Program details
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering is a four-year program consisting of one year of common foundation studies, followed by three years of studies in one of five areas of focus: biosystems, civil, computer, electrical or mechanical engineering.
Expected duration: 4 to 5 years
The preliminary year, consisting of 12 courses, is common to all programs in Engineering and lays the foundation for more advanced and specialized studies in later years. Following the first year, students can apply for one of five majors. Though each major has unique courses and requirements, they all include a combination of coursework and labs, culminating in a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
Students must gain entry into one of the five majors in order to complete the degree. Admission into a major is competitive based on GPA, which is calculated using the best eight grades from the 12 possible courses completed.
- Biosystems Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering

Learning beyond the classroom
Every student in Engineering has opportunities to apply the theoretical foundations of classroom learning to real-world design problems throughout the program.
In the Co-operative Education and Industrial Internship Program (Co-op/IIP), you can complement your study with paid work experience. Competition, representational, and special-interest societies allow you to connect with fellow students with shared interests. And student exchange programs let you complete part of your degree at one of several partner universities around the world.
Admission requirements
The following are minimum requirements for entry into the BSc in Engineering program. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
Direct Entry applicants are those who have not attended a post-secondary institution or have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at a recognized university or college. Direct entry applicants require the following:
- Manitoba high school graduation including 5 full credits at the Grade 12 level in courses designated S,G, or U
- A minimum average of 80% over the following, with no less than 70% in each of English 40S, Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, Chemistry 40S and Physics 40S.
Advanced entry applicants are those who have completed one year (24 credit hours) or more of studies in another faculty at the University of Manitoba or another recognized post-secondary institution, including several required courses.
If you do not meet the requirements for direct or advanced entry into the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, you can apply for admission to University 1, the Faculty of Science, or another program.
