Program overview
The first two years of an industrial engineering degree, covering mathematics, physics, engineering economics, systems analysis, operations fundamentals and engineering design.
The industrial engineering transfer route delivers the first half of an engineering degree that is completed elsewhere. Years one and two run at Cape Breton University, years three and four at the partner university in Halifax, and the engineering degree in industrial engineering is awarded there. Because the credential finishes at another institution, the industrial engineering diploma on its own does not carry post study work standing, and Apply Study Visa maps the full multi institution plan, including the second study permit stage, before any deposit is paid.
University Diploma in Industrial Engineering, Engineering Transfer Route sits outside the degree category, so post study work eligibility must be verified rather than assumed. Undergraduate study such as University Diploma in Industrial Engineering, Engineering Transfer Route does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility under the rules now in force, which married applicants should factor in from the start.
