Engineering

An engineering degree gives you a strong foundation to build an exciting and multifaceted career. If you like solving problems or enjoy learning how and why things work, our engineering program is the place for you.

Why study engineering?

Our graduates forge successful careers in all areas of engineering, both with large corporations and as entrepreneurs starting their own businesses. In addition, an engineering degree can provide an excellent base for further study in law or medicine.

Professional engineers bring the world to life. They apply science and mathematics to the design, construction and operation of a wide variety of items and processes that are essential in our modern world. The seamless functionality of PDAs, the smooth flow of highway traffic and the reliability of our thermostats are all courtesy of engineers.

A strong foundation

Engineering students get off to a great start in Saint John, enjoying the benefit of small classes for up to two years of their program before transferring to our Fredericton campus to complete their degree.

The University of New Brunswick Saint John offers first year students an overview of engineering knowledge and skills, including engineering, science, mathematics, computer science and design synthesis. You’ll round out your studies with courses in the humanities and social sciences.

Many of the different majors share common courses. This means that students can change disciplines in their first year of studies and still gain credit for most of the courses that they have taken.
