Complete first-year engineering at VCC and apply for admission into second-year degree programs at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The first-year University Transfer Engineering Certificate provides students with the opportunity to explore options and demonstrate success at the first-year level of university studies. Students may attempt admission at UBC or other institutions. The courses and GPA required for transfer to other institutions may vary at transfer. A graduate with a University Transfer Engineering Certificate has reliably demonstrated to a first-year university level the ability to: Demonstrate an understanding of the scientific method and apply it to critically solve problems Demonstrate proper laboratory techniques, including the use of appropriate equipment and instrumentation Develop original designs to solve engineering problems Collect, analyze, and interpret laboratory data, and draw aconclusions
