Engineering One in Labrador
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Arctic and Subarctic Studies are actively working together to offer Engineering One at the Labrador Campus.This program will provide pathways for students to complete the Engineering One program entirely in Labrador, for the first time.
Students who also finish Engineering One in Labrador will also receive a Certificate in Northern Technological Stewardship to reflect their unique learning environment and course content.
Indigenous governments and companies in Labrador have long identified the need for greater access to Engineering education in the region, and for the need to encourage and train more Indigenous engineers.
The creation of Engineering One in Labrador and the Certificate of Northern Technological Stewardship directly responds to this request and identified needs. It increases the accessibility of the Engineering program for learners in Labrador, while encouraging Engineering as a career path for Labrador students.
What to expect...
...during the program:
Engineering One is a common core part of all Bachelor of Engineering majors at Memorial University that builds on material from high school and provides a foundation for further engineering studies.
There will be flexible pathways through the requirements of Engineering One, to allow for learners with differing high school course backgrounds and preparations to move through the program in one year or two years.
Courses will be a combination of in-person classes and intensive field schools, as well as distance and/or hybrid courses, with labs being offered in person by the laboratory instructor.
Find more information on current Engineering One student resources here.
...after completing the program:
Engineering One at the Labrador Campus will provide a strong support network for students heading to St. John’s to finish their studies in Engineering or other STEM-related fields. Additionally, it will provide the opportunity to learn from Labrador students, and potentially continue to expand Engineering opportunities in Labrador moving forward.
Information on promotion to Academic Term 3 of the Engineering program, and on assignments of Engineering majors can be found here.
