WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3rd: BCIT CIVIL ENGINEERING PRESENTATION
What is Civil Engineering? What are the career opportunities?
BCIT Civil Engineering Faculty and Civil Engineer, Phyllis Chong, MASc, PEng, will do a short presentation about the program and share possible career paths for civil engineers and technologists, followed by an open Q&A.
The highly regarded, full-time BCIT Civil Engineering degree program provides a path that allows students to earn dual credentials. All students who successfully complete the first two years of the program receive a Diploma in Civil Engineering, while students who meet the continuation requirements and successfully complete the entire four-year program also earn a nationally-accredited Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering. These credentials prepare graduates for professional practice in this popular and diverse field as either civil technologists or as civil engineers, and also provide a path to further studies.
We are accepting applications for the September 2021 intake until April 15, 2021.
Join us at the BCIT Civil Engineering Online Info Session for High School Students on
Wednesday, March 3, 2021 from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
If you have questions related to registration for this session, contact Maggie Lau. For more information about the Civil Engineering program and program contacts, visit the BCIT Civil Engineering web page.

UBC ENGINEERING PHYSICS PROGRAM INFO SESSION: Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021
On behalf of the UBC Engineering Physics Program, you and your parents are invited to attend an online information session on the evening of Tuesday, February 23rd, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Engineering Physics is a broad engineering degree with extra emphasis on physics and math.
In addition to core engineering skills (mechanical, electrical, software), engineering physicists are equipped with a deep understanding of fundamental science and analytical methods to tackle challenges at the forefront of any field, from biotechnology and medicine to quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and aerospace.
We believe our program, one of the most rigorous and challenging at the undergraduate level, will be of interest to your strongest math and science students, especially those who want to pursue careers in research, invention, and entrepreneurship.
We kindly ask that anyone who is interested please register for the event at the link directly below.
We will email registrants with a Zoom link on the morning of the event (Feb 23rd).
Space is limited, though we will post a recording of the session on the event website after the event.

PENNYDROPS: An SFU Club for Financial Literacy
Initially starting as a pilot project at McGill University, PennyDrops partnered with the Bank of Montreal to deliver the program to 88 high school students in its first semester.
Today, PennyDrops is a mature, coast-to-coast organisation, with 19 chapters (the newest one being SFU) spanning from Vancouver to Halifax.
We are also currently deepening partnerships with organisations such as Pathways to Education and I Love First Peoples, to make this program more accessible to underserved regions and marginalised demographics.
PennyDrops recently launched a program, PennyDrops Anywhere, which is what I wanted to tell you about today.
It is an online platform where high school students can participate in lessons such as Mindful Spending, Banking 101, Savings, Credit, and my current favourite one fitting for February, Taxes.
On the site there are interactive activities for students to apply their new concepts and skills, as well as offer student progress reports for teachers.
Financial Literacy is education I hold closely to my heart, as this is so essential when it comes to things like saving up for post-secondary or being able to make informed financial decisions during, or after high school.
A lot of my post-secondary planning was actually a combination of advice and observations from so many of the staff, so I really thought of Moscrop as a place where PennyDrops Anywhere would benefit many students.
Acknowledging that Moscrop is a bilingual school, we also offer this program in French as PennyDrops is Quebec-based 🙂
