Past surveys

This report presents and reviews the results of the 2021 Canadian Federation of Engineering Students
(CFES) National Student Survey, which was conducted from November 3rd to December 6th, 2020. The National Student Survey on COVID-19 was motivated by the major changes that have impacted engineering students since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, and for further research on topics including the quality of remote engineering instruction and impacts to student mental health. This survey was completed by 4172 undergraduate engineering students from across the country. The results of this survey offer an examination of the educational and lived experiences of Canadian undergraduate engineering students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and provide an opportunity to better understand and address the unique issues that were brought on and amplified by the pandemic.
