Reimagining teaching and learning for a virtual semester

As summer takes its final lap before the fall semester, faculty and staff at McMaster Engineering have made tremendous strides in preparing for virtual teaching.

We are pleased to be the founding partner for the Quanser Digital Transformation Program to offer the latest in virtual engineering labs for all levels of study. We also celebrated great progress in our research labs, which you may read about below.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well, and enjoy the rest of the summer.
