is permitted in some departments. Bachelor of Applied Science Bachelor of Applied Science > Introduction The Faculty offers programs of undergraduate study leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science in the following areas of engineering: Chemical and Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Geological Engineering, Integrated Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mining Engineering.The Faculty of Applied Science admits suitably qualified applicants directly from secondary school into first-year engineering. These students will normally complete the Bachelor of Applied Science in four years, except in the case of the Engineering Physics and Chemical Engineering-Chemistry Honours programs which require five years’ study.
Students may also enter the engineering program after spending one or more years in the Faculty of Science, either because they wish to avail themselves of a broader range of electives or because they do not meet the entrance requirements for admission directly from secondary school (see Admission rom BC/Yukon Grade 12 (or equivalent)). Depending on the transfer credit in engineering received from first-year Science (see Admission from Admission from Science such students may be able to complete an engineering degree with three further years of study, otherwise ), they will require four further years. Scheduled field trips, and the activities of professional and technical societies all contribute to the rounding out of the undergraduate © 2012 The University of British Columbia | Vancouver Information in this Calendar is subject to change.

Page 4 of 55 2012/13 Vancouver Calendar The Faculty of Applied Science programs and students are expected to participate in them as fully as circumstances permit. The Faculty will consider proposals from qualified applicants for part-time study towards the Bachelor of Applied Science. Since the flexibility for such study may be limited, approval must be obtained from the Dean’s Office. Bachelor of Applied Science > Academic Advising Academic advising duties are shared between the Engineering Student ServicesOffice and departmental advisors.
The Engineering Student Services Office is located at 2332 Main Mall, Room 1100. Departmental offices have the names of the departmental advisors. The Engineering Student Services Office handles advising for all first-year students and for courses given by other faculties. Departmental advisors deal with questions regarding courses taken within the student’s own department.
Bachelor of Applied Science ; Admission Application for admission to the Engineering program must be made through Enrolment Services no later than January 31.The applicant is responsible for ensuring that all supporting documents, including official transcripts, are submitted to Enrolment Services by the deadlines provided following the submission of an application, otherwise the application will not be considered. Due to limited resources, the Faculty has been authorized to restrict enrolment in first-year engineering, and within individual engineering programs at the second-year level. Attainment of the minimum academic requirements listed below means that the applicant is eligible for selection, but does not provide assurance of admission.
The selection is based on academic standing. For most engineering programs, the competition for places is such that standing above the minimum prescribed requirements is necessary to ensure admission. The attention of applicants is drawn to the importance of mathematics as a preparation for engineering courses. Experience has shown that UBC students with grades below 65% in mathematics (below B at a college) are likely to have difficulty with many engineering courses.
Admission from BC/Yukon Grade 12 (or equivalent)In addition to satisfying university admission requirements, applicants must have completed mathematics, physics, and chemistry at the BC Grade 12-level, or the equivalent. Students will be selected on the basis of their standing in Grade 12 courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and English. Applicants from schools where either Physics 12 or Chemistry 12 is not available may petition to be excused this deficiency. UBC is prepared to offer early admission to secondary school students graduating in June based on interim or projected final grades submitted by the schools.
In addition to high academic standards, the Faculty recognizes the benefits of previous technical work and extracurricular activities. Admissible applicants from BC and Yukon secondary schools whose interim grades (and final grades where applicable) fall below 85% must submit a supplementary Application Formhttp://www. engineering. ubc.

Page 5 of 55 2012/13 Vancouver CalendarThe Faculty of Applied Science technical courses completed This information will be used by the Faculty Admissions Committee in selecting a portion of the students entering engineering. Admission from a Post-Secondary Institution Applicants from another faculty at UBC or another post-secondary institution may be considered for admission to the engineering program of the Faculty of Applied Science. An overall average of at least 65%, including any failed courses, is required. The overall average is calculated in accordance with the general admission requirement for undergraduate applicants from a college or university (Calendar page: ttp://www.
calendar. ubc. ca/vancouver/index. cfm? tree=2,25,73,0#139).
Applicants must also have an average of at least 70% in all chemistry, mathematics, and physics courses which transfer to the first-year engineering program. Courses to be considered in this average of mathematics, chemistry, and physics courses are not limited to the last 30 credits only. Where two courses, or one repeated course, have been taken which transfer to one of the courses of the first-year engineering program, only the grade of the latest course will be used in calculating this average.Admission to the engineering program is competitive.
Applicants who meet all of these criteria are not guaranteed admission. Applicants with less than 24 transferable credits from a post-secondary institution are evaluated against both secondary and post-secondary admission criteria. Applicants with more than 24 credits of transfer credit in first-year engineering may be eligible for second-year engineering. Advice on transfer credit is available from the Dean’s Office, Engineering Student Services.
Deficiencies from first-year must be completed prior to graduation.Students admitted to second year must complete a Second Year Program Preference Form by June 15. Exemptions are given for courses in first-year Applied Science for the following courses normally taken in first-year Science at UBC: Exemptions for Applied Science Course Exemption CHEM 121 and 123 CHEM 154 PHYS 101 and 102 PHYS 153 The following courses, which can be taken as electives in first-year Science, also give the exemptions indicated: Exemptions for Science Course Exemption MATH 221 or 223 MATH 152 PHYS 216 PHYS 170 © 2012 The University of British Columbia | VancouverInformation in this Calendar is subject to change.

Page 7 of 55 2012/13 Vancouver Calendar The Faculty of Applied Science Regular students are considered to be “full-time” or “part-time” as follows: In order to be considered as full-time, a student must carry a credit load in the Winter Session which is equal to at least 80% of the standard credit load for the year and program in which the student is registered.
Note that the Faculty’s definition of full-time status may not be the same as that used by Student Financial Assistance and Awards (Calendar page: http://www. alendar. ubc. ca/vancouver/index.
cfm? t http://www. calendar. ubc. ca/vancouver/index.
cfm? tree=6,231,562,787#9408 ) in determining eligibility for financial assistance. Students wishing to ensure that they are eligible for consideration for scholarships or other forms of award should check with Student Financial Assistance and Awards. A student who has approval for a credit load in a Winter Session which is less than that required for full-time status shall be considered as a part-time student. A part-time student will not normally be eligible for scholarships or for a Degree with Distinction.
Examinations Examinations are held in December and in April. In any course which includes both lecture and laboratory work, a student must complete the laboratory assignments with satisfactory standing before being admitted to the written examination of the course and must pass in the material of both components before standing will be granted in the subject. The minimum passing mark in each course is 50%. Applications for special consideration for examinations missed on account of illness or domestic affliction must be submitted to the Dean before or immediately after the missed examination(s).
For information regarding medical certificates see Academic Concession (Calendar page: http://www. calendar. ubc. ca/vancouver/index.
cfm? tree=3,48,0,0#255). Academic Standing A student will be evaluated for academic standing at the end of term 1 and term 2 of Winter Session and at the end of Summer Session, provided he or she has completed at least 12 credits of coursework, excluding co-op courses, since last evaluated. One of three academic standings is assigned as a result of an academic performance evaluation: in Good Standing, on Academic Probation, or Failed.All students are in Good Standing when first admitted to the Faculty.
A student in Good Standing who achieves a credit-weighted average of at least 55% over all courses taken since the last academic performance evaluation will remain in Good Standing. A student in Good Standing who does not achieve at least a 55% average will be placed on Academic Probation. A student on Academic Probation who achieves a credit-weighted average of at least 60% over all courses taken since the last academic performance evaluation will be placed in Good Standing.Otherwise, the student will be assigned a standing of Failed.
A student assigned an academic standing of Failed will be required to discontinue his or her studies and must appeal for readmission. A student may register for and take courses in the term immediately following the term for which the student has been assigned a standing of Failed, as the academic performance evaluation will not be made until after the next term begins. Students may not register for any courses beyond that term.Note that the grades earned during this term will not change the academic standing or the requirement to discontinue studies, but significantly improved academic performance during this term may be used to support an appeal for readmission.
A student who is assigned an academic standing of Failed for a second time will be required to withdraw from the University and will not normally be readmitted. © 2012 The University of British Columbia | Vancouver Information in this Calendar is subject to change. Visit www. calendar.

Last updated: May 12, 2012Bachelor of Applied Science > Dual Degree Program in Arts and Applied Science This program offers capable students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in five years of study, in most combinations of one Arts degree program and one Engineering degree program. A board of studies administers and oversees admission to the program.
Please contact Arts Advising or Engineering Student Services for more information. Admission Application for admission to the program is made to the board of studies through either the Arts Advising Office or Engineering Student Services.Applicants may be registered in either faculty but must be admissible to the other faculty at the time of admission to the program. Acceptance into the program will be determined based on a review of the applicant’s transcript, an interview, and on a review of a portfolio or other such material that the applicant wishes to submit.
Normally, application for admission will be made immediately upon acceptance into either faculty. Admission to the program at a later date is also possible but may imply a longer time to complete the program. RequirementsStudents must satisfy all of the program requirements for both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Applied Science degrees in their chosen programs. Individual courses may be considered to satisfy program requirements for both degrees.
Courses taken within the Faculty of Applied Science will have the same standing as courses taken within the Faculty of Science for the purpose of satisfying © 2012 The University of British Columbia | Vancouver Information in this Calendar is subject to change. Visit www. calendar. ubc.

The regulations governing the granting of a second degree apply to this program, with either of the two degrees being considered as the ‘second’ degree even though both are being taken simultaneously.
Where possible, students should meet with an advisor from the board of studies prior to enrolling in their first year of courses. Last updated: May 12, 2012 Bachelor of Applied Science ; Pre-Med Alternative PathThis alternative path is intended for students with an engineering background wishing to apply to medical schools. It provides access to courses required by many medical schools for students to be considered for admission. Registration in this alternative path is very competitive and is limited.
Students in this path follow the same requirements for first year engineering with the following modifications, in which they take: APSC 151, CHEM 121 and 123 instead of APSC 150 and CHEM 154 a first-year English course (ENGL 110, 111, 120, or 121) in place of a humanities elective (this is in addition to the required ENGL 112)The following courses are also required after first year: BIOL 121, 140, CHEM 205, 233, and 235 BIOC 300 Special standard timetables are available for first-year courses. Given the additional courses taken over and above the engineering degree, students should on the average expect an additional term to complete these course requirements along with their engineering degree requirements. Some courses may be offered in the summer term. Some programs may accept selected courses above as part of their degree requirements, thus reducing the additional time needed.
Consult the specific programs for details.Different medical schools have different course requirements. Students are strongly advised to verify the course requirements with prospective medical schools. It should also be noted that the course requirement is only one of the criteria used by medical schools to assess applications.
It is the student’s responsibility to be informed of the applicable criteria. Last updated: May 12, 2012 Bachelor of Applied Science > Curriculum and First Year First Year Students admitted into the Engineering program directly from secondary school will take the first-year curriculum.The typical transfer program is appropriate for most students transferring into the Faculty from the first year of a science program at UBC or another university or college. Applicants with more than 24 credits of engineering transfer credit may be eligible for second-year engineering.
See Admission from a Post-Secondary Institution. Other students will need to contact Engineering Student Services for advice on their first-year program. © 2012 The University of British Columbia | Vancouver Information in this Calendar is subject to change. Visit www.

Options in Third and Fourth Years In some departments selected groups of courses are offered as options which represent different areas of interest. High-quality performance in any option or field qualifies the student to continue his studies at the graduate level if he chooses to do so. Students entering third year should consult representatives of the departments concerned before registering for the courses offered.Last updated: May 12, 2012 © 2012 The University of British Columbia | Vancouver Information in this Calendar is subject to change.
