RENOWNED SPIRIT, UNRIVALED EXCELLENCE: THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE APSC 200/293: Nurturing critical thinking The vast majority of Canadians enjoy all the amenities of a first-world lifestyle, but for many northern communities the comforts we take for granted, such as reliable electricity, comfortable homes, and indoor plumbing, simply don’t exist. A second-year course that features a project on designing solutions for northern Canada is giving students more than technical training—it’s challenging them to think creatively about these kinds of real-world issues and constraints, and to work collaboratively to solve them.
A student tests out a prototype for an APSC 200 design challenge
The Tea Room, located in Beamish-Munro Hall, is entirely student run, and thanks to an ambitious recycling and composting program, creates zero waste.
The APSC 200/293 course is a natural extension of APSC 100, introduced in 1997 as a mandatory course to help students develop creative and openended problem-solving skills through a team design project. Created as part of the Faculty initiative to implement a fouryear Engineering Design & Professional Practice component in all programs, the APSC curriculum aims to provide students with the professional skills they need to succeed after graduation. “Technical skills are critical, but they are only a part of what makes an engineer,” says Professor David Strong, the NSERC Chair in Design Engineering and one of the creators of the APSC program. “If we want our engineers to thrive, we need to build on those skills with creative, critical thinking, using problems and
environments that exist in the real world.” Twice-weekly lectures provide “just in time” information for interactive workshops that are directly related to team projects. Throughout the process, students learn and begin to apply various approaches to their project using creative thinking, design engineering, and shared expertise. They report on their progress on a regular basis and receive feedback on both technical and communication elements, allowing them to build vital communications and professional skills. This year’s project involves defining and providing engineering solutions for a northern community, such as energy generation, storage, modular home development or heating, plumbing, and ventilation. Teams were instructed to choose a community without year-round roads and with a significantly harsh climate. These constraints bring added—and very real—complexities to design. “It’s that much harder to design products or systems when you are working in bitter cold that can embrittle materials and stiffen lubricants,” says Strong. “And a lack of sunlight, which is a reality of life in the north, impacts opportunities such as photovoltaic energy generation and solar heating, just as a lack of year-round roads constrains shipments of supplies. We want students to think beyond the high-tech solution, to really focus on the process of problem identification and to generate ideas that are best suited to the needs and capabilities of the community.” Throughout the course, students gain experience working in both a multidisciplinary and discipline-specific environment. “The individuals within the teams need to learn how to work together for mutual benefit,” Strong says. “Engineering design is increasingly an integrated field, with systems that require expertise in many disciplines.” Strong notes that the course also fulfills many of the learning outcomes required by new Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements. “This professional spine is now seen as a core competency for engineers who need to be able to adapt to rapidly changing environments. The APSC curriculum gives our students the critical skills they need to succeed in the global workforce.”

Nicol Hall turns one hundred Completed in 1912, Nicol Hall houses various Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science departments. It is named after William Nicol, Queen’s first professor of Metallurgy and Mining, and also the person who donated the funds for the building’s construction. Originally a student at Queen’s, William Nicol returned to Queen’s in 1896 as a Professor of Mineralogy. He was known as a strict disciplinarian in the classroom but was also known to provide financial support to students in need. Nicol was a great collector of mineral samples and donated them to Queen’s, where they are still displayed today as part of the Miller Museum of Geology. His generous donation of $40,000 to the University resulted in the building of Nicol Hall. He is considered one of the founders of Queen’s Engineering.
Just the facts William Nicol was inspired
l
to study at Queen’s at a lecture given by Nathan Dupuis—although he claimed that it was not so much the words that Dupuis spoke but rather his curiosity about the oxyhydrogen flame in a lantern in the room that was used to project pictures.
The cost to build Nicol Hall
l
was $70,000—the difference was covered mostly by alumni.
During the First World War, the
l
attic of Nicol Hall was used as an army barracks.

If you ever see a good specimen in a private collection, try to get the
owner to present it to the university. If he won’t do this, try to buy it. If he won’t sell it, steal it.

THE FRONTIERS OF ENGINEERING INNOVATION: RESEARCH AND GRADUATE STUDIES Rob Knobel
Queen’s is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities—a place many of Canada’s most outstanding researchers call home. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science currently has more than 400 highly motivated graduate students of exceptional ability from around the world. We are proud to be home to these world leading researchers. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen’s University contributes to the Canadian engineering and scientific expertise through its own basic and applied research, and through collaborative work with others. RESEARCH CENTRES
A dog’s nose is an amazing thing. With the ability to smell chemicals in parts per billion concentration, dogs are often recruited to sniff out potential airport threats, drugs, earthquake victims, and even bedbugs. But they are also easily distracted and can’t always withstand harsh environments—which means, in an increasingly sophisticated world of terrorism and drug smuggling, that we can’t always rely on man’s best friend.

Some of his work involves chemical sensing with graphene, a form of carbon a single atom thick with amazing strength and excellent electrical properties, making it ideal for next generation sensors. A drumhead made with graphene will vibrate like a macroscopic drum, but it is so light that even a single molecule absorbed on its surface will change that vibration. Graphene is also quite easy to produce for research, and through Knobel’s research, may allow for exceptionally accurate measurements of chemicals, a feat that, in the case of chemical sensing—or in airport security—can be critical to national security. Knobel was awarded funding for his work from The Way Memorial Trust, established through a bequest to Queen’s to support research in both the Faculty of
Dr. Rob Knobel
Engineering and Applied Science and the Faculty of Health Sciences. Recipients are faculty members chosen based on their record of accomplishment, integrity, and strong sense of dedication to their work. Knobel says that while nanoscale research and quantum mechanics may seem far removed from applied technologies, it is this work that allows us to develop the tools required in many fields, including security, sensing devices, and transistor technology. “My interest is in developing a new understanding of the transition from the classical to the quantum environment, but for a broader purpose,” he says. “By understanding the limits due to quantum mechanics, and being able to measure phenomena that exist at these limits, we can build tools that are more accurate and better able to respond to real-world problems.”
Scott Yam
NAMED CHAIRS AND PROFESSORSHIPS NAME
Knobel, a Queen’s graduate who has studied high temperature superconductors and magnetic semiconductors, researches nano mechanics and electronics, using temperatures close to absolute zero to better understand their behavior and push their limits in a pure environment. He refers to his work as being within the “delicate boundary between pure discovery and applied science.”
“When you make a vibrating membrane, like a drum, smaller and colder, eventually you reach the point where it won’t vibrate like a bigger drum—the vibrations become quantized like the energy levels of an atom,” he says. “Quantum mechanics ultimately limits both how much the drum moves and how precisely we can measure it. At colder temperatures we are probing these limits to better understand how we can improve sensors in real-world situations.”

Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Yam continues to contribute to this critical tool as well as many other discoveries through research in optical networks and by mentoring graduate students in the constantly changing world of communications. Yam’s research focuses on three major areas: signal processing for long distance communications, high speed data transmissions in local area networks, and optical sensors. Much of his work revolves around making systems more robust and efficient so that they can continue to meet and exceed the demands of an informationhungry world. At the same time, he is investigating how the same technology can be applied to environmental and infrastructure monitoring. As data continues to be shared over higher and higher speeds, the quality of the transmission becomes a challenge.
Yam and his colleagues are exploring new ways to use optical technology to provide quality and ultra-fast transmissions in a cost-effective way, both for short and long distances. Other work involves sensitizing fibre-based sensors that can pick up contaminants on the order of parts per million—important for containment detection in hazardous environments. Yam also heads up the Next Generation Optical Networks training program, which focuses on developing both technical and professional skills in graduate students. He says that it is this type of work that makes his career so rewarding. “I work with leading researchers, and have incredible opportunities to work with industry and to develop national and international collaborations,” he says. “Best of all, I get to see my own graduate trainees develop as engineers, scientists, and balanced individuals who challenge me to push the envelope and boundaries every day.”

CHAIR’S MESSAGE
For more information, visit www.inspiring.engineering.queensu.ca
We can’t be great on our own. Twenty years ago if you had asked someone about the role of an engineer, they might have told you that engineers build bridges. In the last decade, the world realized new possibilities. As natural problem-solvers, engineers are also great CEOs and policymakers, entrepreneurs, and researchers. And now the paradigm is shifting again. In today’s complex world, there are no longer engineering leaders or business leaders or communication leaders. There are only change-leaders, and changeleaders don’t just start companies—they transform them in ways never before imagined.
DEAN’S MESSAGE
What better foundation for greatness? Every engineering school in North America has a vision of leadership. But our pathway to the finish line, and the kind of leaders we ultimately deliver, are uniquely Queen’s.

INNOVATION PROGRAM Today’s engineers are working in the realm of business, economics, and policy. And today’s business grads are increasingly looking to technological innovation as a launch pad for the knowledge economy’s growth. Queen’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Business are collaborating to create the Innovation Initiative to develop the innovators who will fuel the success of technology-driven companies, provide direct solutions for corporate challenges, and deliver incubation for start-ups.
Queen’s Engineering is known for helping students grow as leaders within the community beyond the classroom. Competitive design teams, outreach programs, conferences, clubs, and student-led campus businesses all bring distinction to the university and provide invaluable teamwork, leadership, project planning, design, marketing, and communication skills. Your investment will support Queen’s competitive design teams, like the Baja SAE Team and the Formula SAE Team. We will invest in student outreach efforts, including Science Quest summer camp, FIRST Robotics, and Queen’s Engineers Without Borders. Campaign gifts will also help establish the Queen’s Engineering Exchange and Internship Fund to provide Queen’s engineers with the financial support they need to study and learn abroad.
The Shell Experiential Learning Fund
ABORIGINAL ACCESS TO ENGINEERING PROGRAM Canada’s Aboriginal communities are increasingly involved in the management and stewardship of natural resources sectors, including mining, forestry, oil and gas, and water. Yet Aboriginal engineers account for fewer than 1% of the country’s practicing professional engineers. Queen’s Engineering is launching the Aboriginal Access to Engineering Program to inspire young Aboriginal men and women to develop an interest in math and science, promote engineering as a post-secondary field of study, and help Aboriginal students succeed in undergraduate engineering programs at Queen’s.
diverse skill sets by investing $220,000 in the Inspiring Greatness campaign. The Shell Experiential Learning Fund (SELF) was created to help support student projects related to the oil and gas industry. Students eligible to apply must be enrolled in engineering, geological sciences, and business. SELF supports initiatives such as student clubs, projects, field trips, and attendance at industryspecific conferences and workshops.
Bob Burnside: A lifetime of giving Bob Burnside was mulling over a list of Queen’s donation opportunities when his wife, Doris, hit the nail on the head. “She said, ‘Bob, how could you give to anything other than engineering?’” laughs the 1956 Chemical Engineering grad and retired Vice President of Imperial Oil.
SELF builds on the Queen’s Technology Engineering and Management (TEAM) fund, another program sponsored by Shell. TEAM pairs fourth-year arts, science, engineering, law, and business students to solve real-world industry challenges by working on projects for industrial clients.
In the nearly 60 years since graduating, Burnside has remained a committed Queen’s engineer, organizing class reunions, chairing the Engineering Advisory Council, and serving as President of the Alumni Association in 1986-87. It almost went without saying that his leadership gift would benefit Queen’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
Bob Burnside, Sc’56, and his late wife Doris
Bob and Doris Burnside donated $1 million to help launch the Innovation Program, an important collaboration between Queen’s Engineering and Queen’s School of Business. Focused on teaching students the leadership and teamwork skills to bring innovative ideas, inventions, and products to market, the program will be taught by Faculty leaders working together with some of the world’s best innovators, policymakers, and legal and business strategists. “It’s a worthy concept,” says Burnside. “The world’s problems don’t come the way universities are typically organized. Students better learn how to work together. Leadership is important.” During 32 years with Imperial Oil, working on such major projects as building a world class chemical company called Esso Chemical Canada, Burnside saw clearly how a blend of engineering and business could yield “fantastic results.” In fact, he used some of those results, in the form of Imperial Oil shares, to provide the capital for his campaign donation. His gift of shares has other benefits, too; donations of publicly-listed stocks and securities are not subject to capital gains tax. “I had a successful career and it all started as a Queen’s engineering graduate. This is my way to pay back.”
David Schneuker, 4th Year Mechanical Engineering student, with Michele Harradence, Sc’91, in Beamish-Munro Hall
There’s a myth at Queen’s Engineering that Michele Harradence, Sc’91, is determined to bust. “Half of the grads Shell hires are mechanical engineers, but students repeatedly tell us that Shell Canada only hires chemical and geological engineers,” says Harradence, newly appointed as General Manager of Shell’s Sarnia manufacturing centre, a long time leader in Shell’s Campus Ambassador Team for Queen’s, and a 1991 Queen’s Mechanical Engineering grad. In fact, she says, there are “a multitude of opportunities in the energy business.” In 2012, Shell took a bold step towards promoting the value of students with

“Queen’s grads are already strong teamplayers. We wanted to take advantage of that,” explains John Courtright, Law’76, Artsci’77, Shell’s Associate General Counsel and Campus Ambassador to Queen’s. “We want to give students an opportunity to learn in a way that’s closer to real life, to have that in-themoment experience of working with others from a diversity of backgrounds.” SELF has already attracted strong student interest. The first grants will be awarded this winter, with four additional granting cycles occurring over the next three years. The simple reality, says Harradence, “is you can’t get through the engineering program without learning how to work collaboratively with others. It was the real differentiator for me as a Queen’s grad.” ANNUAL REPORT 2011/12 15
I N S P I R I N G G R E AT N E S S C A M PA I G N P R I O R I T I E S Inspiring Teaching and Research: $18 million
Exceptional learning experiences demand exceptional professors—teachers and researchers who can apply their expertise in fields like energy, health, mineral resources, and the environment to ignite the imagination and inspire students to achieve greatness. With your support, we will launch three new centres of research excellence in areas of existing strength and promise: the Centre for Mineral Resources; the Centre for Water, Environment and Health; and the Queen’s Energy Institute. Within each centre, your investment will help attract a high-profile scholar and endow a research and innovation fund to jumpstart new research, support publications and participation in conferences, and provide critical funding for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Inspiring Spaces: $45 million

But even the most innovative experiences pale when they are spread across aging buildings designed for far fewer students and built at a time when many of today’s fields of study didn’t even exist. Your investment will help build the Centre for Innovation in Global Engineering, a 70,000 square-foot research and teaching space immediately adjacent to Beamish-Munro Hall. Featuring interdisciplinary research space and flexible laboratories and design studios, the centre will accelerate innovative programming and research across the disciplines; attract the best students and faculty; and deliver cutting-edge experiences to meet the changing role of engineers tomorrow.
The RBC Queen’s University Water Initiative
The Centre for Innovation in Global Engineering
Inspiring greatness is something Gordon Nixon knows plenty about as a Queen’s grad and the President and CEO of one of Canada’s largest banks. It’s also his goal for RBC’s $2 million donation to create the RBC Queen’s University Water Initiative.
Convergence. That in a nutshell is how award-winning architect Jack Diamond describes the new Queen’s Centre for Innovation in Global Engineering. “Queen’s Engineering is a series of buildings built independently and without coordination,” says the principal at Canada’s Diamond Schmitt Architects and the visionary behind Queen’s School of Business Goodes Hall expansion and Queen’s Medical School Building. “The challenge we set ourselves was how to connect all those pieces and create a coherent, integrated space.”
Aimed at raising awareness and inspiring solutions to the impact of industrial development and agriculture on watershed health and water supplies, the Water Initiative is a cornerstone of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science plans to launch new centres of excellence and attract thought leaders in areas of existing strength and promise.
Principal Woolf at the RBC Queen’s University Water Initiative launch
Queen’s Engineering has a vision to provide a distinctive learning experience at the frontiers of engineering innovation.
“We’re proud to support this new initiative that will bring together the brightest minds to tackle some of the most serious water issues facing our country,” says Nixon. “Our $2 million grant is one of the largest commitments we have made under the RBC Blue Water Project and is a testament to our confidence in Queen’s University.” RBC’s campaign donation will help develop a groundwater field school at Queen’s 135-acre Kennedy Field Station, part of the Salmon River Watershed. A new watershed assessment course for students in programs from Engineering and Environmental Studies, to Geography and Policy Studies will include hands-on examinations of watershed quality and flow, its impact on local communities, and the regulations that govern it. The fund will also support a watershed speakers series; the E-Water Project to collect real-time data from the Salmon River Watershed; and a Student-Industry Partnership Program that brings together engineering, business, science, and law students as watershed consultants to industry clients. “We’ve been talking about this kind of multidisciplinary training and research for years,” says Civil Engineering Professor and initiative lead Dr. Kent Novakowski. “We’re fostering a culture of water stewardship that will impact our communities and our planet for generations to come.”
Artist’s rendering of the Centre for Innovation in Global Engineering as seen from Union Street
Diamond has done just that with his bold plans for the four-storey, 70,000 square-foot research and teaching building to be built immediately adjacent to Beamish-Munro Hall. The Centre for Innovation in Global Engineering will feature new laboratories and design studios for teaching at the undergraduate level and interdisciplinary research space where researchers and graduate students can come together to support initiatives in engineering design and innovation in bioengineering. The building’s showpiece will be a two-storey glass entranceway projecting over Union Street that welcomes students and visitors. “It’s an engineering feat, and our literal and virtual front door,” explains Brian Surgenor, Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (Research, Graduate Studies, External Affairs). Informal gathering spaces throughout the centre will give further character to the space that Diamond hopes will inspire students to stay long after classes have ended. “A chance encounter over coffee, natural light, and comfortable chairs where you can curl up and read—these informal contacts are as important as formal teaching sessions,” he says. Diamond calls the building “an agent of change”—a catalyst for more effective connections between students, faculty, and even alumni. Says Surgenor: “It’s Queen’s take on what you need to innovate in the global community.” U.S.-based alumni interested in making a gift to the Faculty of Engineering should contact Director of Development Jane McMillan at 1-800-267-7837 or jane.mcmillan@queensu.ca

I N S P I R I N G G R E AT N E S S I N S P I R I N G A L U M N I Inspiring young alumni
Calling all young alumni Martha van Berkel (Garriock), Sc’00, has this challenge for other young Queen’s engineering alumni: “Prove that you believe in your school.” van Berkel did just that this year with a leadership gift to the Innovation Program, a priority of the Campaign for Queen’s Engineering. The Senior Manager at Cisco made the donation to help ensure Queen’s curricula remains reflective of today’s business needs and focused on developing innovative leaders. She is also the founding Chair for Queen’s Young Engineering Alumni (QYea!), established in 2011 to help new grads engage in professional development and networking opportunities, reconnect with old classmates, and reignite their passion for Queen’s.
An inspiring class challenge!
Five years after graduating, the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Class of ’82 had raised $7,000 for their alma mater. Twenty-five years after that, their two class funds topped $300,000—among the largest cumulative class gifts ever made to Queen’s Engineering. “The Science ’82 Fund began with the goal of making a class gift to Queen’s at our fifth reunion in 1987,” explains Class President Don MacDiarmid. “The idea then as now is to aggregate gifts from many Science ’82 graduates into a more meaningful class donation and to nurture a continuing Science ’82 legacy.” The Science ’82 Fund, now reconstituted as an endowment, provides annual income to enrich the quality of undergraduate engineering education at Queen’s through the purchase of lab equipment and the support of initiatives like Queen’s solar car, Science Quest, and student conference travel. In 2007, Science ‘82 launched a second endowment for student awards.
She hopes her gifts of time and money inspire other young alumni to play a role in the future of Queen’s Engineering. “You’ll receive back way more than you give,” she says. “My contributions are me saying, ‘I believe in this school, and I’m willing to put my foot forward to help keep Queen’s among the best engineering schools in Canada, somewhere I’m proud to have a degree from.’”
“We had a really fantastic time when we were at Queen’s,” says Class Reunion Co-ordinator Catherine Ella, Sc’82. “We want to ensure other students benefit from the same excellence and traditions.” Sue Lounsbury, Sc’82, and a member of Queen’s University Council, hopes the Class of ’82 will be a role model for future Queen’s Engineering classes. “This is about getting more people to give, not getting the same people to give more.” Sc’82 standing proud!

Giving back year after year Eleven years, a cross-country move, and careers as both an engineer and investment advisor have only strengthened Jeff Mackie’s appreciation for his Queen’s education. “The fundamentals—how to think, question, and learn—stick with you no matter what you do in life,” says the 2001 Applied Science grad and Associate Portfolio Manager at Macquarie Private Wealth in Calgary. “I value my Queen’s education above most everything else.” Every year since 2002, Mackie has shown his gratitude with a gift to the Faculty’s Dean’s Excellence Fund. “The education I received wasn’t free. It’s my responsibility to give back.” Like many alumni donors, his gifts started small and increased as his career advanced and financial security grew. Over 10 years, Mackie’s total contributions have topped $25,000. “As Queen’s grads, we share a common bond. I’d like to see more alumni join with me in giving back to Queen’s.”
