Common first year

Course selection

You don't have to worry what courses to pick when you start engineering. We've taken care of that for you. In your first year, you will take 10 courses in design, mathematics, science and engineering principles to prepare you for what's ahead.

Classes

We create class blocks to help you with scheduling. Once you pick a block, and enroll in the assigned courses, this allows you to share your classes with the same group of students all year. It's our way of helping you form study groups and make friends from the very beginning.

Choosing your major

Following a first year that exposes you to all of the engineering majors we offer, you enter your program of choice in your second year. Our Engineering Student Centre is here for you, helping you decide which major, and potentially minor, to pursue.

Guaranteed program placement

We offer guaranteed first choice of program to students who successfully complete all 10 technical common-core courses in their first year. No need to apply to enter the engineering discipline you want to pursue - the choice is yours.
