About UBC Engineering
UBC Engineering is involved in a number of projects and planning activities intended to continuously improve the learning, research, and professional practice experiences of those involved with the Faculty. Many of these activities are complementary to UBC's Trek2010 vision, and thus align our long-term goals with those of the university and business communities.
As such, we have been engaged in a strategic planning process since fall 1997—we invite you to read the latest edition of the UBC Engineering Strategic Plan (31 KB PDF).
Core Purpose
Our core purpose is to create and apply knowledge and to educate globally responsible professionals empowered to effect enduring, positive change for society.
Leadership
UBC Engineering is currently led by Dean pro tem Eric Hall, who is assisted by three Associate Deans. Each engineering school, department, program and research centre within UBC Engineering has a director or head who provides additonal senior leadership.
Advisory Councils
The senior leadership team is assisted by the Engineering Advisory Council in ensuring UBC Engineering and each of its schools and engineering departments provides the most relevant academic programs, teaching, research and professional service.
The Council’s advice—which stems from the collective experience of distinguished professional, industry and governments representatives—is aimed at helping UBC Engineering remain responsive to cultural, economic and technological changes taking place in society and the marketplace.
The engineering schools and departments also have industry advisory committees that assist the directors and heads in leading their units in a similar way.
