Prof. Centea completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at McMaster and has been teaching in B.Tech.’s Degree Completion Program for many years. Prof. Centea will be teaching in the Automotive and Vehicle Technology program.

Prof. Sauer completed her Ph.D. in Biology at the University of California at San Diego. She has also completed two postdoctoral fellowships – one at the University of California at San Francisco and subsequently at York University. Dr. Sauer was most recently at the University of Windsor teaching in the Department of Biological Sciences. She has also held teaching positions in genetics, genomics and biotechnology at the University of Toronto. Dr. Sauer will be teaching in the Biotechnology program.

The Bachelor of Technology, or B.Tech. program, is a unique multidisciplinary technology program offering three streams of education. A four-year degree/diploma program is available to graduating high school students. A university degree-completion program is offered to credentialed technologists and internationally trained professionals looking to upgrade their training. And certificate/diploma programs for those looking to take individual courses.
