Background

About Terry Davison

I have been a post-secondary educator in the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology for most of my career. My work in education covers the full range from being a professor, a programme coordinator to being an Associate Dean. I began my career as a chemical engineer working with heavy water manufacturing, nickel and cobalt refining, and fertilizer manufacturing. My work included commissioning, plant engineering and engineering design for metal refining projects in Canada, the US, Indonesia, the Philippenes and South Africa. As an educator I have worked at 3 colleges primarily with engineering technology and to lesser extents with architecture and industrial training. My particular areas of academic interest are physical chemistry and process design. I have been associated with the creation of 4 new post-secondary programmes and the design and construction of related laboratory facilities. As an Associate Dean my reponsibilities involved the School of Applied Chemical and Environmental Sciences and the School of Architectural Technology operating on 2 different campuses with approximately 1600 full time students. Since 2020 I have worked as a part time professor at 2 different colleges and am open to new and interesting challenges.
