Current
This program provides foundational engineering education, enabling eligibility to apply for advanced placement in Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board undergraduate programs. The diploma provides a thorough grounding in mathematics and the natural sciences, including laboratory practice, and also technical communications. Students are introduced to Canadian engineering practice, history and social context, and engineering principles of case study and design.
Typically students begin their studies with APSC 1010, 1050, and CPSC 1050 in the first semester, followed by MATH 1170, CHEM 1118, and PHYS 1118 in the second semester.
APSC 1010 and 1050 are only offered in the fall semester. Students who register in APSC 1050 must also register in the APSC 1010 corequisite. Diagnostic testing and/or remedial courses may be needed before registration in English and math courses.
Students with less than 80% in English 12 will be required to write the LET (Langara English Test) or LPI (Language Proficiency Test) during their first semester at Langara.
