Past Students (2011/2012)
Elaine Samuel
Hometown: Abbotsford, British Columbia
Why did you choose International Development?
International development addresses complex world issues
such as lack of water, sanitation, and health from an
engineering perspective. I believe everyone should have
equal opportunities, however, these complex world problems
limit people's ability to reach their full potential.
Hopefully, with the knowledge and skills I gain from the
program I can do my own part to create equal
opportunities.
What will you be doing this summer?
International placement, location TBA
Rebecca Solinger
Hometown: Calgary, Alberta
Why did you choose International Development?
I chose International Development to further my knowledge
and understanding of global issues that wil affect my work
as a future engineer. I have a particular interest in
environmental engineering, and the International
Development program has been a great opportunity to
broaden my view on these issues, such as clean water and
sanitation, by providing students with real world examples
of problems and solutions. I also chose this program in
hopes of gaining first hand experiences in international
volunteer work through the summer placement.

Victoria Trglavcnik
Hometown: Mt. Brydges, Ontario
Why did you choose International Development?
I chose the International Development program, because I
knew that I wanted to work within the environmental
engineering field, while also being able to travel and
contributing to developing countries.
The versatility of being able to apply my skills in
Canada and abroad was extremely enticing to me.
With my education, I wanted to be able to support
worldwide sustainability while assisting in the
improvement of life for people in developing countries.

fortunate than myself. I also chose this program in order to gain first hand
experience in an international setting through the summer placement internship.
