In the not-so-distant future anyone on campus may be able to stroll over to the university’s new engineering building and have a bobble-head made of themselves in less than two hours.
The concept was floated Friday by a group of fourth-year students in Industrial, Manufacturing and Systems engineering who were presenting their capstone projects in the lecture hall of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.
The transition from high school to university is rarely an easy one, but the process was a whole lot smoother for Joanne Yu thanks to some upper-year students who always had her back.
“There was always someone there who I could ask questions and get good answers,” said Yu, who is just wrapping up her first year in chemistry.
Five students who brought home some of the top awards at a recent undergraduate chemistry conference say they couldn’t have done it if they didn’t study in such a tremendously supportive environment.
There’s often an expectation that when people move here from another nation they should immerse themselves in Canadian culture, but maintaining a close connection to their home country makes them better immigrants, according to a recent PhD graduate.

Entire communities will be able to generate their own energy and will do so in the not-so-distant future with a much greater reliance on such renewable sources as wind, solar and biomass, according to Rupp Carriveau.
