The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 celebrated 125 years of engineering excellence on Friday, March 29, with a special event honouring 125 alumni for their life and career achievements.

The event, the first of its kind for engineering alumni, highlighted the diverse ways that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s engineers demonstrate leadership through contributions to society.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œLast fall, we put out a call to ask who is engineering a better world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dean Kevin Deluzio (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션™88) said at the event. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œWe were overwhelmed by the nominations. Tonight, we celebrate your success as engineers, scientists, business leaders, doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs. And we take some pride in the role that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science had in your formation.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Award recipients included Mac Evans (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션™64, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션™14 Law), the former president of the Canadian Space Agency, and Mary Ann Turcke (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션™88, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션™97), the COO of the National Football League.

Over 275 people attended the gala, which also included student leadership awards, as well as project displays and opportunities for students and alumni to connect. Award winners included six Order of Canada recipients and 15 Canadian Academy of Engineering Fellows. One award winner expressed that she was 카지노 게임 컬렉션œso inspired by my fellow award recipients and gratified to see the tradition of excellence in engineering embodied in the talented students we chatted with over the course of the weekend.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has grown and changed significantly from its beginnings at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s as the School of Mining and Agriculture in 1893. One of the top engineering schools in the country, the faculty offers 10 dynamic engineering programs, and recently introduced Ingenuity Labs, a new interdisciplinary engineering research initiative focused on the design and use of intelligent systems and robotic machines. Last year, over 6,300 students applied for 730 first-year positions.

The faculty also offers a number of outreach programs, such as the Aboriginal Access to Engineering program, which has engaged over 20,000 Indigenous youth, and the Tech 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜n Tinker trailer, a mobile makerspace that travels to schools and events in the region to provide experiential learning for elementary students.

During the event, Dean Deluzio noted that many alumni have said how much their time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s has shaped who they카지노 게임 컬렉션™ve become, both personally and professionally.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œOur program engenders teamwork and strong bonds among classmates,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he said. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œOur network of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s engineers supports students on campus, but also in life and work long after graduation. You are  exceptional role models for our next generations of leaders and groundbreakers, and we thank you for engineering a better world.카지노 게임 컬렉션
