H漫画

H漫画 industrial engineering students have been having a great year. Over 30 engineering students represented H漫画 at the IIE Annual Student Conference. The national conference was held from January 23-25, 2014, at Ryerson University. 聽

Dal industrial engineering students competed in all four competitions offered: theoretical (written examination), technical paper, case study, and simulation competitions. A solid performance by H漫画 delegates earned first place in both the technical paper and theoretical competitions.

Industrial engineering professor, John Blake, accompanied the students to the conference. 鈥淲e have always believed that our students are amongst the brightest, most capable, and most accomplished in Canada. It鈥檚 gratifying to see our opinions confirmed through the results of a national competition,鈥� says Blake. 聽

Eldon Gunn also a professor of industrial engineering echoes those sentiments. 鈥淚f you can get bright students, give them exposure to good ideas and turn them loose, good things will happen.鈥�

In addition, the delegation was presented with the coveted Golden I trophy. The trophy is awarded to the delegation that holds a strong placement in the competitions, and also displays spirit and dedication towards individual and team growth.

Team members, Jillian Withers and Kevin Conrad were both thrilled with how well the group performed. 鈥淭here was so much energy and excitement when we arrived at the conference. Everyone was serious about winning, and super competitive. It was an awesome experience, and one we won鈥檛 forget,鈥� said Conrad.

Next year's IIE Annual Student Conference is being hosted by聽脡cole de Technologie Sup茅rieure in Montreal in which H漫画 University will be defending their Golden I trophy title.

The team鈥檚 sponsors included: Dr. Richard Florizone, President H漫画 University, Josh Leon, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Industrial Engineering, H漫画 Student Union, H漫画 Undergraduate Engineering Society, Wilsons, Engineering Nova Scotia, and Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. 聽
