Student Achievements

The 2008 FSAE team placed second in fuel efficiency, fifth in acceleration and 15th overall competing against teams from 75 universities. The 21-member interdisciplinary student group is made up of volunteers who participate in the project on their own time, outside of their rigorous study schedules.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Engineering students make the most of opportunities to take the knowledge they learn in their classes and co-op placements and apply it to real-world challenges.

Participants in student teams like the U of A Eco-Car, for example, have designed and built experimental vehicles and competed globally against universities from all over the world. Our ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈSat student team designed and built ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's first satellite, which was launched in 2017.

In academics, community contributions, and athletics, UºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ engineering students are exceptional. In 2017-18, 19 engineering student-athletes were named Academic All Canadians, maintaining stellar grades and competing at the varsity level.

Engineering students embrace the duty of engineers to make the world a better, safer place, and contribute through participation in groups like Engineers Without Borders, Bridges to Prosperity and Engage North, and through many charitable events organized by the Engineering Students' Society.
