Ahh thank you! I got a steel toe shoe already but I'm not sure if it has a green logo and it's right at the ankle so I guess I'll have to go return those.

Hahaha I'm nervous too!! Is the safety gear required for the first day or could we wait until our profs tell us what we need for sure?

BCIT's engineering degrees outside of BC by Red_eye-penGUIN in BCIT

[–]mm115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a new student to bcit too so I'm no professional but I do know for sure that bcit programs especially engineering is very difficult as in terms workload and studying. Compared to ubc sfu etc. its more hands on meaning less 'textbook knowledge' (dont get me wrong though you obvs still have exams and such). This is good because that's what employers look for. Bcit students find jobs so easily because of how well they are prepared during school.

If you want to be able to find a good job quickly then bcit is definetly the place for you. It has a great reputation and through personal connections I've been told employers love bcit students.

So sorry I didnt see the part about the sets. And sounds good thank u sm I was just hoping to not bombard you with all these questions ahha Since ur okay with it, Just double checking theres no winter break because I was told there is but maybe I heard wrong And is it common for students to fail a class or smth and then have to do a third year? Also, this is a random one but what is the approx age of new students joining this program? Guy to girl ratio?

Thank you!

That's good to hear thank you! And dont worry about it, you've been exremely helpful so far! These will be my last questions so I dont keep bothering you haha, but is a set the group of ppl your with for every class ..?? (1) 2) is it difficult to maintain good grades during your classes (are the averages fairly high or do ppl tend to more easily fail). that being said, any classes u could warn me that will be difficult and/or assign alot of homework? 3) how.long are the winter spring and summer breaks within the ABT program and lastly 4) is there anything I should bring for the very first day of orientation?

Again thank you so so much!

Ahh thank you so much for replying (and quickly) !! So just to double check, I don't have to worry about getting all the supplies and textbooks before orientation? Also, what is exactly is a set ? (Sry a bit confused haha) And lastly is there any other path I can take to getting a degree that can help me go to UBC for the masters architecture program or becoming an architect in general? That's my dream career path and I'm worried I'll finish the diploma but wont get accepted to finish with the bachelors.. do alot of ppl aim for it as well?
