We start building engineering leaders from their first day on campus. We integrate leadership into our curriculum and offer programs tailored to help them succeed in the workplace. By the time our students graduate, they will be able to lead teams, effectively collaborate on projects and make a difference.
We position engineering students for success by complementing curriculum-based technical knowledge with leadership experiences. Developing leadership capacity starts with working in teams, engaging with industry partners on design projects and having rich experiences outside the classroom.
Schulich engineering graduates are positioned to make accelerated and significant contributions that vastly improve the world we live in. As a result, they become policy makers rather than advisors, advocate for their profession and participate in all parts of society where there is an opportunity to create positive change.
This program offers students the opportunity to participate in advanced professional skills development that will bolster their success in the workforce when they graduate. The program involves a combination of structured learning opportunities, leadership coaching and mentoring, and hands-on leadership experiences.
Building on our many successful programs, we are also actively working to incorporate new initiatives into our school. We are looking to create an Research Chair in Engineering Leadership, an Engineering Leader in Residence, a Fellow in Engineering Leadership and more. To make these programs possible, we need to connect with likeminded community leaders and build partnerships to help us grow our engineering leaders.
