From disaster to discovery: WIRL's structural resilience

From misfortune came the opportunity to examine a mass timber structure's ability to withstand a series of extreme events, as the University's cutting-edge laboratory was the closest exposure to a natural gas blast.

Engineering students capture second place at national competition

What began as an interesting challenge to solve for the final assignment as part of their undergraduate degrees went on to capture attention at a national engineering conference.

The puck does not stop here

From being presented with the problem to designing and building their devices, secondary school students from across the region spent months preparing to launch their innovative ideas into action for the School of Engineering's first High School Design Competition.

Master of Applied Science in Engineering

Thesis Program | 30 credit hours

The Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Engineering is a research-based degree and the first of its kind offered in northern B.C. Students in the North can now pursue their master's in engineering disciplines, such as, but not limited to, civil, environmental, structural, and building sciences.

Overview

As a student, you will work closely with the School of engineering faculty and establish expertise in your chosen specialization with a focus on addressing engineering challenges specific to the North and cold environments. your work over the course of this 30-credit degree will culminate in the development of an original research project and a thesis.

This program is for candidates who wish to develop career interests related to applied scientific research or who intend to pursue further academic research degrees.
