History: our response
But, no engineering or advanced technologiesThus, a confusing name, at best (BCIT, SAIT,
ITALs, Polytechnics Canada)So:Drop “polytechnic”Or, add flagship programs in engineering,
allied health sciences and architectureANSWER: NO

interdisciplinary”• Broad based degrees in arts, science and
business• Plus more applied, laddered degrees• Focus on preparation for careers• Applied and relevant research• “Comprehensive”: keep doing everything, and
add degrees, at roughly the same rate of funding

Vision 2018• Grow: 5% a year• Campus identity: reflect the 4 regions• Continuing and PE (20%)• More programs, at cost• Advanced, and Green Technologies at “KPU Tech”• Tell our story more boldly and directly• Internally: be less siloed, and be easier on each
other
Prognosis

2041 Scenario PlanningMost benign scenario:
• Student as learner • Social funding for education• Local emphasis for educational services• Technology as a core feature of education• UBC now private, graduate/research and professional
school.• School of Design is private.• Rest in the LM form the “Lower Mainland University”• KPU Tech is “BCIT South”
Prognosis
![Page 52: The Accidental Polytechnic University Alan Davis CHET, UBC February 27th, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f1f5503460f94c370d6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
2041 Scenario PlanningMost awful scenario:
• All pse offered through a global corporation• Student as employee• Personal funding for education (through
employment)• Global emphasis for educational services• Technology as core feature of education
Prognosis
![Page 53: The Accidental Polytechnic University Alan Davis CHET, UBC February 27th, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f1f5503460f94c370d6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Campus differentiation could lead to 4 separate campuses, each with regional satellite centres
• “Richmond U”, “Surrey U”, “Langley U”• KPU Tech either thrives or is assumed
as “BCIT South”.• “Kwantlen College” as a spin off entity
for Access programming?• Technology will be huge factor for how
students access their education
Optimistic Prognosis
