Bachelor of Engineering ― University Transfer

Engineers help shape today’s world. Whatever your major ― oil and gas, chemical, computer, mechanical, civic, geomatics, electrical ― your professional life will allow you to challenge yourself both creatively and technically on a daily basis.

Off to a great start

This university transfer program allows you the benefit of completing up to the first year and a half of your bachelor degree at Mount Royal - taking advantage of the personalized learning environment, access to faculty and smaller class sizes - before transferring to another university.

One and only

Mount Royal offers the only university transfer program in the province that prepares you for the University of Calgary’s Engineering program. Mount Royal also offers a full transfer program to the University of Alberta, and many courses transfer to other Canadian engineering schools including:

• University of Saskatchewan
• University of Regina
• University of Victoria

Hands-on work labs

Learn how engineering theories are applied in real situations during individual and group lab projects. In the engineering design courses, students design, build and evaluate functional products that meet real-world needs. In the past, students have built concrete toboggans that must hold four people. They then test and race their creations ― finding out which design best utilizes the theory they've been taught.

Career choices

Engineers, especially in Alberta, are in high demand. Across Canada, engineering grads receive an iron ring to remind them of their obligation to build safe structures.

Your job title could be:

•  
• Civil engineer ― make complex mathematical or scientific concepts apply to buildings, bridges and other large structures. Use math to figure out if beams are strong enough for a building or use advanced equipment to determine the life expectancy of a road.
• Mechanical engineer ― you’ll be able to help design and test cars, planes and other mechanical equipment. Use control theory to design robots and other automated equipment, or get involved in the development of advanced products such as high-tech sports equipment.
• Chemical engineer ― design process controls for the manufacture of any number of petrochemical, household and/or food goods. Use your knowledge of chemical systems to develop safer, more cost effective and more environmentally friendly processes.
• You could also become a computer, electrical geomatics, manufacturing, petroleum or software engineer.
