7. Multidisciplinary Education and Research
U of T Engineering has a long tradition of collaborative scholarship that
enhances the student experience and promotes research excellence. The
breadth and depth of our programs, centres, and institutes provides an
extraordinary range of opportunities for multidisciplinary research and
teaching.
The Faculty has introduced a number of Faculty-wide initiatives in the past few years. In 2009–2010, we initiated two new cross-disciplinary undergraduate Minors to complement the new Energy Systems Engineering Major in the Engineering Science program that was launched in fall 2008. Graduate students actively contribute to the Faculty’s multidisciplinary research and can specialize in one of two graduate certificates to further enrich their educational experience.
Collaborative and multidisciplinary educational and research programs are becoming a fundamental part of the Engineering Faculty, and the Faculty continues to expand its offerings. In 2008–2009, we created two new initiatives: the Centre for Global Engineering; and the Identity, Privacy and Security Institute.
