Whether you are working on a capstone project, assisting a faculty member, or developing a new product, you will find support, mentorship, and resources to help your work succeed.
Student research and faculty mentorship
Our programs are built around applied research. Students collaborate with faculty from any of our six academic schools to test new ideas, build prototypes, and analyse industry data. You will work alongside researchers who bring decades of experience from manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors.
Research ethics and approvals
All research involving human participants, animal care, or hazardous materials must follow strict guidelines. Review our institutional policies to understand the approval process. Every student researcher must submit a disclosure form if their project uses college resources or leads to a patentable invention.
