Engineering program expands transfer schools
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’s agreement will be finalized for students entering the Engineering Transfer program in September 2025.
Camosun gets electric van
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’s intention to prepare students for a rapidly growing EV sector. Students studying across multiple trades—including carpentry, pipe trades, welding, and sheet metal—will have an opportunity to train with the vehicle. The e-van will also serve as a mobile trades education to deliver training outside Camosun.
EBSCO library databases see new interface
The Camosun library has announced that their EBSCO databases have been updated with a redesign, resembling the library’s Single Search interface. EBSCO, a provider of the library’s various databases, now includes personalized dashboards, further accessibility, other ways to share resources, and more.
