Between now and 2050 we face great challenges: climate change, infectious viruses, clean water, cybersecurity, to name just a few. The opportunities ahead of us are possibly even greater: big data, driverless cars, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and many more.All these challenges and every opportunity have many things in common: they are complex, they are borderless and they transcend traditional divides.To solve these big problems and to seize the enormous possibilities within our grasp, the world needs engineers and scientists who are more than just technical experts.We need engineers and scientists with passion and perspective.We need graduates who think in big systems not little silos, who design with people in mind, who embrace ambiguity.The Lassonde School of Engineering has been created to be a place where students are free to explore their passions and gain different perspectives from the world around them.
