UPEI's Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Design Engineering program emphasizes engineering design as a distinct discipline. Sustainable design engineers serve as creative problem solvers, applying design expertise, engineering principles, mathematics, and scientific knowledge to develop eco-conscious solutions for contemporary challenges. A truly sustainable approach examines all influencing factors and stakeholders, extending beyond mere efficiency, aesthetics, deadlines, and budgets to consider implementation methods and broader societal, environmental, and human impacts.
The program equips students with both robust technical knowledge to enhance their design capabilities and essential professional competencies for engineering careers. This dual focus is realized through an innovative design clinic framework embedded across all program years. Within these clinics, students engage in practical, project-based learning by collaborating with diverse external partners including community organizations, municipal entities, government agencies, and industrial firms.
