Proposed positioning statement for input
It is vital to note the positioning statement does not replace our Faculty’s vision or mission; supports them for communication purposes to external audiences. The position is intended to be our platform of unique attributes that form a set of key messages, supported by statements that prove each message. The positioning statement is a broad vision for how we communicate with our target audiences. This statement will evolve and change over time and is open to further wordsmithing.
Vision
The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering will be a leader among the world’s best Schools of Engineering in its discovery, creation and transfer of knowledge and technology through teaching and research.
