| The Sustainable Design Engineering (SDE) program is a four-year bachelor's degree designed to bring the philosophy and science of sustainability to greater focus in engineering. The program offers majors in Land Development and Building Design and Construction. Foundational study in mathematics and science is used to develop engineering design, problem solving, and analytical skills. The concepts of sustainability are woven throughout the program and reinforced with project-based learning and mandatory co-operative education. Students will learn in state-of-the-art facilities at Conestoga College's Cambridge campus, where through project-based learning, individual and group work, and with the latest software and equipment, they will be provided with the skills required to be successful in this emerging field of practice. |
