A DYNAMIC LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The School’s world-class faculty are committed to an instructional approach that is varied, experiential, and engaging. Our close-knit, student-centered program ensures high levels of student-professor interaction and collaborations, enhanced laboratory experiences, and opportunities for field trips.
Our research clusters (advanced materials and manufacturing, advanced systems, clean technologies and environmental systems, health technologies and urban infrastructure and green construction) are making waves. Research conducted at the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia ranks above or on par with per publication outputs in top citation percentiles amongst the top five engineering universities in Canada. What this means for undergraduate students is more opportunities for hands-on research experience.
The School of Engineering has a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty. Amongst our student body, 60 countries are represented. Our Aboriginal enrollment has increased by 35% since 2013.
For over a decade, researchers at the School of Engineering on UBC’s Okanagan campus have been building partnerships to innovate in areas as varied as fuel-cell technology, composite materials, wearable devices, wastewater recovery, microfluidics, industry 4.0, intelligent systems, smart materials, transportation and nano-technologies. World-class faculty and facilities enable us to support many stakeholders in the community including students, industry, not-for-profit organizations, and the general public.
