Explorations in Engineering (Grades 10/11/12)

Step into the world of engineering, your future starts here.

Explorations in Engineering is your week‑long, sneak peek into what it’s really like to study Engineering at UBC Okanagan. Tour labs, operate equipment, and connect directly with the professors and researchers shaping tomorrow’s technologies. You’ll hear from undergraduate students about their exciting work, take part in hands‑on design challenges, and experience campus life from the inside out. By the end of the week, you’ll have a clearer picture of the question: “What does it actually mean to study Engineering at UBCO?”

Join this program if you are considering post‑secondary Engineering pathways or anyone fascinated by how innovation, design, and problem‑solving help shape our world. Come explore, ask big questions, and discover where engineering could take you next.
