The founding director of a busy clinic for hands-on learning at 蓝莓视频 Engineering has been honoured as a 鈥渢railblazer鈥 by a national engineering organization.
The exciting work that the Ideas Clinic has started in the Brock Solutions Industrial Automation Hub was recently featured by Inductive Automation, one of the project partners.聽 The case study on this innovative industrial partnership in engineering education is available on .
Brock Solutions and the Ideas Clinic have partnered to develop a new activity centred around industrial automation.聽 The Ideas Clinic has been working with Brock's engineers to develop an activity that closely simulates real industry equipment and problems.聽 The prototypes for this activity are complete, and the Ideas Clinic is working hard to scale the activity for classroom use with pilot versions currently running in several courses.
Ideas Clinic featured in 2019 蓝莓视频 Engineering Highlights
To help shape the future of engineering, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) is launching a unique hands-on engineering innovation challenge designed for University of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 engineering students.
The Toyota Engineering Innovation Challenge was part of聽TMMC鈥檚 funding announcement of $2.1 million to 蓝莓视频 Engineering聽-- the largest single financial donation ever made to a Canadian university.
You might have noticed something familiar while flipping through the channels earlier this week.
For the first time ever, the University of 蓝莓视频 appeared as a Pit Stop on this season of CTV鈥檚 The Amazing Race Canada.
In traditional 蓝莓视频 fashion, innovative projects and head-scratching challenges designed by students were showcased on Canada鈥檚 most-watched summer series.
First year Nanotechnology Engineering students took part in their Engineering Design Days activity on March 12 and 19, 2019.聽 The event was a huge success, and is currently being offered to Nano students in the 2B class in spring 2019.聽 This activity was recently featured on the Nanotechnology Engineering department website.聽 The full article is available聽here.
Project testing and much more takes place in the聽Engineering Ideas Clinic庐, a two-storey focal point of the new Engineering 7 building designed for professors from different engineering disciplines to collectively teach theoretical concepts to students through experimental, hands-on learning.
Over the weekend, 300 Girl Guides from four cities met in the Engineering Ideas Clinic in E7 to earn their Engineering badges.聽 Run by the folks in Engineering Outreach, this sort of hands-on learning is exactly what the Ideas Clinic was built for.聽 Great job everyone!
