Engineering and Globalization (Global)
Every day, people in the developing world struggle to obtain many of the things that most of us in Canada take for granted, like clean water, safe shelter, and basic health care. Engineering students can make a difference. But to tackle these complex challenges effectively often requires a different mindset and a different set of skills. Through the Emphasis in Engineering and Globalization, and other initiatives, the Centre for Global Engineering aims to develop these capabilities in our students. The emphasis offers an innovative curriculum that enables our students to leverage their engineering knowledge and talent for maximal impact on issues of global importance. We develop the wide range of professional skills necessary to address the evolving technological challenges in an increasingly global society.
Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation and Technology in Engineering (ELITE)
Engineering practice today demands a breadth of skills: not only technical, but also an understanding of leadership, finance and business, management, entrepreneurship and innovation. Engineers often appreciate the importance of such skills only after they join the workforce.
The Emphasis in ELITE offers University of Toronto MEng students a broad range of courses in these topics. The first of its kind in Canada, the ELITE Emphasis is targeted at engineers seeking to develop a more well-rounded skill set.

Forensic Engineering
Forensic engineers are trained to logically investigate and analyse data from disasters, accidents and failures, and present an unbiased assessment of what the underlying cause may have been using deductive methodologies.
The Emphasis in Forensic Engineering creates a unique opportunity for students to gain specialized expertise and recognition for a personal and professional commitment to enhanced engineering investigation skills that will compliment design skills learned in other courses. Forensic engineers investigate accidents and failures commonly causing personal injury and/or monetary loss—the consequences of which are normally dealt with in a court of law.
