Bachelor of Engineering - Sustainable Design Engineering

Program description

If you’re passionate about protecting our planet and want to be at the forefront of sustainable civil innovation, the Sustainable Design Engineering Degree (SDE) program is your launchpad. is four-year bachelor's degree reimagines Civil Engineering through the lens of sustainability, blending philosophy, science, and engineering design.

Your first year of this degree is comprised of a common first year, offered across all of Conestoga’s Engineering degrees. In this first year, you will be exposed to specializations across the broad field of Engineering. The program provides you with a solid foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering theory, and gradually builds practical and engineering design skills to solve electrical engineering problems.

The concepts of sustainability are woven throughout this Civil engineering program and reinforced with project-based learning and paid co-operative education. You will learn in state-of-the-art facilities at Conestoga College's Cambridge campus, where through project-based learning, individual and group work, and with the latest software and equipment, you will be provided with the skills required to be successful in this emerging field of practice.

SDE degree focuses at the systems level on the integration of environmental, economic and societal impacts with fundamental engineering concepts during the planning and design stages, and will allow you to see your ideas through to the project implementation and operations stages. The Sustainable Design Engineering program is designed to meet all requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) and is expected to receive CEAB accreditation upon graduating the first cohort.
