PROGRAM OUTLINE |
|
The 13 courses of the ETP are arranged in the manner shown in the following tables. This order of courses is used so all the pre-requisites can be met, the work-load is relatively balanced, students don’t have to choose between UBC and UVic until the second semester, and there is some flexibility to deal with common problems. Students in the 24 reserved seats will have specific places reserved for them in these courses creating a workable schedule. The registration codes for this idealized schedule is sent to all students enrolled in the program.
Students intending to do the courses in the ETP in one year without being admitted to the ETP should also try to follow this schedule, but variations may be necessary. This is discussed in the e-mails sent out to all applicants.

|
| Note 1: |
As a general rule the elective must be taken from the Faculty of Arts. However, scientific geography, and studio/performance courses in the fine arts, music, and theatre will not satisfy this requirement. Introductory language courses in a student’s first language, as well as business and kinesiology courses, are also not acceptable. |
| |
| Note 2: |
Unless stated, the minimum grade acceptable in all course prerequisites is a C-. |
| Note3: |
UBC accepts either the pair of courses Comp 150 + Comp 155 or the single
course Comp 152
UBC requires a minimum 2.5 GPA. UVic requires a minimum 2.33 GPA.
|
Program Completion |
|
Second, third, and fourth year are completed at UBC or UVic. Courses may also transfer to alternative institutions. Students must apply formally for admission to the awarding institution. Some students choose to take two years at UFV and take all 13 courses of the Engineering Transfer program plus their second-year math courses and additional electives before they transfer. However, these students do not get reserved seats. |
|
|
Students may also be able to qualify for entry to UBC Engineering by going through General Sciences, as described under the "Transfer from General Sciences" link.
|
|
Engineering Studies at Other Universities |
|
Many of the above courses transfer individually to other universities offering engineering programs. Student Services advisors should be consulted to determine the transferability of each course to the university of interest. UFV offers a number of second-year coursesin math and science which also transfer individually. | |
