UBC Student Chapter Industry Night:: February 25th, 2009
ITE Greater Vancouver’s UBC Student Chapter held their 7th
annual Industry Night and Student Presentation on February 25th.
This event provides an opportunity for students (undergraduate
and graduate alike) to meet and network with professionals in the
transportation industry, as well as allow students to showcase
their knowledge through presentations.
After a mingling session and introductions by various companies,
the student presentation competition was held. The top four
results are:
• 1st Place: Mohamed El Esawey (Graduate)
• 2nd Place: Elham Boozarjomehri (Graduate)
• 3rd Place: Daniel Lai, Louis Cheung, and Linda Qian Lin
(Undergraduate)
• 4th Place: Ivan Chu, Becky Lai, and Vincent Wong
(Undergraduate)
The event was once again a great success, thanks to the Student
Chapter Executive lead by Shewkar Ibrahim (President) and the
Chapter Advisor Dr. Tarek Sayed.
