摘要:Process design is taught by instructors with a diverse mix of industrial and academic experience. The instructors work in close collaboration with working professional engineers including industrial technical specialists, entrepreneurs, and academic colleagues with an industrial focus to prepare unique process design projects and to advise student teams. Many of the industry advisors are long term contributors and over time some have been recruited as instructors for the design course. This community of practice offers students a window on engineering design practice and innovation as they transition to the professional community. This paper explores the contribution of the community of practice to student development, the achievement of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attributes, and the development of an innovation ecosystem.
