    • Description of Project and Results Achieved:
    The Centre for International Maritime Education and Training (CIMET) is a collaborative partnership between three institutions in Canada and three institutions in Europe. The program offered through this initiative provides students in the corresponding institutions the opportunity to study abroad in the areas of Nautical Science and Marine Engineering.

    Nature of Services (planning, management, technical assistance, training, procurement, etc.):
    This program demonstrates the benefits that students can gain from studying abroad and how these individual gains can be worked into a procedure for the mutual recognition of accredited degrees in maritime studies in both Canada and the EU. Students will have an opportunity to gain international experience and learn from experts in the fields of Marine Engineering and Nautical Science through various courses and work terms.

    Students accepted into this program will have the opportunity to experience a different culture, obtain a richer knowledge of a country's history, and acquire world-class education in the fields of Nautical Science or Marine Engineering. The institutions will provide educational opportunities to exchange students that they (students) would not normally have access to at their home institutions.

    For faculty it is an opportunity to explore and develop different methods of instructions and to learn about the technologies being used at other institutions.
