From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The School of Engineering[1] offers undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels of engineering programs on behalf of the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus.

In this school, undergraduate students follow a common first-year curriculum which sets the foundation of knowledge before deciding on a specialization going into their second year and beyond[2].
