YORK UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
York University is delighted to announce a $100M transformative expansion that will lead to the creation of the Lassonde School of Engineering. Supported by a generous donation from Pierre Lassonde and by the Government of Ontario and York University, this ambitious project builds on the successes of the present School of Engineering, which currently offers fully accredited and innovative programs in Computer Engineering, Geomatics Engineering and Space Engineering, as well as a new program in Software Engineering (eng.yorku.ca). The planned expansion will lead to new programs in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.
This major initiative provides a unique opportunity for both senior and junior faculty to help lead the creation of innovative teaching and research programs that integrate the diverse areas of Engineering, Law, Business, Sciences and Humanities, within the multidisciplinary environment of York University.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Drawing on York University's strengths not only in engineering and the sciences but also in business, law, the humanities, and social sciences, the future Lassonde School of Engineering will ensure that engineering students are broadly educated to support future economic and social development. By embodying York University's core values of social responsibility, global citizenship and interdisciplinary education, the new Lassonde School of Engineering will provide a unique approach to developing a new generation of entrepreneurial engineers with a social conscience.
