Core Purpose
Our core purpose is to create and apply knowledge and to educate globally responsible professionals empowered to effect enduring, positive change for society.
Strategic Planning
The Faculty of Applied Science is involved with a number of projects and planning activities intended to continuously improve the learning, research and professional practice experiences of those involved with the Faculty. Many of these activities are complementary to UBC's Trek2010 vision, and thus align our long-term goals with those of the university and business communities.
Leadership
Applied Science is currently led by Dean pro tem Eric Hall, who is assisted
by three Associate Deans. Each school, engineering department, engineering
program and research centre within Applied Science has a Director or
Head who provides leadership for the Faculty unit.
Advisory Councils
The Faculty of Applied Science and each of its schools and engineering
departments have advisory councils to help insure the most relevant
academic programs, teaching, research and professional service.
The councils’ advice—which stems from the collective experience
of distinguished professional, industry and governments representatives—is
aimed at helping Applied Science remain responsive to cultural, economic
and technological changes taking place in society and the marketplace.
