For Queen's Students
Indigenous Futures in Engineering provides culturally relevant student support services to Indigenous students enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Working in partnership with the Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre, InEng strives to support the academic, physical, spiritual and emotional needs of students. Through InEng, students have access to tutoring and exam prep sessions, mentoring opportunities with practicing Indigenous engineers, and liaison with industries particularly interested in the development of Indigenous engineers through summer employment, internships and permanent positions.
For Prospective Students
Indigenous students considering study at the Queen's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science are encouraged to contact the Director of Indigenous Futures in Engineering for more information about the services available to them through this initiative. With a growing Indigenous undergraduate student body, particularly in engineering, Queen's is a supportive environment in which to pursue a post-secondary education.
For Indigenous youth, teachers, parents and counsellors
A key outreach element of Indigenous Futures in Engineering is the support we provide for Indigenous youth and their teachers. Visit our Indigenous Futures in Engineering educational site for culturally relevant educational materials, games, videos, activity books and other online resources to help engage Indigenous youth with science and engineering.
