Engineering First-Year at KPU is a two-semester program designed for well-prepared students to meet the requirements for direct transfer to the second-year of an engineering degree program.

KPU's Engineering First-Year program includes many of the courses and topics common to the first-year of engineering degree programs at UBC, UVic and SFU.

In addition to the Faculty's Admission Requirements, which consist of KPU's undergraduate English Proficiency Requirement, the following program admission requirements apply:

• Principles of Physics 12 (or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C
• Chemistry 12 (or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C+
• Level A1 as defined in the Mathematics Alternatives Table

Only those applicants who meet all of the program’s admission requirements, as outlined above, will be considered for admission into the Engineering First-Year program. Meeting the criteria does not guarantee admission into the program. Up to 50 applicants will be selected using the highest cumulative GPA from English, mathematics, chemistry and physics courses required for admission

Students who are not selected, or who do not meet the Engineering First-Year admissions requirements, or who wish to study part-time, are advised that alternate pathways exist for engineering transfer at KPU. These students are encouraged to visit the Department of Physics and Engineering homepage, or see an Academic Advisor, for information on these alternate pathways of engineering transfer.
