Courses
This page outlines the courses you must take as part of the BSEng curriculum, organized according to our recommended schedule. There are also additional schedules for your first year of engineering.
While there is some flexibility in how you organize your terms at UVic, following this schedule helps you stay on track with the BSEng degree requirements—certain required (core) courses are only offered one time per year, and there are many prerequisites/co-requisites that determine the order courses can be taken, which our recommendations take into account. For help organizing your course schedule, contact one of our program advisors in the Engineering Undergraduate Office.
Consult the UVic Calendar for the official list of BSEng program requirements, other approved course substitutions, and to verify . Information about complementary studies electives, natural science electives, and technical electives can be found on the Curriculum page.
New BSENG Program Effective September 2024
The following changes are being made to the program effective September 2024
- Removing ENGR141, PHYS111 from the program (was in term 1B)
- Adding one additional Natural Science Elective to term 1B (i.e., PHYS111 is replaced by an open Natural Science Elective, which a student may choose to be PHYS111)
- Moving CHEM101 from term 2A to term 1B
- Moving one Complementary Studies Elective from term 4A to term 2A
- Changing SENG499 to 3.0 units (in term 4A) to better reflect the workload expected in this course
The program remains at 71.5 credits.
