As usual, the incredible diversity and depth of engineering talent in Vancouver and within our alumni network was evident in the networking session – from 3D bioprinting to quantum computing and even one attendee who worked on Voyager.

Recipients of the Eric Roenitz Memorial Award for a project that illustrates a high level of ingenuity was awarded to L to R: Andrew Dworschak, Jonah Killam, Rahat Dhande, Jacob Budzis, Ryan Cotsakis, Justin Kang
Recipients of the Edward G. Auld Prize for the graduating project that most strongly demonstrates academic excellence was awarded to L to R: Curtis Huebner, Cheng Xie, Anmol Jawandha, Koosha Rezaiezadeh
Recipients of the Roy Nodwell Prize for the senior year project that demonstrates a high professional standard, shows evidence of original contribution, and has industrial relevance was awarded to Jacob Budzis (also a recipient of the Eric Roenitz award above), Yuqing Du, and Cinnie Hsiung.
A special thank you to Dr. Suzanne Gildert and Connor Shannon from Sanctuary.ai, for sharing their vision of building machines like us – we will all be watching closely to see how their vision develops!
