Graduate Attributes 101
Workshop was held July 13, 2021
In order to maintain our critical accreditation, each program must provide evidence that our students are attaining key “attributes” as defined by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Moreover, our programs need to also be performing “continuous improvement” – i.e. finding evidence-driven actions and processes to improve curriculum and student learning.
This workshop provided:
- an introduction to the CEAB assessment criteria (graduate attributes)
- background on creation of learning outcomes statements
- description of a methodology for performing outcomes based measurements

Workshop on Academic and Research Integrity
July 21, 2021
9:30 - 10:30 am
Via Zoom
The main purpose of a university is to encourage and facilitate the pursuit of knowledge and scholarship. The University states unequivocally that it demands scholarly integrity from all of its members. Academic and Research dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive to the values of the University; furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to those students who pursue their studies honestly.
This workshop provides:
- an introduction to the Academic and Research Integrity Policies,
- expectations of Instructors when pursuing charges or allegations under either Policy,
- tips and resources to assist you in your course design and interaction with students that will help to reduce dishonesty and increase integrity.
Facilitator: Kimberly Mason, Academic Integrity Officer, Office of Academic Integrity
Instructor Reflection Toolkit
Reflection is a critical component of the learning process. As part of the Faculty of Engineering's commitment to high-quality experiential education, the Instructor Reflection Toolkit has been created in collaboration with MacPherson Institute to support our instructors and teaching assistants in integrating reflection into their courses.
Whether you are hoping to learn more about the importance of reflection, identify different reflection models and frameworks, locate reflection assignment templates, or begin to better assess student reflections, you will find it in this toolkit!
