This plan builds on the strategic framework developed in 2008 and focuses on a number of initiatives to reflect the realities of the
postsecondary environment in 2014. Over the last four years, the postsecondary system in Ontario has witnessed a revolution
in the way teaching is delivered, an increasing demand for engineering programs, and a continued decline in funding in the
face of mounting costs. In response to very high demand, the Faculty has increased its enrolment at the undergraduate level to
over 2700 students, made a significant investment in infrastructure renewal, introduced new programs at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels through the generosity of alumni, and continued its renewal of faculty positions.
Now the Faculty is at a crossroad. In order to continue to maintain its high quality programming, it must develop new and
diversified revenue streams while continuing to reduce its costs in the face of increasing competition and changing demographics
