Learn Beyond the Classroom

The Engineering Transfer Program (Certificate and Diploma) and Integrated Engineering Technologist Diploma Program provide students with a solid foundation in physics, mathematics, computer programming, computer aided drawing, as well as project management principles, enabling students to pursue careers in mechanical, electrical, civil and computer engineering. Students in these programs can choose to conduct one or two optional co-op work terms between the first and second years. These co-op experiences not only allow students to acquire invaluable field experience but also enable them to return to their academic studies with a deeper understanding of the real-world applications of their course work, providing clarity and direction for their future career development.
