Engineering First-Year Certificate
This two-semester certificate matches the first year of engineering programs at universities like UBC, UVic, and SFU. You’ll take standard first-year courses in math, physics, and chemistry, along with engineering-specific subjects like design, graphics, and microcontrollers. It's an ideal program for students planning to transfer into a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering.
Program Highlights:
- Two-semester, full-time program
- Transfer-friendly curriculum
- Courses aligned with UBC, UVic, and SFU
- Includes engineering design and microcontroller programming
- Pathway to KPU's Bachelor of Science, Physics for Modern Technology
Engineering Physics Diploma
This new diploma blends the applied focus of engineering with the foundational science of physics — from motion and energy to systems and design. It’s a flexible option for students who want to study part-time, need course upgrading, or want a pathway to continue into KPU’s science degrees or transfer into second-year engineering programs at other universities.
Program Highlights:
- Ideal for part-time study or upgrading
- Combines physics and engineering for real-world problem solving
- Transfer options to a second-year engineering degree at UBC, UVic, of SFU
- Pathway to KPU’s Bachelor of Science, Physics for Modern Technology program
