Welcome to Engineering Program
Your UBC Engineering journey is about to begin! This summer, the Welcome to Engineering Program will be with you every step of the way, introducing you to dedicated resources to help you transition to university. With the fall term just around the corner, keep an eye on this space for everything you need this summer to prepare for your first year.
In Early June, you will receive a link to the Welcome to Engineering Handbook on Canvas which will give you a head start on how the Engineering program at UBC works. We will walk you through the enormous number of resources available for you to access. You can also chat with other incoming students and ask questions on the discussion boards.
Check out our Welcome to Engineering Summer Events! Meet current Senior Engineering Student Leaders who will be facilitating panel sessions on a variety of topics to help you prepare for UBC Engineering. Bring your questions and begin to connect virtually with your peers.
Continue the conversation and get to know your future classmates over on Discord. To access the link, visit the Welcome to Engineering Handbook.
