# Seneca Equipping Tomorrow’s Engineering Leaders with EDI Tools

*Ranjan Bhattacharya, Dean, Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Technology, discusses the importance of emphasizing EDI principles in engineering education.*

***With a focus on diversity, industry collaboration, and global perspectives, Seneca is creating the engineering leaders of the future.***

#### Fostering future-ready leaders

As a polytechnic, Seneca is focused on applied technical education, including industry integration and experiential learning. With international connections, It’s providing the next generation of globally aware graduates the knowledge, experience, and cultural savvy to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.

“It all starts with making sure we’re meeting the needs of our industry partners and community,” says Bhattacharya. “Our programming is very industry-focused and industry-integrated. We also place quite an emphasis on experiential learning. Industry-recognized certifications are embedded in the curriculum of many of our programs, and many also offer co-ops, placements, internships, and community service options.” Capstone courses give students further opportunities to work on real-life problems, applying the knowledge they’ve learned in class to the context of an industry environment.
