The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering (BEng Electrical) is a four year program that prepares students for a professional career as an Electrical Engineer. Graduates gain a strong practical foundation in engineering theory, analysis, and design, as well as the critical thinking skills needed to be successful as an engineer. <br>The BEng Electrical program shares first year with the Diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) to provide you with options for your engineering education. After successful completion of the first year, you can choose to continue in a technology diploma path or compete for a seat in the engineering degree program. The engineering degree path requires an additional three years of study.<br><br>The BEng Electrical is recognized as a baccalaureate degree in British Columbia by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and is nationally accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). The program encompasses a wide range of subjects designed to advance both your technical knowledge and your skills in communications, management and professional practice. A four month workplace education experience allows you to apply your developing skills prior to graduation. (See program details page for more information). In a capstone project that spans the final year, you will apply your knowledge to a complex “real world” engineering design challenge, often an industry-sponsored project.
