It’s the first time ever that this global prize has been won by a Canadian university, and the first time in 10 years that it has been won by a university in North America. A big congratulations to our students, and to our professors and grad students who mentored and supported the team! I invite you to peruse the lists below of those who have contributed to this project.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 17:34:21 +0000 md.lipu@mcgill.ca 9153 at /engineering /engineering/channels/event/lecture-intersectional-inclusion-engineering-design-and-workplace-culture-addressing-homophobia-357264 <p>Join us for this special lecture by Michelle Liu on homophobia, transphobia, and anti-Asian racism in engineering design and the workplace.</p> Tue, 07 May 2024 17:18:00 +0000 antonella.fratino@mcgill.ca 9162 at /engineering /engineering/channels/news/vadasz-scholar-leads-way-357171 <p>This year, PhD student, Asia Vighi will be the graduate instructor for the undergraduate team competing at iGem.

Students formed the team at the end of 2022 and spent the first two months of 2023 ideating their proposal. Then – around their regular course loads – they worked in the lab until the end of the semester. During the summer months, they implemented plans to raise money, contacting stakeholders that a small finance sub team had brainstormed. Throughout, they held workshops with the Montréal biotech community as well as a two-day conference.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:56 +0000 md.lipu@mcgill.ca 9155 at /engineering /engineering/channels/news/introduction-deans-report-352624 <p>It is my pleasure to welcome you to this issue of Dean’s Report and to introduce myself.
