Beurzen voor sociaal verantwoorde projecten

In 2024 werd $2500 CAD toegekend aan twee ingenieursstudenten die blijk gaven van passie, potentieel en toewijding door innovatieve projectvoorstellen te maken die sociale verantwoordelijkheid verbinden met technische uitmuntendheid.

Applications open March 16 and close June 15.

Exploring linear motion solutions for climate and disaster resilience. 

UW PROJECT

Climate-related disasters demand resilient, automation-driven engineering solutions.

Show us how your technically grounded concept can strengthen real-world response and climate resilience. 

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.

Student mechatronica

"Ik zie een wereld voor me met toegankelijke innovaties, zoals vliegende auto's, autonome voertuigen en zelfs behulpzame, onschadelijke AI-robots. Sommigen zien zulke ambities als onmogelijk, maar ik besef dat ze haalbaar zijn wanneer ik mijn passie voor engineering als katalysator inzet. Ambitie fungeert als een hulpmiddel om fantasie en werkelijkheid te overbruggen. Volg je passies onverminderd om de wereld van je dromen te realiseren."

Student elektrotechniek

"Ik ben de techniek ingegaan uit mijn passie voor creëren. Ik wil alles wat ik wens dat bestond, of waarvan ik me kan voorstellen dat het zou kunnen bestaan, kunnen omzetten in werkelijkheid. Engineering stelt mensen in staat de wereld om hen heen te verbeteren en ik wil Progressive Automations bedanken voor de kans om mijn droom in de techniek na te jagen."

"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."
