A Message from Acting Dean Yu-Ling Cheng
National Engineering Month (NEM) is an opportunity to celebrate and demonstrate the excellent work we do as a Faculty, and to be proud of how we, as researchers and educators, are designing the future.
As researchers, our innovations can make a positive and lasting impact – improving people's quality of life, sustaining the planet and advancing technology.
As educators, we continue our commitment to providing our students with the highest level of engineering education, enabling them to shape our world as graduates. This month saw several initiatives approved and launched to support our students, including the Faculty Council approval of a Mineral Resources certificate and a flexible PhD option in MIE, as well as the launch of The Entrepreneurship Hatchery.
Although NEM is now drawing to a close, we continue to have much to celebrate. I would like to congratulate our new and renewed Canada Research Chairs on their prestigious achievement. As well, I invite you to join the Faculty in recognizing the contributions of our faculty and staff at the Celebrating Engineering Excellence reception on April 18.
