AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY

The qualities we aspire to build in students are embodied in the Schulich Engineer – individuals whose skills and training lead to a role in the workplace and in society that goes “beyond engineering.”

At the Schulich School of Engineering we are able to offer the largest engineering scholarships in the country, to invest half a million dollars every year in student travel through study abroad trips or clubs and team events, and to reward teaching excellence. The quality of education – as well as research – has been significantly enhanced through the $25 million investment in 2005 by Seymour Schulich and matched by the Government of Alberta.

The school’s Bachelor of Science degree programs in nine areas of engineering are all fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. All first-year students take a “common core” foundation year that exposes them to the variety of engineering disciplines offered in second year as paths towards a particular discipline. All Schulich programs offer minors in specialized areas and joint degree programs.

With enriched hands-on learning opportunities, leadership programs and academic support, it is a powerful time to study engineering in Calgary. Open up your world of opportunity at the Schulich School of Engineering.

LIFE AS A SCHULICH STUDENTWill it be a big change from high school? First-year students take 10 half-courses and quickly learn to manage their workload. Class sizes range from a small tutorial or lab of 20 students to lectures of 120 students. Courses are arranged so that the same students attend classes together, facilitating opportunities to build a strong peer group. The workload is quite intense and mid-term exams can start as early as the first week of October, so keeping up with work is a priority.

Is there support? Once you make it into engineering school, there are strong support systems to help you succeed and thrive. Don’t be afraid to ask for help along the way – we’re here to train strong successful engineers. There is an extensive orientation week for all first-year and transfer students, called U of C 101. Once classes begin, the Devon Academic Resource Centre offers one-on-one academic assistance from faculty and graduate students. The centre also runs tutorials for some of the larger and more challenging first-year courses. The student society and Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) provide exam preparatory resources from old exam booklets to mid-term and final preparatory tutorials.

How do I choose a program?Toward the end of your first year, you’ll be asked to rank your top preferences for programs. Based on your GPA and the successful completion of the 10 first-year courses, you will enter a program for your second-year of studies. Students choose their program preferences based on their interest and passion for a particular area of engineering.

What options do I have?Beyond the nine majors and two specializations you may also pursue a joint degree or minor with almost any other faculty on campus. There are many possible combinations to suit the unique engineer you will become.

ENGINEERING IS CHALLENGING AND DEMANDING, BUT ALSO VERY COLLABORATIVE, REWARDING AND FUN. THE ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ SOCIETY ORGANIZES OVER 300 EVENTS TO HELP STUDENTS MAKE FRIENDS, RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY AND STAY CONNECTED. ENGINEERING WELCOMES STUDENTS FROM MANY DISCIPLINES AND BACKGROUNDS AND ENCOURAGES INTERDISCIPLINARY AND JOINT DEGREE STUDIES.
