Innovating Engineering Education

Reimagining the lab | Leaning on world-class technology | Using creativity in teaching

To adapt to a virtual learning environment, McMaster Engineering’s educators are pioneering new ways to teach and learn from home.

Michael Justason (W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology) is using Lightboards, an inventive tool to engage students in virtual learning, Justason can stand, gesture and face the camera, while presenting slides and other pre-recorded content on a vertical glass surface. Instructors can also write on the glass in real time.

Three programs in the W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology – automation engineering technology, automotive and vehicle engineering technology and biotechnology – have been granted accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
