Description:

Start a career in Engineering with Langara’s Diploma in Applied Science. This two-year program is designed for students who wish to study university engineering, but do not yet meet all the pre-requisites, or who need time to transition into the heavy workload that the study of engineering requires. Students will gain a thorough grounding in mathematics and natural sciences, including laboratory practice, and technical communications. They will also be introduced to Canadian engineering practice, history and social context, and engineering principles of case study and design.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
  •  Grade11 Chemistry 
  •  Grade11 Physics 

Applicants are required to have successfully completed a BC secondary program (Grade 12) or the equivalent, or be at least 19 years of age by the first day of the first semester of attendance.



Applicants are also required to have a minimum "B" grade in Chemistry 11 or equivalent, OR a minimum "C" grade in Chemistry 11 or equivalent and a minimum "C" grade in Chemistry 12 or equivalent. This is needed in conjunction with a minimum "B" grade in Physics 11 or equivalent, OR a minimum "C" grade in Physics 12 or equivalent. Finally, a minimum "C" grade in Precalculus 12 or equivalent is required.
Chemistry, math, and physics equivalencies are determined by the respective department chairs. If you have studied chemistry, mathematics, and physics at another post-secondary school, or at a secondary school outside of BC, please contact the program coordinator. Preference may be given to applicants who have a "C+" or higher in Precalculus 12 or equivalent.
