Philip Asare

Philip Asare is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Engineering Science (EngSci) and the Institute for Studies in Transdisciplinary Engineering Education and Practice (ISTEP), and also holds a courtesy appointment in the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, all in the Faculty of Applied Science of Engineering at the University of Toronto (UofT). He is also currently the Dean’s Advisor on Black Inclusivity at UofT Engineering.

Philip’s approach to engineering and engineering education focuses on viewing engineering as a human activity, and the implication of this perspective for engineering education and practice. A significant theme of Philip’s teaching and projects focuses on how we educate engineers to operate in the complex socio-technical world, particularly how we create an engineering community that is diverse, inclusive, and equitable and the related benefits for society of such an engineering community.

Originally from Ghana, Philip relishes opportunities to bring his background and culture into his work.
