Canadian University Dubai launches Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Engineering ManagementNew undergraduate program to develop future leaders in smart manufacturing and global logistics

April 28,2026 : Dubai, UAE: Canadian University Dubai (CUD) has announced the launch of a Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Engineering Management (BScIEM), a new undergraduate program designed to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the region’s fast-growing innovation-driven economy. The program will offer students two concentration pathways, with the opportunity to specialize in either Smart Manufacturing and Industry Systems, or Logistics and Supply Chain Engineering.

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Engineering Management offers a foundation in mathematics, physics, computing, and core engineering sciences

Established within CUD’s School of Engineering, Applied Science and Technology (SEAST), the BScIEM program has been developed in alignment with the UAE’s strategic priorities in smart industry, digital transformation, global logistics, and sustainable operational systems. The program will equip students with the knowledge and technical expertise required to design, analyze, and optimize complex systems across manufacturing, logistics, and service sectors using data-driven and technology-enabled approaches.

The program is now open for applications for entry in Fall 2026 at the Canadian University Dubai campus

Sustainability-driven projects inspired by native Ghaf Woods

August 4th , 2025 : Dubai, UAE: Architecture students from Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have unveiled a series of innovative, sustainability-focused design projects developed in response to the unique environmental and climatic conditions of Dubai. Set within Ghaf Woods, a forest-integrated community that is redefining urban living in the city, each project features a low-rise, multi-use recreation centre that embodies ecological harmony and climate-responsive innovation. The standout designs included a canopy rooted in biomimicry and sustainability, a recharge facility that converts environmental extremes into performance assets, and a pavilion that is embedded harmoniously into the natural landscape.

Anchored in the university’s core pillars of sustainability and innovation, the CUD architecture students were placed in the heart of the living laboratory of Ghaf Woods to nurture their creative mindset and to promote sustainability literacy. Under the mentorship of faculty lead Christine Yogiaman, the designers explored adaptive architecture focused on passive strategies, such as shading, natural ventilation, and thermal mass, to minimise energy consumption in Dubai’s hot climate. The students combined creative exploration with practical environmental strategies, producing designs that not only minimise ecological impact but also enhance the user experience through harmony with the natural world.

Supporting the transition towards sustainable innovation and growth in the region, CUD has  launched an MSc in Design Innovation for Circular Economy, focusing on restorative and regenerative design
