• It is increasingly recognized that understanding basic science and mathematics are only two of the many areas that are essential to professional engineering practice.
  • Engineering students in this program must make responsible decisions based on good judgment and an ability to justify decisions within a structured analytical framework.
  • This fundamental requirement of engineers to think critically in response to ever-changing and complex situations is accomplished through a design stream core which relies heavily on inquiry-based learning supported by traditional lecture-based knowledge.
  • The progression in complex thinking skills occurs over the duration of the four-year program and beyond through appreciation of lifelong learning and professional development.
