Preliminary Year
The preliminary year is common to all programs in engineering. The preliminary year (1st year engineering) consists of 12 courses. Students must complete a minimum of eight courses in the preliminary program prior to enrolling in one of the engineering programs.  Please follow the Requirements & Applications link on the right to view more details on the new preliminary year program.

All of the following six programs are accredited by The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. Although work experience in a field of engineering is not required for graduation, all six Engineering Programs are offered in either Cooperative or Internship modes. These programs typically provide 12 months (or as many as 16 months in an Internship) of work experience.
