Grants and Contributions

The Chairs in Design Engineering (CDEs) were established to improve the level and quality of design engineering activity within Canadian universities. The program aims to increase design education and training for all engineering students; design and develop innovative products, processes and technologies; establish productive and effective collaborations between industry, design faculty and professional staff within the university and other CDE Chairholders, faculty and experts across Canada; advance design engineering knowledge through publications and presentations in both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed vehicles; integrate research activities into the CDE action plan actively participate in the Canadian Engineering Education Association; establish effective multidisciplinary design partnerships, teams and networks; and act as advocates for design engineering, generating an increased awareness and appreciation in both the research and outside communities for all aspects of design engineering.

Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.
