ISTEP supports students' transdisciplinary skill development outside of, and in complement to, their classroom and research experiences. We offer enriched learning opportunities that meet the diverse learning preferences and needs of graduate students. Seeking support on your research and dissertation? Want to explore career options beyond your degree? Interested in academia? Our graduate co-curricular programming provides you with support and opportunities to address these questions.
Co-curricular programming offers more flexible options for research-stream graduate students and MEng students who are seeking knowledge and skill development in both technical content and transdisciplinary skills.
