Succeed with built-in academic and peer support

Engineering Jumpstarts: Review key high school material with online resources and assessments designed to help you start your engineering journey strong.

Study Squads: From day one, you’ll be placed in a squad to complete assignments together—offering built-in connections and study partners.

Help Sessions: Every Monday-Friday there are structured study sessions where you can get help with multiple classes; it’s also a structured space to study and complete assignments.

Support your learning and school/life balance.

Modular Courses: Take shorter, focused courses instead of full-semester classes, helping you cover essential material more effectively.

Just-in-Time Learning: Learn key concepts in one class and apply them right away in another, making your studies more connected and relevant to real-world engineering.

Block Registration: Register for a block of classes with a pre-set schedule of courses and labs, shared with about 50 students—perfect for building community and study groups.

Flex Schedule

Balancing family, work, sports, and studies? The Re-Engineered Flex program offers an alternative schedule that helps you succeed both academically and personally.

Smooth Transition: Spread first-year courses over two years to help you transition into engineering.

Full-Time Status: Maintain full-time student status while reducing your course load.

Reduced Stress: Ease into your studies with a manageable pace, reducing the pressure of a heavy course load.

Increased Flexibility: Accommodate family, work, sports, and other commitments without compromising your academic goals.

Revitalized to get you inspired and excited about engineering.

Strong transition to engineering

• Engineering Jumpstarts before your classes start in fall, so you know you're prepared for first year
• Review of life and study skills, including time management, critical thinking and peer-to-peer teaching skills
• Introduction to engineering: scope of the profession and career paths

Broader exposure to natural sciences

• Get a strong introduction to the natural sciences in fall term, rather than taking one natural science elective
• Take short courses in chemistry, biology, physics and geology
• You'll understand how the sciences relate to each other and engineering

Introduction to all engineering disciplines

• Spend a day with each of your top discipline choices before end of Fall Term
• Choose your discipline before end of Winter Term
• Do Discipline Bridge Course at end of Winter Term to get motivated and excited about second-year engineering

Holistic approach to the engineering profession

• Business content focussed on awareness of entrepreneurship and how that relates to design
• Understand and appreciate the importance of respect, diversity, and inclusivity
• Learn Indigenous cultural context, settign the stage for integration of Indigenous content in the curriculum

Be more employable after first-year

• Proficiency in one computer-programming language
• Training in basic first-aid, CPR, and WHMIS training and understanding of an engineer's professional obigation for health and safety

Refocused so you can master the skills you need

Evaluation throughout the semester: You will be tested on modules of content throughout your courses using competency-based assessment.

70 percent minimum on basic material: You will need to achieve a mark of at least 70 percent on material involving facts, concepts, basic computations, and procedural steps, as well as basic integrative problems in the course. There will be no minimum standard for the very advanced material.
