The Queen’s University’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has a new name after a historic $100-million gift by Canadian financial services entrepreneur and philanthropist Stephen J.R. Smith. Smith holds a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Queen’s, graduating in 1972.
The faculty will be known as the Stephen J.R. Smith Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen’s University or more commonly as ‘Smith Engineering’.
The donation is the largest ever made to an engineering faculty in Canada, and the largest donation ever made to Queen’s.
