摘要:In 2005, the University of Toronto’s Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry Department (CHE), in collaboration with the Engineering Communication Program (ECP), piloted a communications portfolio for second-year students. Over the past seven years the communication portfolio has been expanded into the third-year CHE requirements, adapted for use in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department(MIE) and next year will be used within the Civil Engineering Department. Through a discussion of the CHE and MIE portfolios we compare two different portfolio models and explain how this model has been adapted to its newest context in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. Through this approach we aim to show the usefulness of this portfolio model in supporting student development in communication, professionalism and life-long learning, three of the CEAB graduate attributes.
