Engineering program expands transfer schools<\/p>\n

An agreement with BC Common First Year Engineering Curriculum will soon allow Camosun Engineering Transfer students the option of transferring to six different universities. Once an agreement is finalized, students who finish the program will be able to finish their degree at Simon Fraser University, Thompson River University, University of British Columbia (Vancouver and Okanagan locations), and the University of Northern British Columbia. Currently, the college only offers students of the Engineering Transfer program the opportunity to finish their degrees at the University of Victoria for a Bachelor of Engineering or a Bachelor of Software Engineering. Camosun\u2019s agreement will be finalized for students entering the Engineering Transfer program in September 2025.<\/p>\n

Camosun gets electric van<\/p>\n

An electric vehicle has been introduced to the trades program, providing hands-on training to its students. The 2025 BrightDrop Zevo 400 AWD van is part of the college\u2019s intention to prepare students for a rapidly growing EV sector. Students studying across multiple trades\u2014including carpentry, pipe trades, welding, and sheet metal\u2014will have an opportunity to train with the vehicle. The e-van will also serve as a mobile trades education to deliver training outside Camosun.<\/p>\n

EBSCO library databases see new interface<\/p>\n

The Camosun library has announced that their EBSCO databases have been updated with a redesign, resembling the library\u2019s Single Search interface. EBSCO, a provider of the library\u2019s various databases, now includes personalized dashboards, further accessibility, other ways to share resources, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
