We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

Graduates with High Honours
Note 1.11a: Students are normally eligible to be considered for Honours standing only if they are carrying a full academic load (2.5 credits per session, excluding extra courses) and if the session is not being repeated. During fourth year, a student may reduce their course load in either semester (but not both) and still be eligible for Honours standing, provided the other conditions are met.
Note 1.11b: The results for the most recent 3 terms (2020 Winter, 2020 Fall and 2021 Winter) reflect various impacts due to COVID-19 adaptations. Moving all classes to online formats necessitated adjustments both to specific assignments and to overall grad-ing schemes. For 2020 Winter only, students were permitted to apply a Credit or No Credit (CR/NCR) option, rather than a percentage grade, to any of their courses, or even to drop a failed course, after seeing their final grades. Sessional grades used to determine hon-our status were calculated using only those courses that students chose to have recorded as a percentage grade. A minimum of 4 such percentage grades were required to be considered for the Dean’s Honour List. For the 2020–2021 academic year, the CR/NCR option was discontinued, but the extended Late Withdrawal option was retained. Provision was also made for part-time students to achieve Dean’s Honour List standing.

Note 2.1: Applications and offers include those received between May and April of the listed academic year. Registrations are shown as of November 1. Selectivity = offers ÷ applications and represents the proportion of applicants who were offered admission. Yield = registration ÷ offers. Domestic students are defined as citizens (living in Canada or abroad) or permanent residents of Canada. Students who have fast-tracked from MASc programs into PhD programs are counted in these figures as applications, offers and admissions.

Figure 2.3b Full-Time Equivalent Graduate Student-to-Faculty Ratios by Academic Area and Degree Type, 2020–2021
Note 2.3b: Some students in BME are supervised by faculty members from the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry and affiliated hos-pitals, as well as from other departments within U of T Engineering. Because the ratio includes only faculty with a budgetary appoint-ment in BME, comparisons with other Engineering departments are not possible. For that reason, this figure shows BME in a visually distinct way. In cases of inter-departmental supervision within the Faculty, PhD and MASc students are assigned 100% to their primary supervisor’s department.
Note 2.3c: Students on PEY Co-op are not included in this count.

The following figures indicate the median time to completion for graduating cohorts in each master’s and doctoral degree program by academic area for the past decade. Time to graduation represents the length of time between a student’s initial enrolment in a graduate program and meeting all the requirements for graduation. The data only includes terms in which a student is registered, excluding leaves, lapses and (in most cases) the term in which convocation occurs. Where a student is fast-tracked from the MASc into a PhD, the total time for both programs is counted. Distinguishing full-time, extended full-time and part-time MEng students provides greater clarity.

Figure 3.16 Summary of Progress Against the Recommendations of Striving Toward Black Inclusivity (2019) as prepared by the Black Inclusion Steering Committee (BISC), 2021
Interim Recommendations (From November 2018)
Description Progress
Establish an Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) office
A new role of Assistant Dean and Director, Diversity, Inclusion and Professionalism (AD-DIP) was established in 2019.
In 2020-2021, the Office for Diversity, Inclusion and Professionalism (DIP) added a number of casual staff roles to develop EDI projects and initiatives within the Faculty. This included hiring the President of the National Society of Black Engineers U of T chapter to develop Black inclusivity initiatives centred around mentorship.
Collect race-based data
Led by the Dean’s Advisor on Black Inclusivity Initiatives, a working group consisting of members of the Engineering Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Group (EEDIAG and the Registrar’s Office created the Engineering Applicant Census (EAC), an optional demographic survey that applicants to the Faculty’s undergraduate programs can fill which allow the Faculty to create a demographic profile of the applicants.
The pilot of the EAC was implemented for the 2020-2021 application cycle. The data is not shared with the admissions committee, but instead will be used by the Registrar’s Office to understand potential barriers in the engagement and admission process for different communities.
Acknowledge and support Black History Month (BHM)
In collaboration with Engineering Strategic Communications, BHM communications campaigns were developed and executed in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The BHM 2021 campaign included increased emphasis on the Black woman experience within the Faculty.
Enhance and streamline communication to advertise and build inclusivity efforts
The EDI webpage, including a joint statement by the Dean and the Engineering Society President on “Our Shared Values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity” launched in 2018.
In January 2021, U of T Engineering launched a webpage and form to allow community members to make a confidential disclosure of an incident of bias, discrimination, harassment or harmful unprofessionalism. This portal was publicized on the main Faculty website and in the Faculty & Staff Newsletter.
Have Black representation at departmental and Faculty seminar/lecture series
The co-chairs of BISC brought a proposal to display scholarship of Black academics via departmental seminar or lecture series to the monthly Chairs and Directors meeting in March 2019.
Departments/institutes such as ISTEP have brought in Black academics to speak on their research. However, no changes to current processes to facilitate intentional diversification have yet been implemented.
In 2021, the University of Toronto Anti-Black Racism Task Force also recommended a lecture series to provide a platform for Black excellence in research.

Have targeted Black undergraduate student recruitment
In the summer of 2020, the Engineering Outreach office launched Blueprint, a four-week summer program for highly motivated Black students in Grades 9 to 12. Blueprint built on the success of other outreach programs, such as ENGage, which has run for more than a decade.
More than 50 students joined Blueprint, which was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Engagement with the students who identified as being in Grade 12 continued during the 2020-2021 academic school year. Five of these students received offers of admission to U of T (four in Engineering, one in Arts & Science) to begin undergraduate studies in the 2021 – 2022 academic year.
The Recruitment Office has continued to collaborate closely with NSBE U of T on increasing visibility of the Black student community and creating connections for prospective students, including dedicated student panels, and representation in clubs, fairs and open houses. In addition, Recruitment has also provided admissions presentations and promotion for NSBE outreach efforts such as the High School Conference and NSBE Hacks.
Data made possible by the Engineering Applicant Census (EAC) further enabled the creation of Black Student Community Welcome events to celebrate Black admitted students and facilitate connections to the U of T Engineering community.
Increase involvement at the NSBE National Convention
U of T Engineering had strong representation at the NSBE Region 1 and national conferences in 2018 and 2019.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, U of T Engineering’s sponsorship of the 2020 NSBE National Convention was transferred to the 2021 Convention which undergraduate and graduate recruiters attended virtually.
Additional Recommendations (From September 2019)
Prospective and Current Undergraduate Students
Continual review of broad-based admission goals and procedures to further enhance the equitable and inclusive nature of general admissions
BISC highlighted key questions that the admissions committee should consider with regard to reviewing and updating admission procedures through an equitable lens.

This new facility, to be located on the ground floor of 88 College Street, is designed to catalyze partnerships between external organizations and U of T Engineering.
A conceptual pre-design study has been carried out, providing a 'best-fit' accommodation solution and a rough order-of-magnitude cost estimate for the renovations that would be needed.
Sustainability Research Laboratory (S-Lab)
Located on the roof of the Wallberg building, S-Lab will feature 340 72-cell monocrystalline panels and advanced environmental sensors to accelerate research and training around cross-disciplinary sustainability issues.
In March 2021, Governing Council’s Executive Committee granted Cycle #4 Governance approval. The project has been tendered and construction is expected to start in the summer of 2021, with occupancy set for the of 2022.
Experiential Learning Commons
A new joint collaborative career centre, located on the third and fourth floors of 255 Beverly Street, will include accommodations for the Engineering Career Centre, as well as career support programs from the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Employer Relations Team from central Student Services. It will house programs such as the Professional Experience Year (PEY) Co-op Program as well as new work experience offerings focused on graduate students.
In May 2021, the project received Cycle #5 Governance approval. The general contractor is mobilizing on site in July 2021, with completion expected for the late spring of 2022.
Adjustable Multi-dimensional (AMD) Loading System & Upgrade of Structural Testing Facility
Revitalization of the Structural Testing Facility, located in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering, will include the installation of an adjustable multi-dimensional (AMD) experimental loading facility.
Funding for the project from the Canada Foundation for Innovation was announced in March 2021. A feasibility study, supported by the Dean’s Strategic Fund, was delivered in June 2021. Future work includes the boring of holes for hydro-geological work, and the integration of the Feasibility Study cost estimate into the University's Total Project Cost (TPC) context and framework.
Gull Lake Survey Camp Bunkhouse
This new facility will house up to 96 people and includes a washroom and shower facility, common room, and new septic system.
Despite delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and weather, construction of the buildings and installation of the sewage treatment system are slated for completion by July 2021.
Engineering & Computer Science Library Renovation
The renovated spaces will include several new elements, including group study rooms, a classroom, windows and carpet tile, as well as improved ventilation and refreshed spaces on both floors.
