Who are "WE?"
Get to know the people of
Western Engineering
Western
Engineering has grown tremendously over the past few years. The
Faculty currently consists of 85 faculty members, 60 staff
members, approximately 1500 undergraduate students and 400
graduate students.
As the Faculty continues to grow it
becomes increasingly difficult for everyone within the Faculty
to meet; until now. Western Engineering is proud to introduce a
new section in Engineering Now titled Who
are "WE?" - Get to know the people of Western Engineering.
This section will feature profiles of faculty, staff,
students and alumni.
In this first edition, you will get
to know some of the people featured in the new Western
Engineering student recruitment brochure. Profiles include:
Chemical Engineering grad student, Jennifer McMillan and
third-year Electrical Engineering student Rob Jelenic, who are
both featured on the cover of the brochure; Lauren Briens,
faculty member in the Department of Chemical & Biochemical
Engineering who is photographed on page 9; and Allison
Stevenson, Communications Officer in the Dean's Office who was
the project leader for the brochure.
Who are "WE?" will be
featured in Engineering Now on a bi-monthly basis.
The next set of profiles will appear in the April edition.
