After graduating from high school, he enrolled as a part time student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, with his tuition paid for in part by his working sisters. He eventually enrolled full time and completed his degree in [[Engineering Physics]] in 1941. Following his graduation, Etkin joined the University of Toronto Department of Civil Engineering (which then housed the fledgling aeronautics researchers) as a graduate student and lecturer, finishing his Master's degree in 1943.<ref name=stoffman/><ref name=white/> | After graduating from high school, he enrolled as a part time student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, with his tuition paid for in part by his working sisters.

When the Department of Aeronautics was created in 1946, Etkin was appointed as one of its first two faculty members (along with [[T.R. Loudon]]). He helped found the [[University of Toronto Institute of Aerophysics]] (later renamed University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies, UTIAS) along with [[Gordon Patterson]] in 1949.<ref name=white/> | When the Department of Aeronautics was created in 1946, Etkin was appointed as one of its first two faculty members (along with [[T.R.

Etkin was appointed [[Dean of Engineering]] in 1973, replacing [[James Ham]] (who would later become President of the University of Toronto). As Dean, Etkin oversaw curriculum changes including the transformation of [[Geological Engineering]] into [[Geological Engineering and Applied Earth Science]] (later [[Mineral Engineering]]) and the establishment of a graduate program in [[Environmental Engineering]].<ref name=white/> | Etkin was appointed [[Dean of Engineering]] in 1973, replacing [[James Ham]] (who would later become President of the University of Toronto).
