Usask Engineering Partnership Upda

 

St. Peter's College and the University of Saskatchewan's College of Engineering are continuing to grow their partnership. Information about the University of Saskatchewan's renewed engineering program, as well as the partnership with St. Peter's College follows:

What is 'Re-Engineered'?

USASK has rebuilt their first year so that students can gain the skills & knowledge they need for their degree and career as a licensed professional engineer. The changes include:

A re-designed timetable to support learning and school/life balance.

Classes becoming broader and more relevant to real-world engineering.

NO final exams - you'll be graded on your competency and skills, not how well you can memorize large amounts of material.

Another change is that the admission average required is a 75% average - raised from the previous average of 70%. The one exception to this will students interested in studying at St. Peter's College, who can still be admitted so long as they meet the 70% average.

What does the partnership between St. Peter's College and Usask mean?

St. Peter's College and the College of Engineering's partnership means that students can still continue to select St. Peter's College as their campus for first-year engineering, taking advantage of benefits from both institutions as they always have.

It also means that students who fall below the new admission average of 75% can still begin their first year of USASK engineering exclusively at St. Peter's College, so long as they have met the original 70% admission average.

The College has a long history of supporting first-year students, and especially engineers, who benefit and excel from the 
small class sizes, additional scholarships, and supportive environment they develop with their fellow students and professors. It's no wonder why, in the last four years, 50% of continuing Engineering students at St. Peter's College have made the Dean's List at the University of Saskatchewan.

Do you want more information?
