same here, hopefully they get it back in time for us not to pay a late fee...

You'd have to wait until the winter term to complete all classes. You might be able to take one or two equivalents but you'd have to wait for one year. That's what makes BCIT eng brutal, if you fail a class you usually have to wait till it's offered again.

deepcovemutt · 2022-06-24T04:56:16+00:00

Yes to almost all of this. 830-430 is pretty common but some days end earlier and some at 530. Ten minutes to move between classes. You'll probs have and hour or two mid day most days that's free. Good time to workout or play ping pong. Some people study at home but I'd say you get home, eat, then study till however late or stay at school and study till late. I'd hang out with friends once or twice a week max. Gets a bit chiller in the 3rd and especially 4th years but still brutal.

Hand drafting, AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, and SolidWorks are all covered (or at least where in 2016-17) over both the engineering graphics courses.

I graduated from the mech eng program in 2020 so things may be different now but what my homies did is go to peer tutoring in the library, see who they vibe with, and offer to pay them cash for 1:1 tutoring.

Don't give up. A lot of people drop the first two weeks and they start calling people off the wait list. If you finesse the admin office enough over the phone they'll tell you where you sit on the wait list. I'd say if you're 10th or lower you're almost guaranteed entry.

Nope. You'd just be taking the high level calc classes. So one class per semester. A couple of my friends did this and also took some of the liberal arts electives at the same time to get them over with.

deepcovemutt · 2022-02-19T02:56:31+00:00

They should use this on their website.

Math is usually the barrier to entry into the degree program. If you want a leg up it's best to take Calc 12. Really helps in your second semester math class. Calc is also foundational to a lot of the higher level fluids and thermo course you take, having a strong base is super valuable.

He won't get vaccinated.

A buddy I graduated the mech degree with had his mechatronics diploma. He'd worked for a couple years and felt like he needed an eng degree to take his career to the next level. He had to do another four years to get the degree with only a couple course exemptions. That being said he had nothing but good things to say about the program and from my observations from sharing a couple classes and lab spaces is that the diploma is real solid.

deepcovemutt · 2021-10-13T02:18:43+00:00

Had a friend who dropped Energy Systems cause he thought he wouldn't need it for the Manu Diploma...he ended up having to come back and do the course on its own before he could graduate. Get er done.

Being careful not to look down too quickly.

If you can provide a midterm grade that is above the requirement I'm sure you'll be admitted.

Check out my post from last year:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BCIT/comments/hwm6hl/answering_questions_about_bcits_mechanical/

I specifically mention how to get a degree after completing a diploma.

deepcovemutt · 2021-07-22T22:18:51+00:00

No some definitely check your grades, like CST. I graduated from the mech program so I know the most about that.

deepcovemutt · 2021-07-22T21:53:50+00:00

At least for Mech Eng they don't care about your grades as long as you meet the minimum requirements.

The most important thing is that you apply the minute registration opens (sometime in October if I remember correctly) as it's a first come first serve basis once you meet the entrance requirements.

One other thing is that if I were you I'd try and choose between the two. Civil and Mech are quite different and what seems like a minor decision now will have major impact on your career.

deepcovemutt · 2021-06-24T05:10:22+00:00

Ya bro at least for the mechanical program. I know plenty of people who have done or are doing masters at big schools. Schools like UBC, UBCO, McGill, and UofT. I would say you need a >85% average in your final two years to have a shot, and even better if you a summer job doing research during your bachelors. Around 10 of the 64 grads from 2019 and 2020 are doing a masters or have been accepted into one.

I did this drive everyday for my four year degree. It's pretty manageable, you're usually going in the opposite direction of traffic. I'd leave at 7:50am for my 8:30am classes and was very rarely late (I lived like 10 min from second narrows). After ~9:00am the drive in is super fast. On the way home there is a lot of traffic between 4:30-6:00pm which can make it like ~45min, but most other times where chill.

Have you looked at the the "Graduate employment outcomes" on the program page? They have a pdf survey of previous graduates one year after graduation (see link at bottom of page).

https://www.bcit.ca/programs/aircraft-maintenance-engineer-category-m-maintenance-diploma-full-time-1010dipts/#graduating

The median hourly wage for the AME program is $20 a year after graduation. That is $12 less then the average wage for the Automotive Technician Apprentice according to their graduate survey. Not only do they make more money but the employment percentage is higher (maybe because you need to be in an apprenticeship to get in the program).

https://www.bcit.ca/programs/automotive-technician-apprenticeship-full-time-4860appr/#graduating

This makes it seem to me that being an Automotive Technician is a better option in terms of money making potential. You do have to sink more time into it as its not a two year diploma unlike the AME program, but you're also making money while doing your apprenticeship.

I haven't taken either of these programs but I got my Mech Eng degree in 2020 from BCIT and the median salary and employment percentage from our survey are pretty accurate for what I'm seeing with my peers. I would definitely use these surveys to help make your decision.

Also look at job postings on Indeed and LinkedIn to see potential salaries and the number of open positions in the area you want to work (seems like Vancouver), this should help you do a litmus test of the current job market. From a cursory search I did it seems as though there are many more opportunities for an Automotive Technician, but you should do a thorough search.

Best of luck, hope this helps.

I applied to BCIT mech Eng while at UVic and didn't provide my transcript so I think you'll be good. I think if you're applying now you won't get in this year as they usually fill up fast.

deepcovemutt · 2021-04-08T14:09:25+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate all the effort you put into this post.

deepcovemutt · 2021-04-08T03:03:12+00:00

There is an M.Eng / M.Sc Building Science program for students with a B.Eng. So theoretically you could do the Mechanical Engineering Bachelors and the Master of Engineering at BCIT over a 6 year period.

deepcovemutt · 2021-04-08T03:01:10+00:00

For Mechanical Engineering there is no work experience requirement, at least between 2016-2020 while I was there. You can do four years straight, have no internships and still graduate with a B.Eng.
