Alumna helps drive startup success in automotive innovation

Alumna Mackenzie Habash (BSc. Hons 2021) credits the critical thinking skills she gained as an economics major for her career success.

“I found my honours economics degree was a great catalyst to look at a problem wholistically to try and solve it,” says Habash.

“It gave me the skills to have good financial acumen to look at a problem and be able to come up with a multitude of solutions – whether it be technical or business solutions.”

MSc candidate helps monitor water quality in connecting channels of the Great Lakes Basin

Dennis Otieno, an MSc candidate from the Lake Victoria basin in Kenya, is gaining hands-on experience with the Laurentian Great Lakes by contributing to water quality monitoring in the Detroit River, a connecting channel of the Great Lakes.

The project is part of the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) connecting channels monitoring program. Sampling sites along the connecting channels of the Great Lakes have been established and are continually monitored to evaluate the year-round distribution of nutrients and suspended sediments transported between lakes.

Students dive into robotics and research at RAEON

A group of high school students took a deeper look at the mechanics of underwater gliders during a visit to RAEON (Real-Time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network) earlier this month, gaining hands-on experience with the high-tech devices used to monitor the Great Lakes ecosystems.

About 21 students from Assumption College Catholic High School’s Technological Design (Robotics) class, grades 10 to 12, visited RAEON to learn about what they do, how the autonomous gliders work, and the mechanics behind them.
