The Schulich School of Engineering recognizes that industry is seeking superior engineering graduates who are technically competent but who also possess a broad range of personal and interpersonal skills.
The school's partnership with business and industry professionals guides the development of new curriculum and practices, identifies research opportunities, and ensures that Schulich graduates meet and exceed the expectations of the greater engineering community.
This relationship is fostered through the following programs:
