Studio Liaison

Toronto, Ontario, Canada University of Toronto Full time

Course Description:
Praxis I introduces students to the theory and practice of engineering design and communication.

Through an integrated suite of interactive lectures, structured Design Studio activities, and multiple small-team projects, students explore core elements of both communication and design.

The emphasis for the communication instructors is on developing critical thinking, representing ideas in oral, written and visual form, and on understanding the structure of engineering argument.

Praxis I challenges students to explore the theories and principles that underpin engineering design and communication, to develop rigorous, individualized approaches to solving engineering problems, to adopt an outward looking and entrepreneurial engineering perspective, and to take an active role in shaping their future engineering studies.


Praxis II follows from Praxis I and challenges students to apply, enhance, and refine their engineering design and communication skills.

The design projects in Praxis II are both identified and defined by the students themselves and focus on issues associated with the City of Toronto, its agencies and services, and its communities and citizens.

In the first half of the course students, working in small teams, identify, frame, and document appropriate engineering challenges; in the second half they design, prototype, and present engineering solutions to a subset of those identified challenges.

In support of these activities, students continue to explore in greater depth the theories, tools, and practices of engineering design and communication.

Praxis II culminates in an open showcase where students present their design solutions to representatives from interested governmental and non-governmental agencies, to their project stakeholders, and to the general public.
