Can anyone here shed some light on BCITs Engineering program?

I was thinking of applying to BCIT's Electrical Engineering program and I was curious what employers expect out of BCIT graduates in the Electrical Engineering Field and what they typically find with the grads (i.e salary, work-habbits and if they are prepared or not for the work field.)

A bachelors at BCIt takes four-five years, the first year is shared with this course: http://www.bcit.ca/study/programs/548adiplt

And then students after one year apply to this to get their bachelors in Electrical Engineering:

Also, I would appreciate if someone could comment on the courses as I don't really know what to look for. Financially speaking, I think BCIT is really my best option; plus there is a very dramatic increase in competition over in SFU and UBC which I don't want to get myself involved in. With that said, I would really like to confirm that this is the right choice for me because I can't afford (literally) to make a mistake in regards to my post-secondary education.

My PhysChem grades hover around 87% so I won't have trouble being accepted into BCIT, though I may have some trouble applying to SFU or UBC.

I don't mind if you muster a response that isn't relavent to BCIT. Thanks.

Jeremy,

I would personally stay clear of attending a vocational technical institute and instead focus on getting a full degree at an accredited University.

Most employers who are in the US are looking for traditional college graduates when it comes to electrical engineering degrees. Also, if you decide to pursue a masters or PHD, you are better of getting your BS degree from a University.

Good luck.

Alright, thanks.
