Be the Architect of Your Future

The University Transfer Engineering program allows students to complete one year of coursework in preparation for applying to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program at the University of Alberta. With a concentration in engineering, students can pursue careers in aerospace, agricultural, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, geological, industrial, materials, mechanical, metallurgical, mining, municipal, nuclear, petroleum engineering, or engineering physics.

Students planning on transferring to an institution other than the University of Alberta are encouraged to consult with an engineering faculty advisor who can assist them with interpreting university requirements.
