Preparing Western Engineering students for future in leadership

Western University's Faculty of Engineering and Ivey Business School will now offer engineering students an education like no other in Canada, thanks to a generous $3-million gift from John M. and Melinda Thompson. The donation will strengthen the academic experience of Western's engineering students by incorporating business and entrepreneurial education into the engineering program. New courses will be developed that incorporate Ivey's proven Case-Method Learning and build on the success of the BESc/HBA dual degree program as well as Ivey's expertise in developing leaders of high-growth entrepreneurial firms. Western's Integrated Engineering program will now be unmatched in Canada. Engineering students will learn all areas of engineering while excelling in management, leadership and innovation. A $1.5 million portion of the gift will be matched by the University to create a $3-million endowment to establish the John M. Thompson Chair in Engineering Leadership and Innovation, housed at Ivey's Pierre L. Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship, and jointly appointed by the Ivey Business School and Western Engineering. The Chair will lead the development of a Centre for Engineering Leadership and Innovation and the creation of a Certificate in Leadership and Innovation within Western Engineering. The remaining $1.5 million of the gift will provide for the John M. Thompson Visiting Industry Fellowship in Engineering and Leadership, a total of seven student awards, and the John M. Thompson Case Studies & Curriculum Development Fund. Posted by Communications and Public Affairs
