Program Overview

Introduction to the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering Technology Program

The Bachelor of Environmental Engineering Technology (BEVT) program is a two-year post-diploma bachelor's degree that focuses on the practical aspects of implementing and managing environmental systems and technologies. This program aims to equip students with the skills necessary to develop clean energy sources, reduce our environmental footprint, and protect our future.

Program Overview

The BEVT program covers a range of topics, including:

• Life-cycle analysis
• Environmental impact assessment
• Design of industrial wastewater treatment processes
• Waste containment systems Students will learn hands-on application of technologies and processes for environmental protection, preparing them to address current and future challenges in the environmental engineering technology sector.

Program Structure and Flexibility

The BEVT program can be completed part-time, making it a flexible and practical option for learners who wish to achieve a university degree while working in a relevant field. The modular nature of the program appeals to non-traditional learners in engineering technology, providing a clear path into engineering technology management.

Career Prospects and Industry Demands

The Saint John region, with its well-established oil and gas facilities, transport companies, large hospital, and mix of heavy and light industry, offers prospective employment pipelines for graduates. The BEVT program was developed in direct response to industry demands, ensuring that graduates are equipped to address current and future challenges in the environmental engineering technology sector.

Degree Recognition and Future Studies

The BEVT program does not lead to professional engineer (PEng) licensure. However, the program and course learning objectives have been carefully designed to align with Engineers Canada competencies. Graduates will be positioned for future competency-based licensure on a case-by-case basis and will also meet the eligibility requirements to enter a master of engineering program.
