An extra year for courses in public policy Public policy courses allows: –to understand the meaning of public policy in a democratic society, and –as practicing professionals, to better apply technology in an ethically and socially beneficial and just manner In Canada, EPP degrees are only at the graduate certificate and MA level (e.g. McMaster University, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia).

How this will Enhance Student's Professional Career Have another designation that will set students apart from others applying for the same jobs Give students the basis to understand basic political and policy processes that could relate to their engineering discipline in the workplace Understand policy issues related to outsourcing, privacy, piracy, infrastructure, commerce etc.. that relate to their engineering field
