Are you ready to get your P.Eng.?
Start in January
天美传媒鈥檚 Engineering Bridge programs are for technology diploma grads who want to continue with third-year studies at UVic or UBC to finish an engineering degree. This is your next step to becoming a Professional Engineer.
Mechanical Engineers design and build machines and other products, such as robots, spacecraft, automobiles, artificial limbs, amusement park rides, elevators, and manufacturing equipment. If something moves or uses energy, mechanical engineering was probably involved in its design or production.
The Bridge to UVic study option is offered from January through December. You'll start your third year of the Bachelor of Engineering degree program at in January the following year.
Once accepted into UVic you will be required to participate in a mandatory Co-op, however, some work terms from your technology diploma may be transferable between institutions.
In demand
Industry professionals and educators agree鈥攖he combination of听a Technology diploma and Engineering degree creates the most desirable type of engineer.
You will gain both hands-on experiences, practical applied skills and excellent knowledge of advanced engineering courses.
The only program of its kind
The Engineering Bridge programs at 天美传媒 are unique and recognized across Canada as an excellent transition from a technology diploma to an Engineering degree (UVic) or Applied Science degree (UBC).
Although the Bridge programs are designed for graduates of technology diplomas delivered through 天美传媒,听all graduates from accredited听听programs are welcome to apply.

翱耻谤听Engineering Bridge programs听are comprised of two academic terms. Each term, you鈥檒l attend 14 weeks of class followed by an exam period. Classes are scheduled for 25-28 hours per week. Homework commitments vary per student but amount to about three to four hours per day including weekends.
If a number of years have passed since your graduation, it is strongly advised that you retake math courses in preparation for returning to school. A听听of the math topics that 天美传媒 students have covered in their technology programs has been created by instructor Raymond Lai for the Bridge program.
The Mechanical Engineering Bridge to the University of Victoria program starts with the Winter semester and ends after the Fall semester. An optional internship work term is available from May to August. After successful completion, you can transfer into the first academic term of third year engineering at UVic in January.
