Build Your Dream Career
Engineers are thinkers and builders who apply science and math to every aspect of modern life. They design and develop the products and processes that we use every day. Engineering is a solid career path leading to high-paying jobs and satisfying work.
You’ll learn how to make your mark in physical structures in our first-year Engineering Transfer (Applied Science) program. By starting your studies with us, you’ll get a strong background in math and physics and a firm foundation for your degree’s remaining three years.
You can complete your first year science, math, and engineering requirements with us, as well as take any prep courses if you don’t already have the necessary prerequisites. Successful completion of this certificate program allows you to transfer your credits towards an engineering degree at UBC, UBC Okanagan, SFU, UVic, or the University of Alberta. Most of Selkirk's first-year engineering courses transfer to universities across Canada.
Coordinated with the East and West Kootenay Branches of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC, Selkirk College organized a day-long field trip to Kimberley on September 10, 2016 to tour the Kimberley Underground Mine and the Sunmine Solar Facility.
