Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc)
Program at a Glance
The School of Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) will embed experiential learning opportunities to engage students from day one. Project-based and problem-based learning will be integrated throughout the curriculum:
Years 1 & 2 will provide a scientific and engineering foundation on which the rest of the program will build upon.
Years 3 & 4 will offer a unique portfolio of advanced engineering courses including technologies and systems for energy harvesting, conversion, storage and use. In addition to engineering, students will learn entrepreneurship, economics and policy studies.
Capstone projects will require students to design and implement sustainable energy solutions, and to integrate business, social and economic models into sustainable engineering design.
Mandatory co-operative education will provide students the opportunity to take part in three paid work terms in the industry. This will allow students to earn industry experience and sharpen their skill sets.
Accredited curiculum allows students to fulfill the requirements to become a professional engineer.
