Education and Training TISED educates future engineers, urban planners, and architects by offering training opportunities, new courses, integrating sustainability into programs, and enhancing education ‘outside the classroom’. Teaching focuses on effective, practical, cutting-edge theories and strategies relevant to the development of sustainable engineers, architects, and planners’ career paths. TISED offers a growing catalogue of interdisciplinary sustainability focused courses, and a master’s program in Sustainability in Engineering and Design is under development.
A proposed Master’s Program in Sustainability in Engineering and Design TISED has continued to advance sustainability education at McGill University and the sustainability master’s program has taken further steps to becoming reality.
Program Timeline February 2019 - McGill Senate Final Approval May 2020 - Submission to Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI) & Québec Ministère de l’éducation et de l’enseignement supérieur In the past year, we have commenced formal steps towards creating a new master’s program in sustainability. The program dossier was submitted to the Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI) in May 2020 and presented to their Academic Affairs Committee in June 2020. In January 2021, TISED received a BCI request for more information on our proposed program in the form of questions on specific details of the program. All the McGill stakeholders in the program worked alongside with the TISED team to answer these questions and our responses were delivered back to the BCI in anticipation of the upcoming virtual site visit.
TISED Course Offerings In preparation of the debut of the master’s program, TISED has been gradually introducing the courses of the proposed program into the McGill Engineering curriculum.
