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.

Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education

Engineering graduates from our university have a competitive edge in today’s high-tech, global economy thanks to an in-kind contribution worth millions of dollars from Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE), a partnership including General Motors, EDS, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Siemens PLM Software and Sun Microsystems.

The in-kind investment includes state-of-the-art computer-based hardware, engineering software and student and instructor training and academic support. Our university is the sixth PACE Canadian university.

The PACE investments support our General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence, creating a new advanced automotive technology cluster centered at our university that links together the best Canadian companies, universities, students and engineers with companies in the Canadian automotive supply chain.

As a FEAS student, you are already being prepared for the global economy. By integrating the PACE tool set throughout our engineering curriculum, the university is upgrading its ability to train a new generation of engineers who are well-versed in today’s technology and ready to hit the ground running when joining an employer in any sector.

Our university is tremendously thankful to be part of this partnership that provides our students and researchers with access to a great collective wealth of resources and experience. Together with our unique programs, research work and state-of-the-art facilities, partnering with PACE positions our university as a leader in the continued innovation and transformation of the automobile manufacturing industry.

Professor Dr. Remon Pop-Iliev, who holds a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)-GMCL Chair in Innovative Design Engineering, holds the position of lead engineering integrator on the university’s PACE integration team. His research work provides meaningful contributions towards substantially, improving Canada's capacity in design engineering with a primary focus on the automotive and related sectors.
