Bachelor of Science in Engineering

Students at the University of Calgary enroling in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program start with a common first year, where they will take 10 courses in design, mathematics, science and engineering principles to prepare them for what comes next.

Then, students can choose from biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, engineering physics, geomatics, mechanical, oil and gas, software, or sustainable systems engineering to specialize in as of their second year.

Learners get access to hands-on, experiential learning through things like the Schulich Studio, which integrates lectures, labs, tutorials, design labs, collaborative assessments and team-based learning. The program is accredited (for most majors) by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, ensuring graduates meet the standards needed for licensure and professional practice in Canada and beyond.
