Conference Proceedings: Proceedings of the 2018 Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA-ACÉG) Conference. Conference date: June 3-6, 2018. Location: Vancouver, British Columbia. This poster was originally published as: Dick, B. (2018). Common first-year engineering curriculum in British Columbia. Proceedings of the Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA-ACÉG) Conference. Vancouver, BC.: Canadian Engineering Education Association. https://dx.doi.org/10.24908/pceea.v0i0.12967 Labour market demand for engineers continues to outpace the capacity of postsecondary institutions to produce new entrants to the field. Providing for the diverse pathways students may take for their education could both increase the numbers of potential candidates, as well as improve the likelihood of those candidates successfully completing engineering programs. The British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfer (BCCAT) Engineering Articulation committee leveraged overlap within the content and delivery requirements of first-year engineering programs at most engineering schools in the province and developed a sector-wide common first-year engineering curriculum. Funding has been provided by the BCCAT Transfer Innovation Project (TIP) program. https://viurrspace.ca/bitstream/handle/10613/26105/Poster.pdf?sequence=4
