UOIT’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science awarded Silver Certification by PACE

The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology has been awarded one of the highest levels of international recognition by the Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE).

The university was presented with a PACE Silver Certification plaque at the 2014 PACE Annual Forum at Politecnico di Torino in Italy. The silver certification evaluation for the University of Ontario Institute of Technology was completed based on UOIT’s Annual Report Survey responses from 2011 to 2013.

“This recognition by PACE pays tribute to the depth of Engineering programs offered by the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, as well as the high quality of our modern laboratories and classrooms,” said Dr. Remon Pop-Iliev, Professor, FEAS. “We have brought together outstanding research faculty from around the world, and they collaborate with our students in the lecture hall, the lab and in the field, providing valuable hands-on research opportunities, even at the undergraduate level.”

All of UOIT’s Engineering programs have also received the highest possible accreditation from the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. UOIT is one of only seven Canadian universities designated as PACE institutions.
