The NSERC CEED Chair

An entrepreneurial mindset is essential for every design engineer who seeks to develop innovative products, as well as for anyone wishing to succeed as an intrapreneur or entrepreneur.
Technological intra/entrepreneurship aims at teaching engineers to be better agents of change, either within existing organizations or through new ventures.
Entrepreneurship, both social and for profit, is relevant to all engineering disciplines and—through its integration with design engineering—is an important differentiator for our students.
Here at the Faculty of Engineering, we are focused on developing an entrepreneurial mind set in all our students
