Overview
At CDE, we push boundaries to achieve world-class research excellence through the exploration and application of engineering, architecture, and design to solve complex problems. We pioneer unique models of interdisciplinary research that takes advantage of the natural synergies between these fields to advance impactful, basic and translational research.
In addition to our ten departments, our cross-disciplinary research thrives through partnerships. Our researchers forge new frontiers through college-level centres, global research partnerships and industry collaborations, powered by state-of-the art research infrastructure and unique capabilities.
People are at the core of our pursuits. We are committed to empowering visionary talent poised to redefine the future of architecture, design, and engineering, anchored in diversity and interdisciplinary research.
