A SPACE FORFUTURE LEADERS
Located in the engineering capital of Canada, the Schulich School of Engineering is evolving to meet the needs of a dynamic future. It is investing in individuals, strengthening Alberta, helping the nation and making
an impact globally. This is no small footprint.
At the same time, the school is reaching a critical threshold. It packs more students and researchers
into the current square footage than almost any other engineering school in the country.
THE ENGINEERING LEADERS CAMPAIGN SEEKS $60 MILLION IN COMMUNITY SUPPORT:
DOOR TO THE FUTURE$45 millionA new heart and hub that integrates the school
as a whole, and supports the kind of education
and engagement that delivers excellent graduates
and research.
EDUCATING LEADERS$6 millionStudent-focused programs – both in- and out-of-
classroom – significantly increase student success
throughout their education and professional lives.
LEADING RESEARCH$9 millionThis is where innovation all starts: new research chairs
and programs finding solutions to relevant problems.

“We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t yet been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.”
EDUCATOR KARL FISCH
THE ENGINEERING JOBS OF THE FUTURE ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT
THE NEED FOR ENGINEERS IS GROWING
Engineering education is dramatically different today than it was 30 years ago. The classrooms and laboratories of yesterday no longer fit the bill.
We are building a school that will graduate the
complex problem-solvers that this society needs.
They will be creative thinkers with hands-on
experience, imaginative, nimble, smart and able
to make a difference wherever they work and
whatever the assignment. When they enter the
workforce, they will be well prepared to hit the
ground running.
Over the past 10 years, there has been a 44
percent increase in engineering and technology
jobs in Alberta, according to an Engineers Canada
labour study. New companies and technologies are
continually being cultivated. Alberta’s knowledge-
based economy is emerging. Experts predict a
critical shortage of skilled workers as those at the
top of the current workforce retire.
New Schulich graduates are needed to help
Canadian engineering sectors – both traditional
areas and the innovative frontiers – remain a
powerful force for economic growth.
The Schulich School of Engineering has responded to the dramatic demand for engineers by increasing student enrolment over the past five years by 40 percent and faculty members by 30 percent.

DOOR TO THE FUTURE$45 million
The main Schulich School of Engineering building complex was built in the
1960s. Operationally, the classroom and lab space is
dated. The engineering school needs more, and better
designed, space.
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW ADDITIONThe addition will reflect the school’s prestigious
reputation and solution-oriented focus. The
13,500 square-metre three-storey “green”
centre will become the new heart of activity
for the engineering school, serving as the new
front door and as a central access point.
New labs will enable researchers to explore more
complex issues and collaborate with industry
more easily and more often. New teaching and
learning spaces will accommodate more students,
enrich the student experience and help produce
well-rounded engineers.
The Door to the Future will unify access to the currently disconnected complex. The new integrating hub and advanced facilities, a $180 million initiative, will include:
TEACHING AND LEARNING SPACES• tiered amphitheatres to expand student capacity and for public events
• contemporary classrooms equipped with the latest learning technologies
• undergraduate and graduate labs for hands-on experiences
• specialized computer labs
STUDENT SPACES• engineering team and club offices for competition and community work
• career centre for professional training throughout education
• small multi-purpose conference facility for hosting student events and think tanks
RESEARCH LABS• dry and wet labs that allow consolidation of research teams across the engineering complex
RENOVATED LEARNING AND STUDENT SPACES Approximately 20 existing areas will be redesigned
to create a superior environment for learning,
teaching, research and student interaction.
They will house the latest in educational
technology and support the ways students learn
both individually and in groups. These include
newly renovated classrooms and homerooms
for each engineering discipline.
The Schulich School of Engineering is the green engineering school in the heart of the oil patch.

#1 PRIORITY CAPITAL PROJECT ON CAMPUS
EDUCATING LEADERS$6 million
In the 1980s, employers expressed dissatisfaction with engineering
graduates’ professional skills. Engineering programs have
dramatically changed as a result. While the technical foundations
are still strong, engineering schools have reengineered their
programs. Curricula and assessment are more student-oriented,
and out-of-class experiences – such as internships, design
competitions and active participation in professional societies and
associations – play a large role. These non-classroom activities
significantly and positively affect learning.
THE ENGINEERING LEADERSCAMPAIGN WILL INVEST IN:Student Awards Create new awards to attract strong and diverse
students who will be future leaders in innovation
and community development.
Student Activities FundEnable international academic exchanges, short-term
study abroad programs, conferences, field trips and
involvement in clubs and teams. Students will tell
you how important these activities are.
Career Centre Strengthen the link between the worlds of school and
work through field trips, soft skills training, a mentor-
in-residence program, information sessions and
panel discussions, career days and internships.
Outreach Activities Encourage youth from ages 11 to 18 to stay
with math and science to broaden the base
of applicants in engineering programs. This
pipeline could not be more important, and has
a huge influence on the society and economy
of tomorrow.
Women’s Advancement Office Focus on the recruitment and retention of
female students and faculty. The Schulich
School of Engineering has one of the highest
populations of female students in the country,
but it is still less than our goal of 35 per cent.
The Schulich School of Engineering is investing in student-focused programs that significantly strengthen the young men and women who graduate to become the successful engineers of the future.
By investing in superior learning experience, the
Schulich School of Engineering will attract more
top-quality students eager to take advantage
of the opportunities offered by a leading
engineering school. This, in turn, will create a
good supply of top graduates — and future top
employees, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.
Ranked #1 engineering school in Canada for integrating
sustainability in engineering education

LEADING RESEARCH$9 million
Engineering research brings interdisciplinary
problem-solving to relevant social, technical and economic challenges.
The Schulich School of Engineering is challenging
the brightest minds to address issues high on the
local and international agenda. Research chairs
and centres of excellence attract the world’s top
engineers to Calgary, creating a critical mass of
talent to address these pressing issues. We are
part way there.
The school has one of the highest concentrations of research chairs of any engineering school across Canada.
With a research powerhouse like this,
commercialization of lab discoveries can yield
tangible returns on research investment. Access
to discoveries can be a powerful advantage
for companies seeking new and innovative
approaches to problems.
Research CentresHelp to create solutions in areas where we need
to make social and economic improvements.
Multidisciplinary in scope, research centres add
value to knowledge in ways not readily achievable
by existing administrative units or informal
research groups. Each research centre functions
as a teaching hub, focal point for research and a
vanguard resource for the industry it serves.
Research ChairsInvest in research leaders. Chairs are prestigious
faculty appointments established to recognize
and/or attract internationally acclaimed
senior academics whose scholarly activity and
accomplishments enrich selected areas of
research and teaching. These leaders attract the
top graduate students, and build highly effective
research teams.
Through the Engineering Leaders campaign, the Schulich School of Engineering intends to create 10 prestigious new chair positions and hire additional faculty in areas of strategic priority. Investments in this area offer significant leveraging opportunities for industry.
