Minerva Canada Summer Institutes, Learning Forums 3 day Institutes first started in 2004 in Sarnia with chemical eng. professors – hosts included Dow, Imperial Oil, Nova Business School Institutes in 2006-2007 2 day Institutes at University of Toronto and Calgary 2009-12 −all engineering disciplines, some business profs, focus was on H&S concepts, technology, systems, PSM, codes, standards −numerous presenters from CIAC member firms One day Learning Forums introduced in 2013, 2014 and hosted at 8 different universities, colleges in NS, Ontario, Alberta –Focus is now on use of Minerva Teaching Modules in the curriculum Over 500 professors exposed to Minerva Institutes, Forums since 2004 6

7. Minerva H&S Case Studies 25 case studies found on the Minerva Website –Covers various themes and topics—16 real cases incl. GM, SNC, Dofasco, Inco, CP –Each one prepared by a university professor, an industry host and $7,000 funding from Minerva per case study Well utilized by business, engineering professors –Document identifies possible usage in courses Case studies include instructor notes Minerva guidelines in place for their development Case studies will support future H&S teaching modules 7

8. 8 Minerva Canada Health & Safety Teaching Modules Background:  Project initiated by Minerva in 2011, designed to address health and safety education gaps found in Engineering Schools Full curriculum-- professors not always comfortable teaching H&S New CEAB requirements on safety, risk management Industry asking for better trained grads on H&S

9. 9 Minerva Canada Health & Safety Teaching Modules  Project design completed in 2012 – unanimously endorsed by Canadian Engineering Deans Two surveys conducted to understand industry needs – valuable CIAC member firm participation provided. Existing university / college health & safety programs, courses identified Integration into existing courses proposed 1-3 hour teaching modules proposed, many to be on-line 22 modules identified initially, core and discipline specific Engineering schools decide when / how to integrate over the four years of engineering Guest speakers to assist in delivery, if requested Modules include a quiz and to be student tested before finalized

10. 10 Minerva Canada Health & Safety Teaching Modules  Basic electrical safety module prepared for Minerva by Ontario Electrical Safety Authority for first-year students in 2012  Can be integrated into Ontario Work Smart Campus, an online tool on H&S fundamentals  Eleven modules began development with 8 universities and industry, Mitacs support in 2013 with six now in draft mode – includes PSM reviewed by CIAC PSM group  Round 2 modules (11) will start development in 2014 with 9 universities and industry, Mitacs support
