Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Design Engineering

UPEI’s Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Design Engineering program focuses on engineering design as an engineering discipline in itself. Sustainable design engineers are problem solvers. They use design skills, engineering knowledge, math and science to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions to modern-day problems. A sustainable solution is one in which all factors and stakeholders are considered. It goes beyond just providing an efficient, attractive, on-time, and on-budget solution. It also cares about how such goals are achieved and about its impact on people, the environment and society. Our program provides students with a solid technical foundation which supports the development of their design skills. Just as important, though, the program also provides the professional skills necessary to succeed as a professional engineer. To achieve this, we have created a unique and innovative design clinic model that is integrated throughout all years of the program. In the design clinics, students are immersed in hands-on, experiential learning while working on real projects for a wide range of external partners from the community, municipalities, government, industry and others.

Successful completion of Grade 12 examinations in a University Preparatory Program with an overall average of at least 70% or equivalent to high school.

Transcripts will be reviewed for possible course transfer credit. Deadline: Documentation for all applicants should be complete by 1 August, if applying to the Fall semester, or by 1 December, if applying to the Winter semester.
