About TISED
About TISED
Established in 2012 through a gift from the Trottier Family Foundation, TISED supports research and offers courses on sustainability in engineering and design at the Faculty of Engineering, and informs and educates decision-makers and the public about sustainability issues.
TISED's membership comprises tenured and tenure-track professors from across six departments and two schools at the Faculty of Engineering who conduct research related to TISED's research themes:
| Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Sustainability in Engineering and Design (Non-Thesis) (45 credits) |
|---|

TISED offers an M.Eng. in Sustainability in Engineering and Design with a broad sustainability training in an interdisciplinary environment. The program鈥攐pen to students with an undergraduate degree in engineering, urban planning, or architecture鈥攐ffers advanced training in fundamental and contemporary concepts of sustainability and equips students with specific skills to understand and address critical sustainability challenges in the practice of engineering, architecture, and urban planning. The interdisciplinary format of the program allows students to learn to integrate non-engineering disciplines and systems-based approaches, such as industrial ecology and life-cycle assessment, into their engineering and design solutions. Program graduates will understand the broad ramifications of sustainability and its interplay with engineering and design and be able to implement sustainable engineering and design solutions within the context of broader sustainability theory for their future employers in industry, government, or academia. For more information regarding the program, please consult the TISED website. |
