ESP is a foundational course, offered in first year engineering at the University of Toronto, that uses the engineering design process as a context for developing skills in Professional Communication, Problem Solving, Independent Thinking, Systems Thinking, and Team Dynamics.
Read about how five U of T programs, including ESP, strengthen the Toronto community.
See how two teams of ESP students redesigned the West Bend community intersection to be safer and more effective. And also an ESP team designed solutions to deter wrong-way driving on one-way streets in Harbord Village.
One team of ESP students came to the rescue of priceless books for the Fisher Rare Book Library: U of T article; Toronto Star article; and CBC article.
