Between October 1 and December 4, 2020 we consulted with stakeholders on a proposed new definition and interpretive statement for a definition of engineering design to be used in the CEAB accreditation criteria.
The objectives of the consultation were 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.
