Engineering
The education of engineers at UBC dates back to 1915, when the Faculty of Applied Science was one of the university’s original three faculties. UBC’s Point Grey campus in Vancouver is the only university in BC where all 11 engineering disciplines are taught and studied. When the UBC Okanagan School of Engineering received full accreditation and graduated its first cohort in 2010, the Faculty of Applied Science became UBC’s only dual-campus Faculty. Today, more than 4,500 undergraduate students and 1,200 graduate students are enrolled in UBC Engineering. Our students, faculty and researchers are innovative thinkers focused on solving real-world problems to change our world for the better.
The Difference Your Support Makes
UBC Engineering could not realize our commitment to outstanding student learning, research excellence and community engagement without the generous support of our alumni and industry supporters. We work in close partnership with individuals, corporations, foundations, service organizations and government to secure funding for projects that advance faculty and community priorities. For further information about partnering with UBC Engineering, please contact the Applied Science Development and Alumni Relations Office.
