First Year Program
Curriculum
The first-year engineering program consists of a Standard Timetable (STT), a 3 credit Humanities and Social Science elective, and a 3 credit English/Communication course. The STT will include the majority of courses required for your first-year program. Click here for Pre-Biomedical PBME timetables information.
A maximum of 3 credits in a language course can be used towards your degree requirements.

Pre-Requisites for Engineering Programs
For the most up-to-date program-specific requirements, please consult the Academic Calendar.
The following tables indicate the first-year engineering courses that are pre-requisites for upper-year (years 2+) courses by the program. First-year BASC students are expected to complete all STT courses before advancing to 2nd year. Students are encouraged to book an appointment with an academic advisor before dropping any courses. Failure to do so could impact academic standing, academic progression, study permits, and student loans.
Please click on the program name to view the prerequisites.

Complementary Studies
As part of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board requirements, you must complete courses from each of the following Complementary Studies categories.
| Requirement | Credit Requirement | Courses | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Ethics, Equity and Law | 2 | APSC 450 | Civil and Geological engineering students will take CIVL 402. Biomedical engineering students will take BMEG 455. Manufacturing and Mechanical engineering will take MECH 400. |
| Communication | 6 | WRDS 150B or equivalent, and Year 2 Technical Communication course List of accepted equivalents to WRDS 150b: | Students will take WRDS 150B, or equivalent in Year 1 in addition to their STT. ENGL 140 does not satisfy this requirement. WRDS 150B, or its equivalent, must be taken prior to the start of Year 3. Students who do not meet this requirement will be limited to 12 credits in term 1 of their year 3 standing and no further credits until completion of the requirement. Note: Some programs contain second-year courses that require WRDS 150 as a pre-requisite, and some require successful completion of WRDS 150 prior to beginning second-year. Therefore, it is recommended that students make every effort to complete this requirement prior to the start of second year. Technical Communication is a mandatory course taken in Year 2 and is normally part of your Standard Timetable. Please consult with your program to determine if you need to add this course to your schedule manually. Students who do not meet this requirement will be limited to 12 credits in term 1 of their year 4 standing and no further credits until completion of the requirement. |
| Engineering Economics | 3 | BMEG 401 CHBE 459 CIVL 403 CPEN 481 ELEC 481 MECH 431 MINE 396 MTRL 455 | Students must take the course which corresponds with their specialization (ie: MECH students must take MECH 431). This course is built into third or fourth year STTs. Exceptions include IGEN and GEOE students, who may take any Engineering Economics course. |
| Humanities and Social Sciences Electives | 6 | 6 Credits from the Faculty of Arts focusing on the study of people, culture and social issues | Students can take almost any course offered within the Faculty of Arts to fulfill the Humanities and Social Sciences elective requirement. Students can take a maximum of 3 credits in a language course towards fulfilling this requirement. If you are considering a Minor in Arts, Commerce, or Entrepreneurship, you could use this opportunity to take a course that fulfills both requirements. For example, if you are considering a Minor in Commerce, ECON 101 would satisfy the Engineering Humanities and Social Sciences elective as well as one of the Minor in Commerce courses. The following topics and courses cannot be taken to fulfill the Humanities and Social Sciences elective requirement: scientific geography courses, statistics courses, technical or scientific courses, studio/performance courses in fine arts, music and theatre, ANTH 140, ARCL 140, CLST 301, PHIL 125, PHIL 220, PSYC 218, VISA 110 To ensure a course is eligible prior to registering, please review the Humanities and Social Sciences Electives course list. |
| Impact of Engineering on Society, Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship | 3 | APSC 261 APSC 262 APSC 367 APSC 377 APSC 462 BMEG 402 (previously BMEG 400a) CIVL 200/250 DES 130/ENDS 211 DES 230/ENDS 221 ENVE 203 MECH 410T MECH 410U PLAN 211 PLAN 341 Approved Courses are effective as of May 2022. | BMEG engineering students will take BMEG 402 (previously BMEG 400a). Effective 2023W: BMEG 402 is open to students in all programs, but BMEG students will have registration priority and seats for other programs may be limited. CHML and CHBE engineering students will take APSC 261 or APSC 262 which is included in their third year STT. Students may replace APSC 261 or APSC 262 with APSC 367. CIVL engineering students will take CIVL 302 which is included in their third year STT. CIVL 302 is only available to CIVL students. ENVL engineering students will take ENVE 203, which is included in their second year STT. ENVE engineering students will take ENVE 203, which is included in their third year STT. ENVE 203 is only available to ENVL and to ENVE students. Students in other programs may take any of the listed courses unless specified above. Courses may not be offered every year. Consult the course schedule for current availability. |
Program Specific Requirements
Program specific degree requirements are listed in the UBC Academic Calendar, and can be viewed using the links below. The information reflected in the calendar is for the current academic year. Program requirements may change between academic years due to accreditation requirements or curriculum updates. If you started your program in a prior year your degree requirements may vary slightly, we recommend that you contact your Faculty Advisor to confirm if you have questions.
