Abstract

Fire protection engineering is increasing in importance in Canada and other countries, especially with recent changes to building and fire codes. Fire protection engineering design is highly interdisciplinary, which can present challenges when developing courses in this area. At the University of Saskatchewan, this challenge has been partially addressed through partnerships with the fire service, and other universities and research organizations. This paper discusses the importance of considering the fire service in the design process, and provides examples of partnerships with the fire service in the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program and in graduate research projects.
