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 course schedules. Information about complementary studies electives, natural science electives, and technical electives can be found on the Curriculum page.
If you have taken ENGR141 and PHYS111 as part of the common Engineering first year, these can count as a technical elective and a natural science elective, respectively. Speak with the SENG advisor for more information.
