Minerva Canada undertook to develop 24 Teaching Modules at the request of many engineering professors attending Minerva Learning Forums and with support from Minerva’s key academic, industry partners and Engineering Deans. The modules address current Health and Safety (H&S) education gaps expressed by Minerva’s industry and academic partners and provide content for professors to teach H&S in their classes. The modules were also developed to address the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) engineering graduate attribute requirements on safety, risk education and content for it.
