Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has awarded the maximum possible national accreditation term of six-years for the Mechanical Engineering program offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). 

The CEAB has now certified all UOIT Engineering programs its strongest level of endorsement. FEAS engineering programs include: Automotive, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical and Software Engineering. All disciplines provide opportunities to participate in co-op and internship programs, international exchanges and placements, and a five-year Engineering and Management degree.

“The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is very proud of achieving this threshold – the CEAB’s affirmation speaks to the quality and depth of our Engineering programs,” said Dr. Tarlochan Sidhu, Dean, FEAS. “I applaud the efforts and teamwork of our entire faculty and staff, which have helped the University of Ontario Institute of Technology achieve this prestigious recognition.”

Engineers Canada oversees the CEAB’s accreditation process, which examines all undergraduate engineering programs across the country and verifies that the highest education standards are being met. CEAB accreditation is recognized internationally and is a mark of a program’s quality.
