UNB Saint John offers a two-year Diploma in Engineering Foundations in Chemical, Civil, Electrical,  Mechanical or Software Engineering. The Diploma in Engineering Foundations provides students with a basic understanding of scientific principles, and a foundation in engineering mathematics, design, and technical communication. Students are enrolled either in the Diploma in Engineering Foundations program or in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program at UNB Saint John, and take a common core curriculum in their first term. In the second term of their first year, they take a combination of common core courses and required discipline-specific courses in their chosen area. In their second year, students take a combination of required courses in their chosen discipline and designated complementary studies electives, basic science electives, and technical electives.  

Upon the successful completion of this two-year program of study, students are awarded the diploma, and can either move to UNB Fredericton or stay at UNB Saint John to complete the BSc degree.
