Becas para proyectos socialmente responsables

En 2024, se otorgaron $2500 CAD a dos estudiantes de ingeniería que demostraron pasión, potencial y dedicación a su trabajo al crear propuestas de proyectos innovadoras que conectan la responsabilidad social con la excelencia en ingeniería.

Applications open March 16 and close June 15.

Exploring linear motion solutions for climate and disaster resilience. 

TU PROYECTO

Unleash your creativity and problem-solving skills to make a real difference! Show us how your project will bring about a lasting impact and transform lives.

Wildfire Mitigation & Response

Explore engineering solutions that help prevent, detect, or respond to wildfires. Projects may focus on controlled burn systems, firebreak technologies, early detection mechanisms, or automation tools that enhance firefighter safety and response coordination.

Flood Management & Infrastructure Resilience

Design systems that improve water control, drainage, flood barriers, or critical infrastructure protection. Concepts may address adaptive floodgates, smart monitoring systems, or automation that strengthens resilience in vulnerable communities.

Search & Rescue / Emergency Automation Systems

Propose technologies that enhance disaster response operations, including rescue robotics, deployable automation systems, mobility support mechanisms, or remote-controlled equipment that improves response speed and operational safety.

"I picture myself creating diagnostic tools for clinics in rural areas, places where electricity is unreliable, and doctors need quick, simple answers. I dream of building educational platforms that speak
to students who think in different languages. The gap between what tech can do and what people actually need motivates me deeply."
