RRC Instrumentation & Control Engineering Technology students earn medals at SAIT International
Four students from the RRC Instrumentation & Control Engineering Technology (ICE Tech) program attended the SAIT ISA international Student Instrumentation Games, held in Calgary from March 16 – 19, 2019. Instrumentation engineering students from all over the world attended the event and worked in teams to solve instrumentation and control challenges.
It is a great opportunity for students to meet and interact with their peers from around the world. The students enjoyed the experience and RRC was fortunate enough to come home with both a Gold and a Bronze medal: the only school to earn 2 medals! The participating institutions are listed below.
Of course, SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) was the host institution; thanks to them for inviting RRC again this year to attend a very well planned and executed event.
The School of Construction and Engineering Technology and The School of Transportation, Aviation, and Manufacturing presented 110 Awards to successful students.
Skills Canada National Competition (June 1-2, 2017)
The 2017 Skills Canada National Competition continued its ongoing objective of highlighting the importance of the nine Essential Skills commonly used in skilled trade and technology careers.
Essential Skills was one of the highlights of the two-day competition. Students and guests engaged in hands-on challenges, presentations, and interactive activities intended to increase awareness of the Essential Skills. In 2017, SCC gave special emphasis to Working with Others.
