The Diploma in Engineering is a two-year program at Saint Mary's University that provides a foundation in engineering mathematics, design, technical communication, and an understanding of scientific principles. Students may specialize in areas including Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Industrial, Environmental, or Resource Engineering as they progress. Graduates of the diploma are guaranteed acceptance into Year 3 of Dalhousie University's Bachelor of Engineering program, or may continue directly into Year 3 of Saint Mary's own Bachelor of Engineering in Resource Engineering. Students can also add a Bachelor of Science to their credential with two additional semesters of coursework. Co-op work terms are available to engineering students at Saint Mary's as soon as first year is complete. Direct entry from high school requires Grade 12 academic English, Pre-Calculus or Calculus 12, Chemistry 12, an additional Grade 12 science course, and one further academic Grade 12 course, with a minimum overall average of 70% and no mark below 60%.
