Acadia University - A Great Place to Study Engineering in Canada

Welcome to the Ivan Curry School of Engineering - Acadia University. We are an excellent first step on the way to becoming a fully recognized Professional Engineer.

We offer 2 Applied Science programs at Acadia, the CAS (Certificate of Applied Science) and the BASc (Bachelor of Applied Science). Either of these programs can be used as a starting point in Engineering.

CAS - Certificate of Applied Science

2 Year Program

Our 2 Year Certificate of Applied Science completes the first 2 years of the accredited 4 year Engineering degree. The CAS can be taken on its own or simultaneously with any program of study offered at Acadia.

After completing the CAS at Acadia students are granted automatic acceptance into the 3rd year of the accreditted Engineering degree programs at DAL or UNB. The transfer is guarenteed and automatic upon completion of the CAS. You can specialize in any of the different discipline choices listed below.

Biological Engineering	Electrical Engineering	Industrial Engineering
Chemical Engineering	Environmental Engineering	Mechanical Engineering
Civil Engineering	Forest	Materials Engineering
Computer Engineering	Geological	Mineral Resources Engineering

BASc - Bachelor of Applied Science

3 Year Program

This 3 Year Program offers an opportunity to obtain an Acadia degree along with your CAS and expand your field of study beyond the bounds of the accredited engineering program. You may choose to add study from areas outside of Applied Science, including Buisness, Biology, Chemistry, Computers, Environmental Science, Geomatics, Geology or Physics. You can complete the BASc as a stand alone program or combine it with the CAS should you wish to carry on with your engineering studies after completion.

Other Options

The Applied Science program at Acadia is extremely flexible. It is possible to complete the CAS simultaneously with degrees in many other areas of study at Acadia. It is also possible to use Applied Science courses to complete minor or second major requirements in many other programs of study without actually completing the CAS itself. Students interested in these options should consult with the Director of the School.

First Year Students

First year engineering curriculum is set for the first term, as there are no electives. Students can be completely pre-registered by the Engineering Department or if they would prefer to sign up for themselves, the required courses for the 2010-11 scholastic year are as follows:

First term:

APSC 1113, APSC 1413 or 1223, Math 1013, Phys 1013, Chem 1013

Second term:

APSC 1133, APSC 1223 or 1413, Math 1023, Phys 1023, Chem 1023 and either Math 1323 or Math 1333
