Learn more about the Schulich School of Engineering
The Schulich School of Engineering is passionate about equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, which is why EDIA is a pillar of focus in our strategic plan.
Engineers have many opportunities to make significant positive changes in our communities, but the world also faces complex challenges. Access to reliable and trusted information, secure and affordable energy, clean water and climate resiliency are just a few of the issues our society is up against. These are also areas where engineering know-how and problem-solving will make a difference. Our students, alumni, staff and faculty members continue to innovate and have a meaningful and positive impact in our community. From new programs to creative makerspaces, from transdisciplinary research to technological advances, we celebrate our faculty momentum in educating the engineers of the future.
We are committed to weaving ways of being, ways of knowing, ways of connecting and ways of doing into our learning and research through Indigenous engagement and reconciliation. We are driven to be a national role model in fostering a community through equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. We are preparing tomorrow’s changemakers by providing unique experiences inside and outside of the classroom. We are inspired by the significance that will come from elevating our research and innovation impact.
