Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) Certificate
What is the EPP certificate?
Engineers have much to contribute to the creation and implementation of public policy in areas such as energy, water use, sustainable design, sustainable building materials, health and safety, transportation and urban renewal.
So, in collaboration with the
School of Public Policy and Governance since 2009, U of T Engineering now offers a series of Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) graduate-level courses that deliver a strong foundation in the field and the opportunity to pursue specific aspects of the discipline, including transportation, environmental decision making technology, global energy systems, infrastructure economics, and strategic policy implementation. Students earn an EPP certificate upon successful completion.
To graduate with the EPP certificate, students must complete at least four of the Engineering and Public Policy courses listed below. These courses can also be integrated into existing MEng programs to enhance technical content and provide a complementary learning experience.
Who should take EPP courses?
EPP appeals equally to recent graduates and those who have worked in the field for a number of years. EPP courses would be best suited to those currently working (or aspiring to work) in an engineering career that involves public policy. In all cases, those interested in taking EPP courses must possess an undergraduate degree in engineering.
Current EPP Courses
For the MEng/EPP certificate, students must take two “core” courses and select an additional two courses from a list of electives. Courses are offered in the Fall and Winter terms. Students may start their EEP certificate in either the Fall or Winter term.
