A circuitous journey to find inspiration
Building a cleaner and more sustainable planet is motivating third-year Electrical Engineering student Erika Pineo. She spent the last 16-months on co-op with 2 different organizations after completing her first two-years of undergraduate studies.
Turning waste into fuel
Third-year Mechanical Engineering student Abigail Stokes never thought she’d find herself working with waste treatment sludge as she had aspired to work in the automotive or biomedical industry. Instead, as she starts her second-semester of third year, Stokes is well-ensconced in waste treatment sludge as an undergraduate researcher at UBC Okanagan’s Bioreactor Technology Group (BTG).
Graduates careers take flight at KF Aerospace
Both KF Aerospace and UBC Okanagan are engines for the Okanagan economy, and continue to develop opportunities for collaboration. From co-op programs to research and employment, the future for both continues on an upward trajectory.
