Safety Courses on Canvas

In order to facilitate the training of our students, the College of Engineering Safety Committee has created two Canvas courses that include a number of safety videos from the campus Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) student training portal.

  • All College of Engineering students will automatically be enrolled in the two Canvas courses:
    • General Safety, which is relatively low-level course aimed at any student participating in hardware-based labs, projects, or team activities, and,
    • Shop Safety, which is a more advanced course intended for students who will be doing fabrication (cutting, machining, forming, joining, etc.)
  • The courses provide a central location for students to obtain this training and store their certificates of completion.
  • These courses provide a platform for lab instructors, project advisors and team advisors to be able to easily and conveniently assign safety training videos to their students, and for students to access their completion certificates so that they can provide them to all their professors and advisors without having to duplicate effort.

List of Video Course Titles

The video courses are accessible through the Canvas Courses, or directly from the University EHS student training web page:
