Engineers serve society across a wide range of economic sectors in a number of capacities. Engineers require a solid technical and academic background, good communication skills, and the ability to work across a number of disciplines. Engineers design structures; bridges; mines; dams; transit systems; pollution control systems for air, water, and soil; and much more.
UNBC offers three engineering degrees at the undergraduate level – a Civil Engineering degree, an Environmental Engineering degree and a joint Environmental Engineering degree with UBC. (UNBC also offers a graduate degrees in engineering. See the Graduate Calendar.) These degrees prepare graduates for a wide range of employment opportunities where their technical expertise and problem-solving skills are required. The programs provide graduates with a strong awareness and understanding of environmental issues and problems. Our graduates are prepared for employment with engineering firms of all sizes in consulting, construction and resource industries (e.g. forestry, fisheries, mining, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and the agri-food industry), as well as government ministries and research organizations. Our graduates help shape the new environmental and civil engineering economy.
The Civil and Environmental Engineering degrees start with a similar first year in which the basic sciences and mathematics are emphasized along with an introduction to the engineering discipline. In second year, a number of courses are common in all of the engineering degrees but program requirements start to differentiate between the Civil and Environmental Engineering degrees. In the remaining years, some of the courses are common to both programs while each degree degree develops the in-depth knowledge to allow students to qualify within their discipline upon graduation. The final years expose students to practical engineering problems.
UNBC offers an integrated approach to Civil Engineering which is in keeping with the themes of design, lifecycle assessment, sustainable materials, and low-impact development throughout. Today’s civil engineer not only designs the infrastructure essential to modern society (buildings, bridges, highways, transit systems, water and waste treatment facilities, foundations, tunnels, dams, etc.) but also analyzes the effects of deterioration on infrastructure elements while considering system interdependencies and life-cycle impacts. Civil engineers must consider environmental impact and economic sustainability in the development of modern infrastructure.
UNBC offers an Environmental Engineering degree that integrates basic science with modern engineering practices. Environmental and ecological problems are an increasing concern for all Canadians, including in the northern portion of British Columbia due to a primarily resource-based economy. Our graduates are prepared to take on challenges facing modern society, including water, air, and soil pollution control; solid waste management; contaminated site remediation; the protection of society from adverse environmental factors; and the protection of environments from potentially detrimental effects of natural and human activities.

Admission Requirements
Admission to the program is limited and based on academic qualifications and available space. Priority admission is given to students who meet the admission criteria and apply by the deadline of March 1.
Applicants from BC and Yukon secondary schools must
- Meet UNBC admission requirements, and
- have an average of at least 75% based on the following five courses or equivalent: Pre-calculus 12 (minimum 67%), English Studies 12 (or English First Peoples 12), two approved academic Science 12 courses, and a fifth grade 12 course (elective or additional approved academic course). Physics 12 or an equivalent is strongly recommended as it is a prerequisite for first-year Physics courses in the program. Students who are admitted without the Physics 12 prerequisite may be delayed in their studies as they may not be able to complete the first four semesters of the program in the normal two-year time period. Meeting the minimum GPA does not guarantee admission. Under exceptional circumstances the prerequisites may be waived.
Other applicants must demonstrate that they possess qualifications at least equivalent to the BC and Yukon requirement.
UNBC is part of the Common First-Year Engineering Curriculum agreement. Students who complete the Common First-Year Engineering Curriculum at sending institutions in British Columbia may be admitted into second-year. Students who complete the Common First-Year Engineering Curriculum at sending institutions and who meet the minimum acceptance requirements at UNBC are guaranteed admission.

Transfers
Transfer into the program is allowed provided the prerequisite courses or articulated courses are completed and space is available in the program. Acceptance of transfers into the program is based on GPA with priority given to those with the highest GPA. The admission GPA for transfer students into the Environmental Engineering program is assessed on the following four courses or their university transferrable equivalents: Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12, English 12, and two provincially examinable Science 12 courses. In order to be considered for admission into the program, transfer students must have at least a 75% average based on these four courses or their equivalents. In addition, the following requirements for the four courses apply:
- UNBC Civil and Environmental Engineering degree programs: Where both high school and university transfer coursework are provided for each of these four courses, the most recent GPA for each course is used. Transfer students must also have an overall Cumulative transfer GPA of at least 2.00, which is based on all their university transferrable coursework. Regardless of the articulated courses transferred, students must satisfy the residency requirement of a minimum of 90 credit hours.
- UNBC/UBC Joint Environmental Engineering degree program: Where both high school and university transfer coursework are provided for each of these four courses the highest GPA for each course is used. Transfer students must also have an overall Cumulative transfer GPA of at least 2.00, which is based on all their university transferrable coursework. Regardless of the articulated courses transferred, students must satisfy the residency requirement of a minimum of 90 credit hours. These may be fulfilled through a combination of courses taken at UNBC and UBC, provided that at least 30 credit hours are completed at each of the two institutions.
Qualification for Degree
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the degree requirements are met. General graduation requirements are found in the Regulations and Policy section of the UNBC Calendar.
UNBC Civil and Environmental Engineering degree programs:
Students must
- have a Cumulative GPA of 2.00 (C) on courses for credit towards an Engineering degree;
- obtain a minimum passing grade of 1.67 (C-) in each of ENGR 217 and either CIVE 400 and CIVE 401 (Civil Engineering) or ENVE 400 and ENVE 401 (Environmental Engineering);
- complete all requirements of the BASc program within eight years counted from admission into the program or from the first Engineering course used for credit towards the degree.
UNBC/UNBC Joint Environmental Engineering degree program:
Students must have
- a good academic standing at both institutions to graduate;
- a Cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 (63%) over all courses taken at UNBC;
- an average of at least 55%, and passing grades in at least 65% of the credits taken at UBC.
The degree parchment will carry crests from both granting institutions (UNBC and UBC).
Letter of Permission
Once admitted to Engineering at UNBC, students who want to take course work at another institution for credit must obtain a Letter of Permission prior to registration in the course..
Students who complete courses without first having obtained a Letter of Permission risk not having those courses accepted for transfer credit. A student who has committed an academic offense or is on academic probation may be denied a Letter of Permission for subsequent course work. Students should consult the Engineering Academic Advisor before considering course work for transfer credit (refer to Academic Regulation 19).

Environmental Engineering Degree Program Requirements (UNBC/UBC Joint Program)
The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Applied Science program is a 4.5 year (nine semester) joint degree between the University of British Columbia and the University of Northern British Columbia. The program is based on a unique collaboration between UNBC and UBC that capitalizes on the strength of UNBC in Environmental Science and the breadth and depth of engineering at UBC. It incorporates complementary elements and expertise from each institution while exposing students to the distinctive character of both institutions. The program starts with a two-year foundation in mathematics and basic and environmental sciences from UNBC. In the third and fourth years, the program provides a thorough education and training in engineering fundamentals, engineering analysis and engineering design, largely through courses in Civil Engineering and Chemical and Biological Engineering at UBC. The final term at UNBC exposes students to practical environmental engineering problems.
The joint UNBC/UBC Environmental Engineering program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.
The joint UNBC/UBC Environmental Engineering program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.
Regulations
Unless otherwise specified, the rules and regulations are those applicable at the institution (UBC or UNBC) which the students are attending at the time the rules/regulations need to be applied. In the case where the rules and regulations are needed to cover the program as a whole, or where the institution of attendance is not relevant, then the more stringent rules/regulations are applied. Academic appeals are handled using the procedures at the institution where the rules/regulations need to be applied.
Leave of Absence
Students wanting to take a Leave of Absence must apply to the Environmental Engineering Advisor at the institution that the student is currently attending. Upon approval, students are eligible for up to a one-year Leave of Absence. Students who do not apply for a Leave of Absence are withdrawn from the Environmental Engineering program.
Transit Between Institutions
Transit between years and institutions requires good academic standing in the program at the most recent institution of residence (UNBC or UBC).
At UNBC, good academic standing means a student must have a Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or greater in required 1st and 2nd year courses (including 3 credit hours of Humanities or Social Sciences), and must have successfully completed all ENGR, ENVE, MATH and STAT courses. For transit to UBC, all transit requirements must be met by April 30th of the year of transfer.
At UBC, good academic standing means an average of at least 55%, and passing grades in at least 65% of the credits taken. Refer to the UBC Environmental Engineering website (enve.ubc.ca) for more details on UBC to UNBC transit requirements.
