As the nation’s leading Engineering school, the University of Toronto continues to lead the way in providing state-of-the-art research and education in Engineering. Our Faculty motivates students to play a prominent role in defining problems, developing solutions, and delivering innovations and breakthroughs to our local and extended communities for years to come.
CELEBRATING OUR ALUMNI
 An Evening of Homage and Skule™ Spirit
At a lively intimate gathering held on November 6, 2008, Philip Yeo (7T6 Ind) was recognized with this year's Engineering Alumni Medal, one of six prestigious awards presented annually by the Engineering Alumni Association (EAA). Yeo's work since graduation has had a powerful influence on the modern transformation of Singapore into one of the Four Tigers of Asia. His impressive list of credentials solidifed his receipt of EAA's top honour. Yeo epitomizes a visionary engineer who takes on big projects that produce results and who understands the investment values in education.
