The deadline to submit comments on the recommendations of the Engineering Design Task Force Report is Friday, December 4. The objectives of the consultation are to:
- Inform stakeholders of an alternate definition of engineering design (and therefore revisions to the Design Graduate Attribute, Criterion 3.4.4.3, and development of a new interpretive statement on engineering design) is being considered.
- Investigate stakeholder reaction to the report recommendations.
- Consolidate and synthesize stakeholder feedback with the objective of putting forward a list of recommendations for implementation.
- Identify barriers to change if the report recommendations are adopted.
- Develop a reasonable implementation plan that accommodates the diverse viewpoints of stakeholders.
Introductory webinars were held during the week of October 15. To view the recordings, review background on the work of the Engineering Design Task Force, and to participate in the consultation, please visit Engineers Canada’s website.
