Successful completion of an Engineering Certificate is included on transcripts. Note that no course counted for degree credit can be counted for more than one minor or certificate.
The Undergraduate Certificate in Global Engineering is open to Engineering students interested in developing their knowledge of global issues and how engineers can influence and improve conditions around the world. The courses focus on a variety of concepts such as effects of emerging and appropriate technologies in both developed and developing economies, global energy systems, innovative finance techniques, current theories in international development and foreign aid. All undergraduate Engineering students are eligible to participate in this certificate. Students who complete the requirements of the Certificate in Global Engineering are considered University of Toronto Global Scholars.
The requirements for the Certificate in Global Engineering in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering are the successful completion of the following courses:
