Professional engineers apply principles of science and mathematics to solve real-world problems and achieve practical goals through innovation. This field requires a creative mind, scientific knowledge and powerful problem-solving skills. The first year of studies at RDP will provide you with fundamental skills in mathematics, computing and science. You will apply this learning to solve engineering problems in such courses as Engineering Statics, Dynamics and Design. The program is based on the first year of Engineering at the University of Alberta, and is designed to transfer in full to the U of A. |
