processSTEP 2: Identifying existing EDI training courses in Canadian engineering programsThe literature demonstrates that the engineering community in Canada aims at integrating EDIconcepts into higher education. Two aspects were studied: (1) EDI commitment in organizationalculture and, (2) embedment of EDI into education curriculum.(1) EDI commitment in organizational culture. The literature review shows the commitment ofCanadian engineering faculties to develop a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable organizationalculture. Two general trends can be observed.Firstly, some faculties (e.g., Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sherbrooke [16], Facultyof Applied Sciences at the University of British Columbia [17], Faculty of Applied Science

students need to drivethe learning process and be “active” participants in their educational process. Page 12.104.2One common approach to involve the students actively, for design classes, is to have the studentsdo "paper designs" as a mechanism to “experience” the design process. While “paper designs”accomplish the task of integrating engineering science fundamentals into the course, these “paperdesigns” do not encompass the whole design process because they ignore the manufacturing step.As a result, a student can design a solution that looks good on paper, but ignores the set ofproblems that surface when making the product.In most engineering

During that five year period, teachers are required to complete either an 18 hour approvedprogram of study or a master’s degree to move from provisional certification to professional certi-fication. Most new teachers, as they work toward their professional certification, simultaneouslyseek enrollment in a master’s degree program in education.
