The engineering transfer program at TRU provided me with an excellent introduction to the field. Small class sizes combined with dedicated, passionate instructors allowed for lots of one on one interaction and the ability to have any questions answered quickly and fully. I believe that my experience at TRU has given me the skills I need to succeed in my career and educational endeavors.

Careers for graduates

Engineers are in demand. It is anticipated that there will be over 110,000 engineering job openings in Canada between 2011 and 2020, and that British Columbia will have one of the strongest engineering job market during the same period.

According to the 2014 compensation survey conducted by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC, the median base salary ranges from a low of $59,500 for an engineer in training to $167,500 for a top senior engineer.

Students who have transferred from TRU to either UBC or UVic have gone on to thrive in their chosen fields of study. UBC has provided data showing that TRU students perform well once integrated into UBC courses.
