The role of an Industrial Engineering Technologist is to determine the most effective way to produce a product or provide a service, and ultimately, help organizations exercise better control of production, service, quality, costs, and deployment of resources. To do this, Industrial Engineering Technologists need to understand and examine factors such as production, people, machines, materials, information, and energy requirements.
In this program, you learn and apply engineering principles and practices to analyze and solve complex technical problems, test and analyze materials and structural elements and research and prepare graphical and other technical documents. You also learn to interpret the National Building Code and other Codes, Standards and Regulations appropriate to the practice of civil engineering.
Throughout the program you develop skills and knowledge for groundwater exploration and evaluation, supervision of water well drilling programs, water resources management, water chemistry, remedial operations in response to ground and surface water contamination, sampling and data collection and analysis, water well and well field design, facilities maintenance and engineering inspection, civil engineering, and water and waste water testing and treatment.

In order to conduct oil and natural gas exploration in Prince Edward Island, a permit is required which clearly defines the area of exploration. All permits are issued on a competitive bid basis. The bidding process, fees, and forms are listed here.
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has standing expertise in the main disciplines of engineering (mechanical, civil, naval architecture, and electrical and computer engineering) as well as three chemical engineering faculty members with expertise in oil/gas processing, environmental operations, health and safety, and risk assessment. In addition, three Canada Research Chairs have been appointed in the areas of Reservoir Engineering; Reliability Engineering and Offshore Environmental Management; and Asset Integrity Management.
The Pembina Institute has worked with over 50 Aboriginal communities on energy planning. Aboriginal Energy Alternatives provides insights into lessons learned through this experience, and outlines the basics of community energy planning, options for generating energy locally, and ways to reduce energy consumption in communities.
To help ensure Nova Scotia and Canada benefit from a sustainable marine renewable energy industry over the longer term, this study identifies the suite of applicable funding and financial support mechanisms used in different jurisdictions around the world, recommends a combination that may be suitable for the Nova Scotia context and presents the local entities that could administer such funding and financial supports for local tidal energy development.
