Future Students
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering!
Our Campus
Dalhousie’s Faculty of Engineering is built on a solid 112-year foundation of excellence in research and student success.
Our programs are designed to go beyond traditional classroom learning to provide you with the opportunities you need to gain hands-on engineering design experience.
We offer a range of degrees with opportunities for research collaborations with our top faculty members. The Faculty of Engineering is one of the most innovative units at Dalhousie University and in Atlantic Canada.
Our newly renovated campus is located in the heart of Halifax’s innovation district and established to dramatically enhance Dalhousie’s capacity for research and development, and provide students, researchers and industry opportunities to collaborate and commercialize technologies in key sectors.
Our labs, workshops and spaces have been modernized and expanded to better support student design project, competition team, student research and entrepreneurial ideas.
