A Message from Acting Dean Brenda McCabe |
| Over the past year, many of our esteemed alumni have rallied behind the forthcoming Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CEIE), a core goal of U of T Engineering’s Boundless campaign. Recently, alumnus Henry Wu (EngSci 7T5, ChemE MASc 7T9) made a first-time donation of $3.5 million to support the construction of the CEIE and new spaces for the Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) and the Institute for Water Innovation (IWI). His generous gift will help position U of T Engineering as a leader in global water innovation and sustainable energy research.

The Faculty is also celebrating the accomplishments of our female students, faculty and alumnae–today and throughout history. Our proactive and targeted recruitment efforts over the past few years have been successful in attracting more women to our engineering community. In the fall of 2014, we had a record number of female first-year engineering students enrolled at U of T–the highest percentage in Ontario! One quarter of the entire undergraduate population is female, and our female faculty members have more than doubled in the past eight years. In a profession as diverse and innovative as engineering, this is encouraging news. I encourage you to read more about these successes.
I am pleased to share these recent accomplishments with you, and am deeply grateful for your continued involvement in Skule™.
Brenda McCabe
Acting Dean
