BCIT Anyone?

[bcrdukes]

Stupid question, but what exactly is the "ehPod?"

[mb_]

BCIT : : Library : : Students :: Computer Facilities

[!Yaminashi]

An overpacked 24/7 study/work area for students

[bcrdukes]

aka avoid like the plague?

[TOS'd]

maybe during exam season it would be a good idea to avoid.

bcrdukes, when you getting to school monday or tues?

[bcrdukes]

I'm not entirely sure, but my classes start at 6:30pm on both days.

[!Yaminashi]

I usually try to avoid it unless I absolutely need to get something done and there aren't any open labs in my building

What program is the upstairs of NE1? Seems like only they and my program have our own dedicated spaces. Where as the ABET and maybe the degree program dont. Unless that area is the degree program and its just ABET that doesnt get their own room. The room in question is the one across from the red desk thing on the 3rd floor, where all the desk are decorated with personal belongings.

That's the Architectural Sciences bachelors program. I think they're the only ones that have 24/7 access to their lab since their workload is that intense. (Or so I've heard)

ABET doesn't really have their own lab space. We have to share with the interior design students..

Hmm, wonder if they have that room for the 4 years straight.

Still gotta talk to advisors about education next year.

As far as I know, when you apply for ABET you can apply straight for the architectural sciences degree program.

I know some of my classmates aren't actually enrolled in "ABET" but Arch Sci.
So depending on their GPA and portfolio after the first 2 years, they'll be granted a seat in that program. But from what I hear alot of people dont want to stay at BCIT after ABET

[bcrdukes]

Drop out and work at McDonalds.

Probably because two years of that stress is enough to endure. lol

I'm hoping the skills here will make me a better candidate for an entry level position at McDonalds. Just like you and I discussed in the past, right friend?

[bcrdukes]

STFU TOS'd

[bcrdukes]

Hey if you're on campus tomorrow, we should meet up at McDonald's. Your avatar has inspired me to get a hamburger happy meal.

Anyone have any clue how BCIT graduation works

[JKam]

For BBA, I have to apply and fill out a form for it in my last semester and get my transfer credits approved and thats it.

Ask your program head and they should send all the necessary links/forms to you.


Here's what was sent to me:

You may find information about convocation at the following link: http://www.bcit.ca/convocation/info/

In order to process your request for the graduation ceremony and your BBA degree, please fill out the Application for BCIT Credential form, which you can find at the following link: http://www.bcit.ca/files/records/pdf...credential.pdf This can be submitted during your final term of study.

You can apply into ArchSci when you apply for first year at BCIT, unless you have a high GPA or are among the better candidates most people will get an email back saying that the program is full and they should apply into ABET.

A select few will get into pre-qualified into ArchSci, but you take the first two years with the ABET students, then after those two years everyone who is interested in archsci has to submit a portfolio, and based on that and your marks they will choose 20-30 students to continue onto archsci. The people who were pre-qualified are preferred but many times other people get in because those people choose to cut their losses or decide to go another route.

You only gain access to the two rooms by the red-circle thing in third and fourth year. The eastern most room is for third year and the western most room is for 4th year.

As for some of the other questions, the third floor is primarily dominated by ABET, interior design and Arch Sci throughout the day. The open computer labs are used primarily by ABET as the interior design uses the Mac labs that are locked and ArchSci uses their own computers in the studio.

4th floor of the building is where construction management use to primarily be, however interior design is slowly taking over that space and the construction management classes are being scattered all over the building now.

I think that answers a lot of the questions.

EDIT: for the record, ArchSci is the ABET continuation. AKA ArchSci is equivalent to what you guys are calling "ABET degree program".

Do recognize that ABET has three streams however, not just architecture, there is 1. Economics, 2. Building science and 3. Architecture.

So The program also makes a great segway into the new building science masters program, as well as the construction management degree program.
