Engine - driving technological innovation in the art world
It's not often that the art world collides with the engineering world, but that's exactly what happened when Chloe Ryan and Celeste Nantel, both undergraduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Class of 2023, began brainstorming ideas while studying for midterms two years ago. During high school, Ryan painted canvases that took hours to complete, and it was hard to sell her artwork for prices that paid for her time.
Innovation by Design at the Faculty of Engineering
On August 23, Dean Jim Nicell welcomed almost 500 newly-admitted students to the Faculty of Engineering's Discover McGill orientation session. During his introductory speech, he highlighted the Faculty's goal to help our students develop both as unique persons and as professionals, and to help them connect their technical training to the changing needs of our larger community and society.
