Certificate in Engineering Transfer (First Year Engineering)

Camosun College

With the Engineering Transfer program you get an introduction to engineering mechanics and project design in addition to a solid foundation in first year science and English. When you’re finished, you’ll be ready to enter into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) or Bachelor of Software Engineering (B.S.Eng.) at the University of Victoria (UVic). Or, you can apply for course-to-course transfer to engineering programs at other post-secondary institutions. Your courses are spread over 10 months instead of the traditional eight months. This allows for more time to absorb and master the fundamentals. Camosun provides a natural transition from high school to university. Smaller classes and more class time for each course allow you to benefit from more interaction with your instructor and fellow students. You will take three terms over the course of ten months. Terms 1 and 2 take place at the Lansdowne campus in the fall (September to December) and winter (January to April). Term 3 takes place at the Interurban campus in the summer (May to June). After mastering the basics of math, physics, English, chemistry, and computer science during the first two terms, you will learn about engineering design and mechanical engineering in your final term. After your time at Camosun, you will be well on your way toward your Engineering degree at UVic or at another university.
