Our research activities are grouped into five areas to facilitate collaboration and a multi-disciplinary approach.
About the faculty
Reimagining a new model of student engagement, engineering design, and industry partnerships.
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa is a leader in engineering and computer science education and research, providing its students with top quality degrees and experiential learning experiences to prepare them to meet the ever-changing needs of society.
Make the future
Students are at the forefront of everything we do: the Faculty prioritizes their diverse needs and realities, their professional growth, and their motivation to improve the future.
We train students to become forward-thinking engineers and computer scientists at every stage of their lives, from our youth outreach programs for children to professional development opportunities for alumni and businesses. We cultivate their talents with the right balance of theory and practice, and we foster their entrepreneurial spirit with state-of-the-art design labs and facilities where they can see their ideas come to life.
We focus on collaborative, interdisciplinary research that considers the social, environmental, and economic impact of its solutions and findings. Our five areas of focus allow our world-class researchers to collaborate in meaningful ways and to lead innovation at a faculty, provincial, national, and international level.
Our strong ties and proximity to industry partners and government agencies enable our community to work on relevant issues and solve real-world problems. We are creating a curriculum that will incorporate enhanced engineering design, professional skills development, and experiential learning, all to give our students an education that reflects the global world in which they live.

Our strategic priorities
Accessible education
We educate students in engineering and computer science at all stages of life, from engaging youth through outreach programs to empowering professionals and graduates with the skills and knowledge to further their career through our professional development opportunities.
Student experience
With 24 clubs and teams, state-of-the-art facilities, and dedicated professors and staff, 电车无码 Engineering students have many opportunities to get involved. We foster a supportive community and aim to give every student who wants it the opportunity to work in their field before graduation.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
We foster an inclusive, equitable community where all students, staff and professors feel valued, respected and empowered to reach their full potential. We seek to expand opportunities for underrepresented groups by embedding EDI principles in policies, curricula and faculty development.
Research with impact
Our professors are leading researchers in their fields, and our students actively contribute to groundbreaking discoveries. Our worldwide collaborations with both the public and private sectors ensure that our research extends far beyond our faculty, creating real-world impact.
Entrepreneurial mindset
Our students are creative thinkers and builders who help make the future. We foster their entrepreneurial mindset by providing the skills, resources and mentorship to turn ideas into real-world solutions, empowering engineers to drive innovation and change.
Collaborations and partnerships
We seek to enhance our research activities and experiential learning offerings through provincial, national and international collaborations. Working with government and industry partners makes our research actionable, serving the public and solving the major problems of our era.
