One by one, they stood up in front of their peers and delivered a pitch. The range of topics was broad: an idea for virtual hot-pots, the possibilities of space travel using lasers, the benefits of weightlifting, to name only a few. For entrepreneurs, making a successful business pitch is a core skill. But for these students, skill development is only part of the equation.</p> Fri, 26 Oct 2018 14:06:09 +0000 Junji Nishihata 7900 at /engineering From trash to treasure: Recycled material gives Kuujjuaq new sports pavilion /engineering/article/news/trash-treasure-recycled-material-gives-kuujjuaq-new-sports-pavilion <p>A team from the School of Architecture’s Minimum Cost Housing Group (MCHG) has won a prestigious National Design Award for its unique project repurposing discarded materials in the northern village of Kuujjuaq to design and build an outdoor sports pavilion and enhance a central public space.
