As an Engineering student at UNBC, you'll experience close-knit cohorts, experiential learning opportunities, and an unforgettable small campus community.
Student-centred programs
The School of Engineering boasts exceptional student-instructor ratios that allow for every student to play a pivotal role in their cohort. This student-centred approach ensures that engineering is for everyone.
Experiential Learning and Co-operative Education (Co-op)
The dynamic coursework in our programs allow students to take a hands-on approach to engineering, including access to state-of-the-art labs and research opportunities. Engineering's undergraduate programs culminate in a senior capstone project, which allows student teams to design real-world solutions to challenges facing communities in the region and across the province.
UNBC also offers Engineering students optional co-op work terms, which provide real-world work experience and opportunities to network with professionals in industry. For more information visit the Co-operative Education page.
