Engineers must be able to work in multidisciplinary teams incorporating public policy, economics, and social responsibility. In light of the above, Concordia University proposes to establish an Institute for Water, Energy, and Sustainability Engineering that will provide a unique interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs, particularly Masters programs in Water, Energy and Sustainability Engineering. The long term objectives of the proposed program will be to train highly qualified personnel to design systems, solutions and technologies in a multidisciplinary manner to reduce environmental impact with emphasis on water, energy and resource conservation while enabling trainees to develop industrial and governmental policies that make production sustainable. The specific objectives of this CREATE program are: To catalyze, through collaboration, internships, enhanced research opportunities in sustainability; to train HQP in an interdisciplinary manner for public, parapublic and industrial sectors; to maintain and enhance interdisciplinary areas of teaching and research; and to attract external research funding and foster relationships with external researchers and internal Concordia researchers with similar interests. The novelty of the proposed Masters programs in Sustainable Engineering is evident within and outside the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, and through collaboration via internships (Golder Associates, Husky, Shell, SNC-Lavalin, Environment Canada) and co-supervision. Training will be through research laboratories with the coordination of courses (core, socio-economic and technical) with other universities in the Montreal area (Ecole Polytechnique, ETS and McGill University), industries (Hydro Quebec), and governmental laboratories (NRC and NRCan). Collaboration with Engineers without Borders, Kyoto University and Hanoi Water Resources University will enhance the development of the international training to obtain a Global Engineer. This program responds to the tremendous need for expertise in sustainability by various organizations so that ecological, social and economic concerns can be integrated into their operations and activities.

工程师必须能够在多学科团队中工作，包括公共政策，经济学和社会责任。鉴于上述情况，康考迪亚大学建议建立一个水，能源和可持续发展工程研究所，将提供一个独特的跨学科本科和研究生课程，特别是水，能源和可持续发展工程硕士课程。该计划的长期目标是培养高素质的人才，以多学科的方式设计系统，解决方案和技术，以减少对水，能源和资源保护的环境影响，同时使受训人员能够制定使生产可持续的工业和政府政策。该CREATE计划的具体目标是：通过合作，实习，促进可持续发展的研究机会;以跨学科的方式为公共，准公共和工业部门培训HQP;保持和加强教学和研究的跨学科领域;吸引外部研究资金，并与具有类似兴趣的外部研究人员和内部Concordia研究人员建立关系。拟议的可持续工程硕士课程的新奇在工程和计算机科学学院内外都很明显，并通过实习（Golder Associates，Husky，Shell，SNC-Lavalin，加拿大环境部）和共同监督进行合作。培训将通过研究实验室进行，并与蒙特利尔地区的其他大学（Ecole Polytechnique、ETS和麦吉尔大学）、工业界（魁北克水电）和政府实验室（NRC和NRCan）协调课程（核心课程、社会经济课程和技术课程）。与无国界工程师组织、京都大学和河内水资源大学的合作将加强国际培训的发展，以获得全球工程师。该计划响应了各种组织对可持续发展专业知识的巨大需求，以便将生态，社会和经济问题纳入其运营和活动中。
