Inclusive Pathways for Engineering Careers
Dalhousie Engineering鈥檚 Inclusive Pathways to Engineering Careers Program (Pathways Program) is a transformative initiative designed to create new learning opportunities for all equity-deserving groups.
Under this umbrella we introduced the Indigenous stream of the Pathways program which launched in September of 2024. In February of 2025, we will launch聽the second stream of our Pathways Program鈥攆ocused on empowering African Nova Scotian and Black youth with opportunities in engineering.
As a leader in engineering education in Atlantic Canada, 杏吧导航 recognizes the importance of fostering diversity and inclusion in the field of engineering.

Indigenous Pathways Program
In collaboration with聽, Dalhousie Engineering is proud to offer the Indigenous Pathways Program, designed to support Indigenous youth in pursuing careers in engineering.
We believe in creating a community where Indigenous knowledge, culture, and innovation are celebrated. The Program offers individualized and flexible admission for students wishing to pursue studies in engineering.
African Nova Scotian/Black Pathways Program
This program aims to foster a more diverse engineering workforce that reflects and innovates for the communities it serves.聽We will be welcoming the first cohort of African Nova Scotian and Black students in September 2025.
Elisabet Astatkie, a fifth-year student who is studying Industrial Engineering captured the purpose and essence of launching this program - 鈥淭hroughout my engineering degree at Dalhousie, I have often been placed in rooms with few people that look like me. Making conscious efforts to increase the number of Black students enrolled in the program will help to increase the proportion of Black engineering professionals and diversify the workforce. I鈥檓 grateful for the Faculty of Engineering and their conscious efforts to adopt this pathways program.鈥�
