摘要：In the mid 1960s, Ontario education policy makers recognized the need for an engineering trained individual to fill the gap between high school and university graduates, namely, an engineering technologist. This gap was filled by consolidating existing institutes of technology and creating the Ontario community college system in 1967. However, clear pathways for students to progress from an Ontario college diploma program onto a university bachelor’s degree were extremely limited. In 1997, Mohawk College and McMaster University created a bachelor of technology degree partnership to offer students such an option. This paper will discuss the unique aspects of the collaboration between Mohawk College and McMaster University, with a main focus on the inter-institutional synergies which drive the partnership’s success including: shared facilities and faculty, interdisciplinary co-op placements and joint research programs.
