Leading Edge Facility |
|
The University’s Faculty of Applied Science has combined this facility and a fundamentally restructured curriculum to position Queen’s as a worldwide leader in engineering education. Located in Kingston, Beamish-Munro Hall is the home of the Integrated Learning Centre - a leading-edge facility with a nonconventional studio and team-based environment. Active Learning Resources and Project Areas are only two examples of the many types of facilities featured. As a “Live Building,” sensors throughout allow students to study, monitor and manipulate data generated from the building systems. |
