Our Grants lead to Success
Our grants assist our young engineers and engineering students, to
develop practical skills. Here is one of our sucess stories.
The Space Elevator is a system based on a super-strong ribbon going from
the surface of the Earth to a point beyond geosynchronous orbit. Vehicles
climb the ribbon powered by a beam of energy projected from the surface of the
Earth.
A multidisciplinary team from the University of Saskatchewan wins first place in
NASA's 2010 space elevator competition.
IEEE McNaughton Centres
The IEEE Canadian Foundation provides grants to establish and upgrade
IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centres in 33 Canadian Universities and
Colleges across Canada. These centres enhance the learning experience of
our engineering students.
