Seneca students have a new academic pathway to Queen’s University engineering degree | MyNews | Seneca Students

Students in Seneca’s Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program now have a direct pathway to engineering degrees from Queen’s University.

A new agreement between the two institutions allows for three-year advanced diploma students and graduates from Seneca to transition into Queen’s degree programs in Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering.

“We are thrilled to offer this new pathway to help our students build on their Seneca credential with an engineering degree from Queen’s,” said Ranjan Bhattacharya, Dean, Seneca Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Technology. “Through this partnership, students obtain two credentials and can take a comprehensive alternate path to meeting the fundamental requirements to qualify as a professional engineer in Ontario.”

Students who pursue this pathway will start additional studies online during their final year at Seneca, followed by summer courses that will prepare them to enter engineering courses at Queen’s.

“We’re happy to be able to increase the opportunity for Ontario's technology students to complement their diplomas with an accredited engineering degree from Queen’s University,” said Brian Frank, the Dupont Chair in Engineering Education Research and Development at Queen’s.
