Description

Capilano University's Engineering Transition Diploma program provides mature students a pathway to obtain an applied science degree, en route to becoming professional engineers. 

The program also caters to recent high school graduates who lack the prerequisites for entry into a traditional engineering program. 

Successful completion of this program ensures that students who transfer to an engineering degree program at another institution in British Columbia typically require only three additional years of study to complete their degree. 

We also offer three engineering microcredentials if you're not quite ready to start a program, but are interested in pursuing STEM.  

Careers:  

  • Biomedical engineer 
  • Civil engineer 
  • Environmental engineer 
  • Geological engineer 
  • Mechanical engineer 
  • Software engineer
