About Me


Dr. Marcia Friesen’s leadership practice has resulted in new programs that cross disciplinary and professional boundaries. Her work in pathways for newcomer engineers has shaped provincial and national approaches to foreign credentials recognition. She developed one of the first formal graduate credentials in the discipline of engineering education in Canadian universities. Her integrative approach makes EDI and Indigenous perspectives an ongoing dialogue in the activities, policies, curricula, and people at the University of Manitoba. She advances professional governance, accreditation, and EDI in the profession through board service on provincial and national organizations.
