Engineers help prevent disease, reduce poverty and create solutions to protect people and our planet: engineers are humanitarians, innovators, visionaries and entrepreneurs. An in-demand and rewarding option, in almost any industry you can imagine, engineers are involved. Many engineers also use their degree to become doctors, lawyers, CEOs and entrepreneurs.

These amazing opportunities, as well as all our program options are all showcased in our new Engineering Viewbook (3 copies/school in the mail). Please forward these viewbooks to your career counsellors. If you would like copies for yourself or to request more, please contact outreach@apsc.ubc.ca.
