Next Steps

Going forward, Academic and Administrative Units will continue to develop their individual strategic and implementation plans, including data targets and outcomes for the next five years. Once finalized, the detailed Academic Plan will be available to Faculty of Engineering students, faculty, and staff.

On an annual basis, the Associate Deans, Chairs, and Directors will report against the Academic Plan. The results of the report will be reviewed and monitored by the Dean of Engineering and EPC. The Academic Report will be accessible on the Engineering Strategic Plan Reporting website for all Faculty of Engineering students, faculty, and staff (WatIAM login required). The Director of Planning will use the information from the Academic Report to report against the Faculty Goals, presented here in the Faculty of Engineering Strategic Plan 2020-2025.

The Faculty of Engineering developed its strategic plan in parallel to the University of Waterloo’s strategic plan. Both plans are intended to direct activities for 2020-2025. Throughout the development process, the Dean facilitated knowledge sharing both from the Faculty to the University of Waterloo administration and from the University of Waterloo administration to the faculty, thus ensuring integration and collaboration throughout the planning process. The Faculty of Engineering will continue to engage in the implementation of the University of Waterloo’s strategic plan.
