History
A considerable facet of the Faculty of Applied Science at The University of British Columbia, the School of Engineering (SOE) is based on 100 years of engineering teaching and research excellence on the Vancouver campus. Students
Since its start in 2005 at the Okanagan campus, the SOE has seen momentous growth in research and teaching infrastructure, as well as in its student body with abo
ut 700 undergraduates and 160 graduate students. In 2012, 107 BASc degrees were conferred here—almost 50 per cent more than in 2010. Facilities
The SOE moved into the new Engineering, Management & Education (EME) Building in 2011. With more than 14,500 square metres of space for research, labs, and classrooms, this $68-million complex houses the latest in laboratory equipment to enhance student and faculty work.
