Program Overview

Introduction to the Labrador Campus Programs

The Labrador Campus of Memorial University offers a range of programs designed to provide students with a unique learning environment and course content. One of the key programs offered is the Engineering One in Labrador program, which is a collaborative effort between the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Arctic and Subarctic Studies.

Engineering One in Labrador Program

The Engineering One in Labrador program provides pathways for students to complete the Engineering One program entirely in Labrador. This program is designed to increase the accessibility of the Engineering program for learners in Labrador and to encourage Engineering as a career path for Labrador students. Students who complete the Engineering One in Labrador program will also receive a Certificate in Northern Technological Stewardship, which reflects their unique learning environment and course content.

Program Structure

The Engineering One program is a common core part of all Bachelor of Engineering majors at Memorial University. It builds on material from high school and provides a foundation for further engineering studies. The program offers flexible pathways through the requirements of Engineering One, allowing learners with differing high school course backgrounds and preparations to move through the program in one year or two years. Courses will be a combination of in-person classes and intensive field schools, as well as distance and/or hybrid courses, with labs being offered in person by the laboratory instructor.

Admission Requirements

Students interested in pursuing Engineering One in Labrador must meet the admission requirements outlined by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. This includes having strong marks in advanced mathematics, the appropriate mark in the Math Placement Test, strong marks in science (particularly physics and chemistry), and an overall good academic record. The Engineering Admissions Committee reviews applications and looks for students who demonstrate a strong potential for success in the program.

Program Guidance and Support

Engineering One students in Labrador have access to a range of support services, including academic advisors, the Student Recruitment, Retention, and Relationships Officer, and the Laboratory Instructor. These resources are available to assist students with course planning, declaring their program of study, prerequisite and registration issues, and questions about the eligibility of any courses not listed. Additional support services include the Engineering One Student Success Centre, which provides additional instruction, tutorials, and one-on-one tutoring on course material.
