We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Research in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering

The electrical, computer and software engineering sectors have a vital role in the Canadian economy. Innovative research is being conducted to address various technological challenges such as providing more capable telecommunications networks (wireless and the Internet), intelligent control systems (with higher speed, better precision and lower cost) and power smart grids. Software systems engineering research is performed on computer programs and their integration into computer systems, as well as a range of applications.

Software systems engineering is the core component of the growing software sector and is increasingly important in many industries, including telecommunications, power generation, biomedical and manufacturing systems.
