Summer Diploma-to-Degree Program

The summer Diploma-to-Degree program is designed to help incoming diploma students transition into university life and to prepare to them complete their post-diploma Bachelor of Engineering in two years. The program also provides students transferring from their diploma program with the opportunity to learn more about their post-diploma Bachelor of Engineering degree program, meet faculty and staff, and get to know their peers.

The summer Diploma-to-Degree program is delivered online through synchronous learning with virtual in-class participation and quizzes. Students need to be ready to commit full-time to participating in these summer courses. Students are only required to attend in-person for the final 10 days of the summer program. The 2025 dates are listed below.

The program comprises four courses in total. A student who passes all four courses proceeds to Year 3 of their post-diploma Bachelor of Engineering program without condition.

2025 Program Dates

• Part One (ONLINE): June 14, 2025 – July 11, 2025
• Part Two (ONLINE): July 14, 2025 – August 6, 2025
• Part Three (IN-PERSON): August 18, 2025 – August 28, 2025

Please note these dates are provisional. Students will receive formal notification of the dates when they receive an offer.

Courses

Students are assigned four summer Diploma-to-Degree courses overall. These will be confirmed to you prior to your enrolment, and are subject to change based on an individual assessment of the student.

All post-diploma students are required to take Engineering 3021: Analysis A.

A further three courses are assigned based on the post-diploma discipline the student is entering.

All Students (1 course)

• Engineering 3021: Analysis A – Application of algebra, series, and calculus to the analysis of engineering problems.

Assigned based on Bachelor of Engineering program (3 courses)

In addition to “Engineering 3021: Analysis A”, post-diploma students will typically be assigned three additional courses based on their discipline for the summer program:

Chemical Engineering

• Engineering 3022: Analysis B – Application of advanced analysis techniques to engineering problems, including use of differential equations, laplace transforms and matrix algebra.
• Engineering 3016: Engineering Mechanics – Applications of the principles of statics, kinematics, dynamics and strength of materials to engineering problems.
• Engineering 3017: Electronics – Electronics and its applications to instrumentation and controls.

Civil Engineering

• Engineering 3022: Analysis B – Application of advanced analysis techniques to engineering problems, including use of differential equations, laplace transforms and matrix algebra.
• Engineering 3014: Engineering Chemistry – Basic principles and relationships of chemistry as applied to engineering.
• Engineering 3015: Engineering Thermodynamics – Fundamental laws of thermodynamics and their application to engineering.

Electrical Engineering

• Engineering 3053: Analysis C – Application of matrix methods, Fourier series, Fourier transform and Laplace transform to linear differential equations for engineers.
• Engineering 3015: Engineering Thermodynamics – Fundamental laws of thermodynamics and their application to engineering.
