Introduction

piihtikway, pihtikwe tawāw, Come in, Indigenous students interested in Engineering. Welcome to our session for the Indigenous Student Experience Days!

Let us tell you about the RE-ENGINEERED first-year program

Succeed in Engineering!

We've changed first-year engineering to focus on your success. Our experts in engineering education talked to students and professors and studied the latest research in teaching and learning.

Your classes won't last the full semester - they'll be shorter so we can cover more topics. You'll be able to take what you've learned in one class and immediately apply it in another. And, because you'll be quizzed and tested throughout the semester - we've eliminated final exams.

Indigenous Students in Engineering

We provide meaningful access to engineering for Indigenous Peoples, while we build and maintain respectful relationships with Indigenous communities.

We strive to provide an inclusive environment in the college that welcomes Indigenous Peoples. We highlight and celebrate Indigenous understanding.
