In the five years since the inception of the School of Engineering, our research programs have grown rapidly. Through our internationally diverse faculty and graduate student pools we are developing relationships with many countries in Asia including Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, China and India. Below are some of the projects that the School of Engineering is involved in.
- Professors Kasun Hewage, Shahria Alam, Rehan Sadiq and Deborah Roberts and professors in the sciences and the social sciences submitted a recent proposal concerning the social and engineering factors concerning the sustainability of water supplies in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
- Dr. Rehan Sadiq is working with faculty at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM, Saudi Arabia) on a project related to drinking water supply. The project is internally funded by KFUPM. He is also closely working with faculty at Southwest University (China) on topics of mutual interests.
- Dr. Gordon Lovegrove is currently developing a Canadian Chinese Sustainable Transportation Research collaboration.
