IMMERSIVE ONLINE- LEARNING APPROACH
The Fall brought a new semester of adapting to distanced learning that Assistant Professor, Civil & Resource Engineering, Dr. Kyle Tousignant faced head-on. The goal was to make classes like the in-person experience with a combination of engaging videography for labs and PowerPoints with chalkboard-like notes from Dr. Tousignant.
CELEBRATING BLACK ENGINEERS A new site focusing on the community of Dalhousie's Black Engineers has been launched. The page showcases profiles of Black Engineers, as inspiration for prospective students, and a means of building a network among current students and alumni. The site also provides resources, scholarships, and opportunities available to black students and prospective students. We hope to grow the list of profiles so if you're interested in participating, email merilyn@dal.ca.
