International Engineering Science Consortium

The International Engineering Science Consortium was established in 2013 by five Engineering Science institutions: Applied Science and Technology Graduate Group, College of Engineering, University of California, Berkeley (USA); Division of Engineering Science, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, University of Toronto (Canada); Engineering Science Programme, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore (Singapore); Graduate School of Engineering Science/School of Engineering Science, Osaka University (Japan); and School of Engineering Sciences, Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden).

The Consortium defines Engineering Science as follows:
  • An interdisciplinary field bridging the gap between scientific theory and engineering applications with emphasis on the integration of mathematical, scientific, engineering and arts principles.
The Consortium targets to increase awareness of Engineering Science by:
  • providing opportunities for discussions regarding the global mission of Engineering Science
  • establishing joint educational programs on Engineering Science by the participating institutions
  • enhancing joint academic research projects on Engineering Science between the participating institutions
  • promoting Engineering Science networking and partnerships among scholars and academic communities
  • establishing a website to promote greater public awareness of the activities of the Consortium
The five founding institutions have agreed to promote the following activities:
  • Student workshops for global studies/research
  • Exchange of information and materials in fields of shared interests
  • Exchange of researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students
