Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BET) (Manufacturing)
This degree program combines theoretical principles with the hands-on experience and technical courses related to the manufacturing industry. Aspects unique to mechanical engineering, design, materials properties, machines/robotics, along with quality, cost and human factors in manufacturing operations are emphasized. The program is available in a three year format.
The extraordinary quality of this program was nationally recognized for innovation by the 2003 Yves Landry Award, as Canada’s Top Manufacturing Program.
Program Options
The BET Manufacturing degree is available through different pathways:
Advanced standing Post Diploma
Advanced standing Post Degree
Please see Program Details for more on the structure of this degree. Please see Admission Requirements for entry into this program.
Note: The Bachelor of Engineering Technology degrees do not lead directly to a Professional Engineering designation.
Admission Requirements – Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BET) (Manufacturing)
Admission Requirements
Currently, applications will be accepted into the Manufacturing stage only, with the successful completion of an acceptable Technology diploma.
PLEASE NOTE: THAT THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY DIPLOMA PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. INTERESTED STUDENTS SHOULD CONTACT THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Degree (Manufacturing) remains available to graduates of acceptable Technology Diploma Programs.
High School Graduates: Five Grade 12 advanced or academic courses including English and Mathematics and two sciences; (Physics is recommended) with an overall average of at least 65%.
Diploma/Degree Graduates: Appropriately accredited community college diploma at the technologist level or university science degree, where the programs are a reasonable match. CBU has agreements with many colleges which specifies the matching programs and, in some cases, matching courses that allow transfer credits. Contact the department for details.
Partially Completed Diploma/Degree: Admissions and course selection will be done on an individual basis in consultation with an academic advisor from the Engineering department.

ONE -year post-diploma format
For Diploma graduates of CBU, or of institutions that have an articulation agreement with CBU, completion of Year Three is required.
Transfer Credit:
CBU has an agreement with many colleges which results in transfer credit being given to specified Engineering Technology Diploma graduates such that as few as 30 credits from CBU would be required to complete the BET Degree program. Prospective students are encouraged to contact their college for information on the agreement with CBU or contact CBU directly. Where no agreement exists, individual consideration will be given to possible transfer credits. In any case, however, residency requirements must still be met.
Electives:
Selection of all electives must be done through prior consultation with a faculty advisor from the program
Graduation Requirement:
Residence requirements: Graduation with the degree (or diploma) normally requires that the student take a minimum of 50% of the program’s courses from CBU. CBU distance courses can be included to meet the residency requirements. Some joint programs, such as the articulation agreements cited in the Transfer Credit section, may allow special circumstances which differ from this minimum.
- Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology: Successful completion of terms one to four.
- Degree in Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Manufacturing): Successful completion of terms one to six.
- Term five elective recommended: MATH1109 & COMM1105
