WHO WE ARE
The School of Engineering is an integral part of the Faculty of Applied Science at UBC. It was founded in 2005 to address a need identified by industry leaders and academics in the Okanagan. Today, the School of Engineering is working with an ever-expanding network of academic, industry, government and community partners to train outstanding engineers, advance research, and benefit the world around us.
We offer undergraduate programs in computer, civil, electrical, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering and graduate degrees at the master’s and doctoral levels (MDes, MEng, MASc, PhD) that continue to respond to the demands of local, national, and global communities.
Message from leadership
Guided by our values and inspired by our community, the School of Engineering at UBC Okanagan is dedicated to offering world-class education and multi-disciplinary research.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment in which all students, faculty and staff can contribute, belong, and thrive.
Our rapidly changing world needs well-trained people who know how to ask bold questions, challenge assumptions, break barriers, and innovate for the greater good. Our School is modelling positive change in higher education and the field of engineering.
We are building for the future – redefining what research, development and education (RD&E) can look like in the Okanagan and beyond.
We invite you to join us.
Dr. Will Hughes, Director, School of Engineering
