Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design Partners with BCIT-New Wood Diploma Program Developed Focusing on Manufacture and Design

Emily Carr Institute and the BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) will soon be co-offering a full-time diploma program in the design and manufacture of value-added wood products. The combined resources of the two post-secondary institutions will ensure a new program that produces graduates who are creative, innovative, and highly skilled in the design, manufacture, and management of wood products and their associated manufacturing facilities.

This unique program will integrate the essential skills of design, manufacturing techniques and processes, with business and manufacturing management. The holistic, hands-on approach throughout the program allows students to gain an understanding of critical design skills to address client needs and current and new technical processes.

Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to combine function with form in innovative and high-quality, wood-based products. Industry areas of special interest include high-quality furniture and interior design products for a broad range of clients from residential, commercial and industrial.
