A message from David S. Wilkinson, Dean of Engineering
Ranked among the top engineering schools in Canada and worldwide, the Faculty of Engineering plays a key role in helping McMaster University earn its well-deserved reputation as one of Canada’s most innovative universities in learning and research.
More than 3,000 undergraduate students and over 790 graduate students are enrolled in engineering at McMaster, drawn by a full range of engineering disciplines and the opportunity to learn and work with recognized leaders.
We enjoy one of the highest levels of research funding per faculty member in the country, a testament to the quality of research by our faculty. Currently the Faculty of Engineering receives more than $29 million a year in research funding from industry and government – vital funding for maintaining and expanding our research infrastructure and equipment. Through aggressive recruitment, we have a total complement of 148 faculty members.
Engineering faculty, staff and students at McMaster pursue research and learning in more than 22 research centres, institutes and networks whose interdisciplinary pursuits cross departmental and Faculty boundaries. Outside the University, we collaborate regularly on research projects with partners in universities, government and more than 100 companies in Canada and abroad.
Through its commitment to innovation, excellence and quality, the Faculty of Engineering creates new knowledge and shares that knowledge by educating and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders to make a difference for Canadians and for people around the world. We continue to pursue new research programs and partnerships in emerging fields from nanotechnology to alternative energy– and find new ways to link those programs to new learning opportunities for our students.
