A Message from Dean Cristina Amon


There has never been a more exciting time for entrepreneurial activities at U of T Engineering.
 
Across the Faculty, we encourage innovation and business acumen through The Entrepreneurship Hatchery, which helps undergraduates to turn their ideas into prototypes and startups, and the Heffernan Commercialization Fellowships, which enable graduate students to bring their research to the marketplace.
 
The Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CEIE) will play a pivotal role in cultivating tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, with its collaborative learning spaces, multidisciplinary research institutes and state-of-the-art prototyping and fabrication facilities.

As a tribute to the creativity and leadership at U of T Engineering, I invite you to the ground-breaking event for the CEIE on June 24, 2015. I hope you will join us to celebrate our past successes and imagine what is to come.
 
– Cristina

Professor Jun Nogami, Chair of MSE, promised to ride his daughter's bike into the Hart House swimming pool if his fourth-year undergraduates beat U of T Engineering's Graditude fundraising campaign participation rate from two years ago. They did—and he got wet!
