As part of the showcase, the projects were adjudicated by faculty, industry and community partners, with winners selected in several categories. Altogether, 115 students took part.
“Congratulations to each of the students in this year’s showcase,” says Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask Polytech president and CEO. “It's inspiring to see the amazing projects on which our faculty and students have collaborated with engaged industry partners. Projects like these confirm Sask Polytech’s growing reputation in the applied research arena, proving yet again that with our dynamic students we are leading the rise of polytechnic education.”
Student projects demonstrated practical and innovative solutions to industry challenges. These hands-on, real-world opportunities give Sask Polytech students an advantage in the workplace.
“The enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by students in collaborating with industry partners and the broader community is truly commendable,” says Dr. Ian McWilliams, associate vice-president, Applied Research and Innovation. “It reminds us of the profound impact of applied research in shaping our community and beyond.”
