    Partnering for a Better Future for Advanced Manufacturing 2 CONTENTS 3 Introduction 6 Training and Upskilling the Talent to Drive Advanced Manufacturing in Ontario 7 Developing Skills through Work-Integrated Learning 11 Fostering Entrepreneurship in University Students 14 Building Strong Communities: The local impact of Ontario’s universities in advanced manufacturing 16 Driving Innovation through Industry Partnerships 17 Partnering with Local Businesses 20 Advancing Industry through Research 25 Sharing Infrastructure and Equipment for Industry Success 3 Introduction Ontario workers and families depend on a strong and competitive manufacturing sector to drive economic prosperity. This sector is the economic pulse for many communities across the province, with more than two million Ontarians directly and indirectly contributing to the building of materials and products – from Southwestern Ontario to the North, East and everywhere in between. Today, the manufacturing industry is transforming worldwide. New technologies are rapidly changing the way companies operate. They are also changing the types of skills workers will need to use them. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3-D printing and cloud computing are leading us into a fourth industrial revolution. In this period of transformation, the province sits at a window of opportunity – uniquely positioned to combine its strengths in manufacturing and technology, and become a global leader in advanced manufacturing. The industry is entering a new, innovation-driven era that will play to Ontario’s strengths, as a hub for next-generation technologies and with a workforce that is positioned to keep the province competitive and attract investment. Ontario’s manufacturing sector makes up 12% of the province’s GDP and 80% of its exports → 4 Introduction Ontario’s universities are working with employers to further develop this workforce, ensuring workers have the skills they need to create and adapt new technologies and succeed in the future of advanced manufacturing.

  • The Impact of Tuition Increases at an Ontario University*
    The Canadian Journal of Higher Education La revue canadienne d'enseignement supérieur Volume XXXII, No. 3, 2002 pages 85-118 The New Entrepreneurship in Higher Education: The Impact of Tuition Increases at an Ontario University* LINDA QUIRKE & SCOTT DAVIES McMaster University ABSTRACT Recent increases in university tuition fees are part of a new entrepre- neurial trend in higher education in which institutions are expected to generate more of their own revenue. We examine the effects of this trend on access to universities for students of lower socioeconomic origins, and identify a series of cross cutting pressures. On the one hand, tuition fees pose an obvious financial barrier for these students, whom researchers have shown to be relatively cost-sensitive and debt-averse. On the other hand, the demand for university education among youth from all backgrounds remains buoyant, and student cultures may be increasingly resigned to accepting large debts to finance their schooling. We then examine empirical evidence from two surveys from the University of Guelph, along with some supplementary sources. We find that the representation of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds fell substantially during a decade of rising tuition costs. In discussing this finding, we link the phenomena of higher and de-regulated tuition to the new entrepreneurship, and argue that it has the potential to increas- ingly stratify Canadian higher education. * The authors would like to thank Ian McMillan and, in particular, the late Sid Gilbert for their assistance with earlier versions of this work. 86 L. Quirke & S. Davies RÉSUMÉ Les augmentations récentes des frais de scolarité à l'université font partie d'une tendance à un «nouvel entrepreneurship» dans l'enseignement supérieur, tendance à l'intérieur de laquelle on s'attend à ce que les institutions génèrent leurs propres revenus.

  • 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report
    Cape Breton University Selected Comparison Groups August 2011 Reviewing Your NSSE 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report The NSSE Institutional Report displays results for each institution alongside three comparison groups which are customizable. In June, your institution was invited to select comparison groups via the "Report Form" on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were selected, and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized in several ways. Contacts may identify specific institutions from the list of all current-year NSSE participants, compose the group using institutional characteristics, or begin with institutional characteristics, then add or remove specific institutions to refine the comparison group. If an institution does not customize a comparison group, NSSE provides default groups which provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. The default groups are: Comparison Group 1 - For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains current-year institutions in the same geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other consortium members. Comparison Group 2 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification. Comparison Group 3 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions (Canadian participants are also included in this group for Canadian institutions).
