摘要：UBC was recently awarded an NSERC Chair in Design Engineering (CDEN). The focus of this chair is addressing the problem of ‘disciplinary silos’ in engineering education, primarily through enhancing cross-departmental and cross-faculty initiatives. Our principal initiative is a multidisciplinary senior design course which will bring together engineers from different departments in a year-long project sponsored by external clients. We will also establish a new building – the $6.6M Wayne and William White Engineering Design Centre – which will serve as the focal point for faculty-wide design activities.
