Student Achievements
¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Engineering students make the most of opportunities to take the knowledge they learn in their classes and co-op placements and apply it to real-world challenges.
Participants in student teams like the U of A Eco-Car, for example, have designed and built experimental vehicles and competed globally against universities from all over the world. Our ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥Sat student team designed and built ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥'s first satellite, which was launched in 2017.
In academics, community contributions, and athletics, U¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ engineering students are exceptional. In 2017-18, 19 engineering student-athletes were named Academic All Canadians, maintaining stellar grades and competing at the varsity level.
Engineering students embrace the duty of engineers to make the world a better, safer place, and contribute through participation in groups like Engineers Without Borders, Bridges to Prosperity and Engage North, and through many charitable events organized by the Engineering Students' Society.
