Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science

Research Areas

The Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science is focused on practical, relevant research. We have several clear areas of focus - fields where we have proven strengths to which we are attracting top researchers, students, and industry partners. Each area involves multiple disciplines and has a direct impact on the communities around us, improving the quality of life and supporting economic well-being.

			Energy After more than a century of oil-driven economies, we are facing a new world — one where oil resources are limited and greenhouse gases must be reduced. FEAS researchers are exploring ways to optimize existing technologies, improve energy efficiency, and create alternative energy sources. Learn about the Faculty's Centre for Urban Energy (CUE).

			Biomedical Engineering More than ever before, technology is driving medical advances. FEAS researchers employ innovative ideas and technologies to improve medical imaging, diagnosis, and treatment.

			Water and Sustainability Canada is rich in fresh water resources, but we cannot take them for granted. Researchers at FEAS are working on technologies to protect, conserve,test, treat, and safely distribute water.

			Transportation Transportation is critical to Canada’s economic success, especially in the context of large cities. FEAS researchers have exceptional expertise in critical fields such as traffic and road safety, highway design, geomatics, aircraft design, and air quality.

			Digital Media Our world is increasingly a virtual one. Ryerson is a recognized leader in digital media for applications in fields such as healthcare, education, and entertainment. Researchers at FEAS are developing innovative hardware and software to support these advances.

			Technological Innovation Companies are now competing globally for innovative products, services and technologies. In FEAS, technological innovation is at the forefront of all our disciplines. Our researchers address science and technology challenges by sharing ideas, talent and technologies to help Canadian firms be on the leading edge.
