Equity, Diversity + Inclusion
To shape a better society for all, a community of engineers as diverse as the problems we endeavour to solve is needed.
The Faculty of Engineering at the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ seeks equity in access to our education programs and employment opportunities and to programming and support for all current students and employees to succeed here.
We are committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusivity efforts as well as Indigenous Initiatives in alignment with Braiding Past, Present, and Future: Indigenous Strategic Plan the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategy, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s commitment to , and the Faculty of Engineering’s Vision and Strategic Direction. We recognize that engineering as a discipline should reflect the diversity of Canadian society. And our everyday actions, leadership, and openness to learning are needed in the effort to increase equity and inclusivity in engineering education and workspaces.1
