support
the
model

experiential

that
is
one

the
hallmarks
of
ݮƵ

Canada’s

"ݮƵ

is
recognized
for
its
culture
of
initiative
and
enterprise,”
said
Terry

a
University

ݮƵ

“We
are
excited
to
invest
in
programs
that
provide
students
with
a
dynamic
learning
environment.
We
believe
our
investment
will
help
foster
today’s
students
into
tomorrow’s
leaders
who
will
help
meet
rising
energy
demands
responsibly
and
build
a
new
energy
future.
“The
student
experience
at
ݮƵ

what
defines
us,”
said
Pearl

Dean
of
ݮƵ
Engineering.
“Shell’s
significant
investment
in
our
students
and
Capstone

will
enable
an
exciting
diversity
of
project
development,
industrial
mentorship
and
experimental
prototyping,
as
well
as
essential
field
trips
and
award
incentives.
I
am
especially
pleased
with
their
commitment
to
engaging
women
in
the
essential
networking
and
mentoring
that’s
so
critical
in
our
field."
