Gain practical engineering skills and knowledge to optimize industrial processes and systems.
The Bachelor of Industrial Engineering Technology (BIDT) program at the University of New Brunswick Saint John campus is a new, two-year post-diploma bachelor’s degree program that will open doors to graduates in a wide variety of industrial or public sectors.
The BIDT program focuses on the study of equipment, information, human behaviour and modes of communication to develop processes that work, with an emphasis on applying existing technologies to real-world problems.
UNB’s Saint John campus is located near well-established oil and gas facilities, transport companies, a large hospital, public utilities and a mix of heavy and light industries, offering valuable opportunities for students for experiential learning.
Develop practical skills through laboratory work, field studies, and real-life work experience. The capstone project will provide the opportunity to apply hands-on skills, fostering experimental, design, and analytical capabilities.
The program has been carefully designed for a college diploma holder to be successful in entering third- and fourth-year university courses.
BIDT was developed in direct response to industry demands. Graduates will be qualified for positions in quality control, safety, manufacturing, production, cost, process and system engineering technologies careers in a wide variety of industrial sectors or in the public sector. Some roles include:

This program is open to applicants who have successfully completed a minimum of a two-year manufacturing engineering technology diploma program or equivalent from an accredited college with an average of 70%.
You may also be eligible for BIDT if you have completed one of the following diploma programs or similar from an accredited college:
The BIDT and BEVT programs do 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.
