Awards for service and talent

 

Every year the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering gives out awards for academic achievement and service. It’s like a family celebration, the “house” filled to overflowing with admiring relatives (in this case, colleagues and fellow students).

In the photo above are Professor Ramin Sedaghati, who won a Certificate of Recognition for Excellence in Service to the Department for Faculty Research; student Alexander Santos, CSME Gold Medal Winner, who also got a Certificate for Undergraduate Student Involvement; and Kudret Demirli, who won the CSIE Teaching Award. Honours went to Nadia Bhuiyan for teaching, Sophie Merineau for administrative support, Dainius Juras, for technical support, and William Wong, for lab and professional support.

Certificates were also given for long service: Professors Georgios Vatistas and Subesh Rakheja have each given 20 years to the department.
