Indigenous Knowledge Reshapes Engineering Education at Dalhousie – Dalhousie University
April 27, 2026
A course in Dalhousie’s Faculty of Engineering is reshaping how students understand their role as engineers, offering a rare opportunity to learn through Indigenous knowledge systems.
Developed in collaboration with the Ulnooweg Education Centre and an advisory council of Indigenous partners and community members, Indigenous Perspectives in Engineering supports students in understanding both the history and responsibilities of working with Indigenous communities and lands.
Led jointly by the COO of Ulnooweg, Christopher Googoo, and Dalhousie Civil Engineering alum and instructor Levi Morrison (BEng’13), the course combines Indigenous knowledge systems with applied engineering practice.
