at Thompson Rivers University. As the student would only do their first year in Engineering Transfer, there would be no certificate or diploma.

Jump-start your engineering studies with foundation courses in your first year at TRU, then transfer to UBC or UVic to complete your degree. If you are interested in a computer or electrical engineering degree, you can complete your second year of studies at TRU before transferring to UVic.  You will also have the opportunity to continue your studies at TRU by joining the 2nd year of the BEng Software Engineering program.

After completing the Engineering Transfer program, you will be able to continue a degree in biological, biomedical, civil, chemical, computer, electrical, environmental, geological, geo-technical, integrated, materials, mechanical, mining, software, engineering physics, and other engineering specialties at UBC or UVic.

Upon completing your degree, you will have the opportunity to become an Engineer in Training, working under the supervision of professional engineers to earn your Professional Engineer (PEng) status.

Student opportunities

During the fall semester of your first year, you will be able to meet weekly with professional engineers of various disciplines who will talk to you about their careers: what types of projects they work on, the company they work for, and more. If you plan to attend TRU for your second year of studies, you will complete a mandatory co-op term, which lasts between four to eight months.

During the fall semester of your first year, you will design a Zero Net Energy green home. During the winter semester, you will design, assemble and test a line-following robot. These opportunities allow you to quickly hone your skills in engineering design methodology.
