Members of the civil engineering Class of 1967 have endowed a scholarship fund to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their graduation.
Sydney Ryan may have had a slight advantage over her fellow campers.
The 12-year-old has a knack for engineering and builds race car tracks for her brothers and boats at home using found materials.
So, it’s no surprise that when tasked with the challenge to bring an egg safely to the ground from three storeys up, Ryan had a plan.
“We are trying to make a bird’s nest and have a base with a spongey-kind of foam material, a layer of paper and then a web of tight string that goes on either side of the egg,” Ryan said, who will be going into Grade 8 in the fall.
Mehrdad Saif, dean of engineering, has been inducted as a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.

UWindsor professor Hoda ElMaraghy has won election to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.
Positioned in the middle of Narayan Kar’s lab sits an electric motor from the Ford Motor Company: a machine that had been scrutinized by researchers and engineers for countless hours.
Yet, the University of Windsor engineering professor has set out to take that motor and make it even better.
“Our work will never end and this will always be an open-ended problem,” said Dr. Kar. “There will always be an opportunity to make them lighter, compact and more efficient.”
Several engineering faculty and staff members were honoured for their commitment to innovation, teaching and service at a ceremony on June 13.
