Yes! Engineers Canada, the national engineering licensing body, under the direction of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), oversees the degree program accreditation process.

U of R validates engineering degree program quality through accreditation. This ensures graduates of our engineering degree programs meet professional requirements to become licensed engineers.

As a graduate from an accredited program, you meet eligibility requirements for registration with a provincial/territorial licensing body as an engineer-in-training. Thanks to accreditation, you will not need to take several otherwise-required certification exams. You will need to pass the Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) professional practice exam.

As an engineering student at the University of Regina, you gain access to several engineering-specific awards, scholarships, and bursaries! Each one specifies the qualifications needed to apply. Several of the scholarships, however, require no application at all.

Only U of R engineering students can apply for the following scholarships:

• Associated Engineering Award
• Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of Sask (APEGS) Engineering Prizes
• Brownlee Beaton Kreke Scholarship in Engineering
• Carl Potzus Award in Engineering
• Derril McLeod Environmental Systems Scholarship in Engineering and Applied Science
• Jack Mollard Sensing the Earth Scholarship
• Engineering Leadership Award
• EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada Scholarship in Engineering and Applied Science
• Friends of the University of Regina - Engineering and Applied Science Award
• Harald Liebe Undergraduate Scholarship in Petroleum Engineering
• Helen Mary Morris Award for Women in Engineering
• Honourable E.W. (Staff) Barootes, MD, Scholarship
• JD Mollard and Associates Limited Prize
• John M. Forbes Bursary
• Margaret Anne Hodges Book Prize
• Mary Denise Dopko Jackson Scholarship
• Michelle Dolman Memorial Scholarship
• Paul F. Groome Scholarship
• Regina Engineering Society Scholarship
• Regina Geotechnical Group Scholarship
• Reid Crowther Scholarship in Engineering
• Ritenburg Family Foundation Bursary in Engineering
• Robert J. and Joyann M. Genereux Scholarship
• Saskatchewan Mining Association Environmental Systems Engineering Scholarship
• Stantec Scholarship in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science
• Viterra Scholarship in Engineering and Applied Science
• Wil Mechanical Scholarship
• Women in Environmental Systems Engineering Bursary

Yes! International study helps you compete for engineering jobs as employers increasingly value global perspectives and experience. Speaking an additional language, or two, and bringing cultural sensitivity to the job makes you more competitive — especially at the start of your engineering career. U of R’s Study Abroad & Global Mobility program gives you options that last a week or a whole year.

In addition to paying application fees and any other required costs, you must meet with an academic advisor about study abroad options and meet or exceed these eligibility requirements:

• 70 per cent Grade Point Average (GPA)
• 30 credit hours completed
• Full-time student

Choose from several engineering clubs and build strong bonds and networks with other students. Don’t miss the activities hosted by the Regina Engineering Student Society (RESS) such as Welcome Week events and their infamous Beef n Pizza. RESS also features a student lounge open to all engineering students — for networking, studying or hanging out.
