Bachelor of Environmental Engineering Technology (BEVT)

Gain the skills to develop clean energy sources, reduce our environmental footprint and protect our future

The BEVT program is a two-year post-diploma bachelor’s degree focused on the practical aspects of implementing and managing environmental systems and technologies.

Students will learn hands-on application of technologies and processes for environmental protection.

The program covers a range of topics—from life-cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment to the design of industrial wastewater treatment processes and waste containment systems.

BEVT graduates will be able to help develop clean energy sources, reduce our environmental footprint and protect our ecosystem, resources and public health.

Flexible, practical options

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. This flexibility and the modular nature of the program will appeal to non-traditional learners in engineering technology.

Real world-learning, hands-on experience

The BEVT program focuses on practical engineering technology and engineering management, providing graduates with a clear path into engineering technology management.

Prospective employment pipelines

The Saint John region has well-established oil and gas facilities, transport companies, a large hospital and a mix of heavy and light industry and large and small plants. This, combined with the education model for these programs, aims to create a future talent pipeline for both local and global businesses.

Forward-thinking, with future industry demands in mind

The BEVT program was developed in direct response to industry demands. Graduates will be equipped to address current and future challenges in the environmental engineering technology and industrial engineering technology sectors.

Recognized, standalone degrees or a laddered approach to graduate studies

The BEVT program does not lead to professional engineer (PEng) licensure, though the programs 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.

Applications for the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering Technology are open now for the Fall 2026 term.
