ANNUAL REPORT:
Message from the Dean Welcome to our third Annual Report, celebrating an incredible year of growth and innovation. We have seen tremendous progress in our program development, in our research achievements, and in the development of our next generation of engineers. Our second annual Summer Innovation Initiative brought 40 students together with mentors over the summer to learn about entrepreneurship, corporate innovation, and change management from faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, and business experts. Our Innovation Initiative is unique in Canada and provides our students with vital collaborative opportunities for discovery and learning, as well as the opportunity to win up to $25,000 to launch their ideas. Many of our researchers have been recognized recently for their contributions to emerging and evolving technologies. Our links with industry complement these discoveries and provide an ideal environment for collaboration and growth. We’re thrilled that our Aboriginal Access to Engineering program continues to grow. This is an integral component of our commitment to supporting the academic, physical, spiritual and emotional needs of Aboriginal students, with the goal of increasing the number of Aboriginal engineers in Canada. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our alumni who have contributed to the Faculty over the past year with such energy and enthusiasm. To those of you who have volunteered your time, provided advice and contributed financially to help support the Faculty and its initiatives, thank you. We could not have accomplished what we did this year without you. The ongoing support of our alumni is critical to our success. We have much to be proud of, and much to look forward to.

RENOWNED SPIRIT, UNRIVALED EXCELLENCE: THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE
The Way Forward: Undergraduate Studies
Lynann Clapham, PhD, PEng, Associate Dean (Academic), Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, discusses where undergraduate studies are heading “We attracted three out of our four top applicants who visited,” Clapham says. “So it’s been a success.”
Undergraduate studies at Queen’s Engineering are at a gratifying stage, says Lynann Clapham, PhD, PEng, Associate Dean (Academic), Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. “We’ve solidified many of our strengths, and now we’re fine tuning. Our key areas relate to curriculum, recruitment, and support for students—so now we’re building up services around those strengths.”
A student success model to reinforce excellence
Student services are a third core strength at Queen’s Engineering—and they’re being expanded. “We get excellent students in the door with our solid recruitment strategies, so the next step is to make sure we support them,” Clapham explains.
Leading the way: Curriculum development
At Queen’s, implementation of the “professional spine”—the Engineering Design and Practice Sequence (EDPS)— is nearly complete. “Brian Frank, our Director of Program Development, has been working with a group of faculty to design the sequence,” says Clapham. With this in place, no matter which of 10 programs a student chooses, he or she will get a consistent experience through each of the four years in terms of teamwork, design, and exposure to engineering and professional requirements. This innovative program has been put in place over five years. “Now we’re finishing up with defining exactly what we want to see in the third year, including milestones and deliverables for the student project. Then we will review the whole package,” Clapham says. This work will take about another year, but the new curriculum is already showing results. “We’re hearing that students’ skill levels, their ability to just march in and integrate seamlessly into a team project, are much higher than four or five years ago.” With the EDPS, by the time students graduate they will have worked on at least four major engineering projects, learning about team-work, how to manage clients, how to give presentations and prepare interim reports, and many other hands-on skills. “This is all golden: when you go out to work for an employer, you have all the technical expertise, plus the professional skills, so you can hit the ground running,” says Clapham. Solid recruitment strategies yielding top students
Recruitment is another factor that sets undergraduate studies in engineering at Queen’s apart. “Recruiting has been getting stronger: over the past five years since I started in this role, we’ve 8 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
Lynann Clapham, PhD, PEng
gone from 3,200 to 4,600 undergraduate students ,” says Clapham. “We’ve really clarified the vision in terms of our key differentiators.” Going the extra mile is her team’s job, she emphasizes, and this supports recruitment. For example, students or parents who call the Faculty are able to talk directly to office staff. “Unlike at most engineering schools, we’re actually available—calls are put through to a real person, and we’ll set up all prospective students with a personalized agenda for touring engineering facilities, the campus, as well as talking to staff and students about our program.”
“

We’re hearing that students’ skill levels, their ability to just march
in and integrate seamlessly into a
team project, are much higher than four or five years ago.
— Lynann Clapham
The steady stream of top applicants joining Queen’s Engineering provide a strong student base for the Faculty, which is now refining its recruitment strategies. Going forward, the goal is to keep the base strong while continuing to attract exceptional students. In 2011, a “High Flyers” program was launched to recruit top students—those with high school averages of 99+ per cent. Twenty of these students from across the country were invited to visit Queen’s, and early offers were made in January, versus March.
Queen’s Engineering already has many programs to promote student success. Over the next year, the Faculty will be pulling all of the programs together under a comprehensive “Student Success Plan”. “We want to be able to say, ‘This is what our student success model is.’ We’re really ahead of the curve on this; other engineering schools aren’t doing it—yet,” she adds. Existing programs such as J-section, which helps students who have academic difficulties in fall term of first year, will be supplemented with new initiatives to form cohesive packages of services. Among the new services being introduced are an in-house mental health counsellor and “EngBounceBack”—a Learning Strategies Development program tailored to Engineering students, which provides coaching on topics such as effective study habits, time management skills, and dealing with stress. Degree flexibility is another concern for students. “We’re just starting to look at how to build more flexibility into the existing degree,” says Clapham, “and also allow more add-ons, such as certificate programs in sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship, or perhaps northern development.” In addition, a recently hired e-learning expert (see story next page) will help develop online and blended learning offerings; options for students to complete their Humanities requirements at Herstmonceux Castle in England will be explored; and further opportunities such as the Queen’s Summer Innovation Initiative (QSII), launched jointly in May 2012 by the School of Business and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences to let students pursue innovation and social or corporate entrepreneurship, will be offered.
Online Learning: Exploring new ways to deliver engineering education Post-secondary education is changing from the traditional model of spending four years on campus, attending lectures, and conducting field studies. An emerging trend over the past decade has students taking a mixture of traditional classes and online classes so that they experience the best each has to offer. Queen’s Engineering is moving with this trend and has recruited an Education Developer, Eric Tremblay, to inject some strategic flexibility into its programs, which will allow students to earn their degrees in different ways. Tremblay comes with a wealth of experience and education to help the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science remain at the forefront of engineering education in Canada. For 11 years, he has designed and developed undergraduate and graduate level online courses for the Royal Military College of Canada. And in an effort to fully understand the complexities of earning a degree online, he made a conscious decision to not only teach in this realm but also study in it, having been a student in over 20 online courses at the graduate level. “We’re currently in the golden age of technology-mediated learning,” he says. “The devices are great, the bandwidth is great, and the tools are great. So now the technological challenges are beginning to fade into the background and we have more time to focus on the important aspects, such as effective course design and useful interaction in the online space. This is a great benefit for both the student and instructor.”
“ ”
Eric Tremblay
As an example, Tremblay suggests a second-year course that’s offered online in the summer. This would help students alleviate scheduling conflicts during a particular semester or give students a second chance to pass a course if they were unsuccessful the first time. Summer online courses can be very flexible; they can accommodate fluctuating work, travel, and family responsibilities. Just a short time into his new role, Tremblay is excited about the possibilities
We’re currently in the golden age of technology-mediated learning. — Eric Tremblay
for course development. His aim is to find ways to offer more flexibility in existing programming that will enhance an already excellent engineering school.

Firm Footing World-class mobility research lab is up and running The Queen’s University Human Mobility Research Lab (HMRL), founded in 2012, has settled into its $1.5 million facility in Kingston’s Hotel Dieu Hospital. “We’re fully functional now,” confirms Kevin Deluzio, the lab’s principal investigator and a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen’s. The high-tech, 3,000-square-foot laboratory is geared toward developing new treatments for disorders such as arthritis. “HMRL’s scope and breadth make it among the top labs in the world,” says Deluzio. “Unlike first-generation labs designed to capture humans walking, our goal is to monitor people while they’re doing more demanding activities of everyday living—jogging, or going up and down stairs.” So far, the lab has completed nearly 1,000 data collection and event hours, and more than 300 subjects have participated in 12 projects, 8 of which focus on clinical research. Already, several clinical studies have emerged from the lab. A running
study into possible reasons why most runners don’t get knee osteoarthritis, published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, drew attention from Runners’ World and The New York Times.

The lab is a collaborative facility, a meeting point for disciplines
including medicine, engineering, health sciences, and information technology.
— Kevin Deluzio
The lab has also been attracting attention from top graduate students, industry collaborators, and, with its strong links to the Queen’s Human Mobility Research Centre and orthopedic surgery at Hotel Dieu, clinicians as well.
“The lab is a collaborative facility, a meeting point for disciplines including medicine, engineering, health sciences, and information technology,” Deluzio explains. These collaborations are important because they ensure that new knowledge can be translated into clinical applications. “Clinicians are starting to bring in questions and frame them in terms of research questions we can answer in the lab, and I expect that these collaborations will continue to grow as we go forward.” The HMRL was made possible through the generosity of the Donald McGeachy Fund for Human Motion Performance, as well as Queen’s supporters, Betty and Michael Dicketts. National and provincial agencies also provided funding.
Green Power! Research into biofuels from algae has huge environmental—and economic—potential Dr. Pascale Champagne, a leading researcher in environmental engineering, was awarded the Way Memorial Trust in August 2012. Champagne, an associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering who is cross-appointed to Chemical Engineering, specializes in alternative waste management and converting residual biomass to useful forms, such as bioproducts and bioenergy. The $10,000 awarded through the Way Memorial Trust, provided over two years, will be used to conduct preliminary research on using waste streams and recycled carbon dioxide to enhance bio-oil production from micro algae as a source of biofuel. “It’s an honour to be recognized as a researcher with a ‘record of accomplishment, integrity, and strong sense of dedication to their work,’” says Champagne, “and to be selected for a research project that was considered to be practical in approach and to have the potential for substantive benefits for the public at large.”
Her research team is using this seed funding to advance their work in the area of biofuels from algae. Several critical knowledge gaps exist, she adds, with respect to microalgal growth using waste streams to enhance bio-oil production, identification of metabolic pathways needed for long chain fatty acid synthesis in algae cultivated under conditions that maximize oil accumulation, and the effective extraction of bio-oil from algae. Champagne says scientifically creative work enabled by the Way Memorial Trust award will help to bridge these gaps, and includes:
sequestration and recycling through lifecycle analysis. “This extraction process will be unique in its ability to extract oil without the need to fully dry the algae,” Champagne explains. “And this research has the potential to address some technical inefficiencies that represent significant challenges to the development of economically-viable, large-scale applications in Canada.” Dr. Pascale Champagne

Inspiring Greatness: Investing in our leaders of tomorrow With Inspiring Greatness: The Campaign for Queen’s Engineering, we’re not only investing in one of Canada’s best engineering schools, we’re investing in a great leadership school. How we teach, what we teach, and where we teach will have an impact on developing more engaged students who are better prepared for life beyond Queen’s. The campaign’s four pillars—investment in programming, teaching and research, the student experience, and new and revitalized infrastructure—will be the key to this success. Central to the development of our future leaders is the Queen’s Innovation Commons, a 70,000-square-foot facility, featuring state of the art labs, teaching spaces, and design studios. This will be the permanent home of the Queen’s Innovation Connector, a joint program started between Business and Engineering, and now university-wide, that is giving students the tools they need to become successful entrepreneurs and innovators. Preparing them, in other words, for the leadership roles they will be increasingly called on to assume. As alumni and friends of Queen’s Engineering, many of you share my belief that this is the future of engineering. You’ve invested generously in our campaign, and I thank you. To those of you who have not yet had a chance to contribute, I ask you to reflect on the ways in which Queen’s Engineering has helped to shape your career and your success. This campaign and this new building are going to make a huge difference in ensuring Queen’s exceeds all expectations as one of the great engineering schools in the country. Thank you for your support. Mike Norris, Sc’75 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

QUEEN’S INNOVATION COMMONS:
CENTRE FOR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING
The Queen’s Innovation Commons will provide a lively and formal landscape for Engineering students to work alongside those from across disciplines and across the campus. Their collective goal: to innovate and bring into the world a whole new way of solving problems.
“If our employees see the value in this project, then we should support it as well.”
Robert Francki, Sc’86, Global Magaging Director, Project Delivery, Hatch Ltd.
Bert Wasmund, Sc’61, MSc’63, Executive Director, Hatch Ltd.
Over more than four decades at global engineering firm Hatch Ltd., Bert Wasmund, Sc’61, MSc’63, has enthusiastically hired many Queen’s engineers. Some, he says, landed on the company’s doorstep thanks to a scholarship they received at Queen’s.
made to match dollar for dollar every employee alumni donation with a gift from Hatch. “If our employees see the value in supporting this project, then we should support it as well.”
One of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science’s generous scholarship donors, Hatch has helped attract, recognize, and support more than 11 talented students since 2008. “Scholarships remain our prime focus,” says Wasmund, but in 2012 the company launched a program aimed at encouraging the 250 employees who are also Queen’s alumni to give in support of another important Faculty project.
The company’s first ever capital program commitment to Queen’s has generated a solid response in the first year, and Francki says he’s hoping for even greater support this year — and not just in the form of charitable gifts. “We need to reconnect companies like ours with the university. That means giving back financially, but also connecting more of our junior engineers with students to help them understand their career choices.”
“I wrote a letter inviting Queen’s alumni to join me in supporting the Queen’s Innovation Commons,” explains Robert Francki, Sc’86, Hatch’s Global Managing Director of Project Delivery. An offer was
Wasmund agrees. “The world is getting a lot tougher and more competitive. We need good students who can innovate and solve problems. Queen’s grads have always been really excellent at that.”
Science ‘88 is great!: An inspiring initiative The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Class of ’88 wants to start a new, longstanding tradition like . . . well, like the grease pole.
Sc’88 announces $1M pledge for Queen’s Innovation Commons and bursaries
14 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
In honour of their 25th anniversary in 2013, the class has pledged to raise a million dollars over five years in support of the Queen’s Innovation Commons and the student experience. Even bigger than a six-figure gift, though, they hope to inspire the classes that follow to do the same in honour of their milestone anniversary.
“A group of us got together to plan our 25th anniversary,” explains Mary Ann Turcke, Sc’88 (Civil), Executive Vice President of Field Operations with Bell Canada and a member of the Inspiring Greatness campaign cabinet. “Kamal Hassan, a fellow classmate, pointed out if 88 people from the Class of ’88 gave $88 dollars a month for five years, we’d have half a million bucks.” So began the Science ’88 is Great Campaign.

Location matters. That, and timing. “I wanted to do something for Queen’s, and then I saw the opportunity to support a new building right next to Dupuis Hall, where I had spent so many years studying chemical engineering,” says David Parkes, Sc’68, the retired founder and president of Doran Contractors Ltd. and Tamarack Homes, Ottawabased industrial and residential builderdevelopers. Together with his family— including sons Scott, Sc’92 (Civil); Steven, Sc’00 (Metallurgical); and Jeff, MPL’97 (Urban Planning)—Parkes made a major campaign gift in 2012-13 to support the new Queen’s Innovation Commons. “The timing was right for us.” Parkes credits Queen’s Engineering with setting him on the path to a successful career in the construction industry. He made his gift to help provide an environment that assures tomorrow’s students are equally well prepared to succeed and with “heartfelt appreciation” for what a great institution Queen’s has become. “Having spent four years off and on at a couple of
(story continued from previous page) The ambitious goal builds on a generous giving history that includes $100,000 in contributions last year alone. The class has a strong track record of supporting student engineering initiatives such as the Queen’s Fuel Cell Team, First Robotics, and Science Quest. Turcke says their latest pledge stays the course. “When you pull at the heartstrings of alumni, that’s what they remember — the student experiences. The building is the glue that

other universities, I can say that Queen’s students continue to be among the best in Canada and the industrialized world.” He also hopes his gift will inspire others to act. “Alumni have got to come forward and help Queen’s deal with the future of engineering. We’re all responsible for enabling kids to get the best education they can at the lowest cost.” A learning forum in the Queen’s Innovation Commons will bear the Parkes name in recognition of their generosity.
holds those experiences together.” Remembering her own years at Queen’s, Turcke says it’s definitely time to give back and encourage others to do the same. “What I really want to do is get to a million and then make sure the million dollar anniversary campaign becomes as imbedded in the Queen’s Engineering culture as the grease pole.”
Won over by a vision of engineering education Sue Riddell-Rose, Sc’86 (Geological), laughs when she remembers how she first got involved in the Inspiring Greatness campaign. “Campaign Chair Mike Norris asked me to join the campaign cabinet, and on his way out the door he asked, ‘How could you not be part of this?’ I realized he was right.” Mike Rose, Artsci’79 (Geology), and Riddell-Rose, have been strong Queen’s supporters and volunteers for many years. In 2012, they confirmed their latest investment in support of the Queen’s Innovation Commons. “One of the things I remember from Queen’s is how you were immediately part of a community,” says Sue, who parlayed her engineering degree into a leadership role as President and CEO of Calgary’s Perpetual Energy Inc. “When we look at the plans for this building, we see how we’re going to create even more places for conversation— not just engineering, but multidisciplinary discussions.” Designed by award-winning Canadian architect Jack Diamond, the Queen’s Innovation Commons will provide a setting for engineering students to innovate and solve problems alongside students in business, arts and science, medicine, and health sciences. The couple was won over by the forward-looking vision of engineering education that was so aligned with their views and experience. “We were very excited about an engineering education program built around how the real world tackles problems through collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship,” explains Mike, President and CEO of Tourmaline Oil Corporation. “Because of the Queen’s Innovation Commons,” adds Sue, “thousands of students will experience an entrepreneurial approach to engineering and building innovative solutions that has everyone saying, ‘Look at what Queen’s grads are doing in the world!’” ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 15
INSPIRING GREATNESS: THE CAMPAIGN FOR QUEEN’S ENGINEERING
An Inspiring Class Challenge
An invitation to inspire In 2012, Campaign Cabinet Member Barry Stewart, Sc’64, invited his classmates and all Queen’s Engineering classes to launch a class giving challenge in support of Inspiring Greatness: The Campaign for Queen’s Engineering. Barry proposed: “I will match a donation to Queen’s Engineering by every member of Science ’64 up to $5,000 per individual and up to $250,000 total.” The uptake from Sc’64 and other Queen’s Engineering classes has been tremendous! Classes have come up with creative and inspiring ways to issue their own class challenges. A number of classes presented cheques and made commitments to Dean Woodhouse at the 2013 Homecoming receptions, including: n Sc’58
presented a cheque for $281,515—half their goal for the ’58 Legacy Fund Campaign.
n Sc’68

ABORIGINAL ACCESS TO ENGINEERING
The Aboriginal Access to Engineering program at Queen’s is committed to increasing the number of Aboriginal engineers in Canada. By promoting math and science to elementary and high school students, supporting the efforts of their teachers, enabling access to post-secondary study, and ensuring young people have what it takes to succeed, we are encouraging more Aboriginal youth to become qualified engineers.
Education is key Peter Kenny, Sc’55, is convinced that his investment in Queen’s Aboriginal Access to Engineering (AAE) program was the right thing to do. Fresh from a conference on Aboriginal education and employment in Toronto, he’s full of data about the growing need to engage Aboriginal young people in education.
“In less than 10 years, Aboriginal children will represent 30% of the school-age population in Manitoba and Saskatchewan,” he says. “More are continuing in school, but not enough.” Research presented at the conference, coorganized by Don Drummond, former (story continued on next page)

Launched in 2012, the Queen’s Summer Innovation Institute (QSII) is part of the Queen’s Innovation Connector. QSII recently completed its second successful 16-week paid summer internship program.
QUEEN’S INNOVATION CONNECTOR
Canada’s ability to compete internationally will depend largely on our continuing ability to innovate within traditional and emerging sectors—Queen’s is responding to this need. Building on the strong links between the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Queen’s School of Business, Queen’s has developed an innovation program that is unique in Canada. The Queen’s Innovation Connector (QIC) is working with regional, national, and international partners, and is challenging students, faculty, and communities to develop and take innovative ideas and products to market, and to launch social initiatives for the benefit of our community, our university, and the world.
From May to August, 40 students from across Queen’s campus spent their summer learning about entrepreneurship, corporate innovation, social innovation, and change management from faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, and business experts. Working in teams, they developed their own companies or contributed to innovation in partnership with industry. The program culminated in a day-long competition that rewarded the top teams with cash prizes to grow their businesses.
Peter Kenny, Sc’55, speaks at the Inspiring Greatness: The Campaign for Queen’s Engineering launch, Oct. 2012
(story continued from previous page) Chief Economist at TD Bank and a Public Policy fellow at Queen’s University, shows that nearly 40% of Aboriginal Canadians didn’t finish
high school, compared to 20% for nonAboriginal students. “Education is key,” says Kenny, a retired engineer and entrepreneur. “They need more support and encouragement.”
In 2013, enrolment in QSII doubled to 40 students from 20 in 2012 (year 1); the program expanded campus-wide to include students from Commerce, Engineering, and 8 different programs in the Faculty of Arts and Science; a total of 11 ventures were launched, including 5 businesses involving the manufacturing of a physical device and a multinational healthcare organization. A lead donor investment increased the available prize money from a total of $40,000 to $80,000 to help top teams grow their businesses.
Helping young people achieve their potential is the mission of the Kenny Family Foundation and the focus of the foundation’s Inspiring Greatness campaign gift to AAE. Established in 2010, AAE promotes math and science to elementary and high school students. Kenny invested in the program to help attract more Aboriginal students to Queen’s Engineering and support them through their years of study. The gift builds on the foundation’s longtime support of Queen’s — Kenny established a pair of engineering scholarships — and of Canadian Aboriginal communities. “I’d like to see the number of Aboriginal engineering graduates increase significantly every year,” says Kenny. “It really is fundamental justice that we help Aboriginal youth thrive and prosper. It’s the right thing to do.” ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 17

Richard Ward, Sc’83, knew he was hooked the day he returned to the office to see the Queen’s Baja SAE Design Team drive the off-road vehicle out the back of his company shop and off the loading dock.
Richard Ward, Sc’83
“It was kind of a passion,” laughs the president of Kingston engineering design and manufacturing firm, Pure Ingenuity Inc. And not just of Ward or the guys in his shop; Ward’s connection to the team began a few years earlier when his nephew, Sam Roesch, Sc’12, joined the team. “He was looking for sponsors, so I gave a gift . . . and added a bit extra.” The Kingston entrepreneur and his wife, Susan Ward (nee Wilkie, Arts’82), have continued to support the Baja team, both with annual sponsorship and summer job opportunities for several students. Last year, they made a major gift to the Inspiring Greatness campaign to help with Baja SAE Design Team travel expenses and purchasing parts and services. “This is a really good way for people in engineering to learn practical design and manufacturing skills,” says Richard. Everyone should experience engineering beyond the books.” Richard wasn’t a design team member during his years at Queen’s, but he remembers gaining invaluable experience during summers spent working at Shell, for an Alberta mining company, and an insulation factory. “It’s not so easy to get that kind of experience now,” he laments, which is why he’s keen to continue to invest in the Faculty’s student experience priorities. “Insight in managing a team, use of tools and practical design skills, getting a group together, and accomplishing a goal — these are the kinds of skills we’re looking for at Pure Ingenuity. These are the experiences that make a difference.”

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.
Looking for opportunities to blend research and practice When global engineering firm Golder Associates was pursuing a buried infrastructure study for Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation a few years ago, one of their first calls was to Queen’s GeoEngineering Centre. “The type of research Queen’s is doing
18 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
is similar to many of our core service areas in geotechnology, mining, and the environment,” explains Paul Dittrich, Sc’91, Senior Geotechnical Engineer and Principal with Golder. “We have a history of collaborating with each other and looking for opportunities to blend research and practice.”
(story continued from previous page) This past year, Golder set out to “formalize” the existing ties and lay the groundwork for a lasting relationship. They made a major gift to the Inspiring Greatness campaign to establish the Golder Fellow and Visitor Fund. A portion of the annual funds will be used to relieve Queen’s geoengineering professors of teaching commitments so they can focus on industry-relevant research. The fund will also attract internationally-regarded academics and industry leaders — including candidates from Golder’s global network — to Queen’s for research and teaching sabbaticals lasting from several weeks to up to three months. The gift has the potential to impact the entire geoengineering industry, says Golder Senior Rock Mechanics Engineer and Principal Joe Carvalho. “Canada’s resource economies are getting more squeezed. We’re hoping some of the research we do together will provide

more efficient designs aimed at saving money in the long-term.” “It’s about the connection, the collaboration,” agrees Dittrich, adding this investment is just the tip of the iceberg. “We set this up around
geoengineering, but we have other technical communities within Golder that might want to follow the model. When it comes to university-industry relations, we want the Queen’s-Golder connection to become the gold standard.”
