The EDC is the first and only resource building on campus specifically intended to connect students from all of UBC’s engineering programs in order to promote interdisciplinary team work, which is increasingly the norm in industry.
The EDC is a tremendous addition to the engineering precinct, and greatly enhances engineering education at UBC.
UBC Engineering’s undergraduate and graduate students are able to collaboratively plan, design, assemble, and exhibit their projects –from biomedical devices to ultra-lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles.
