FIRE PROTECTION OF STEEL STRUCTURES ... - CISC-ICCA

Students from across Canada benefit from CISC’s aid programs aimed at promoting structural steel studies
CISC SCHOLARSHIP AND COOP PROGRAMS
CISC offers a number of scholarship and coop programs
for students across Canada. Funded and administered
through regional efforts, these initiatives are offered to
students conducting studies in the field of structural engineering and
are designed to help promote structural steel studies at Canadian
education institutions.
ATLANTIC REGION
The Atlantic region’s scholarship program offers a scholarship with a
value of $7,500. The Atlantic Regional Committee of the Canadian
Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) has established this graduate
scholarship to support an engineer who is pursuing a postgraduate
degree in Civil Engineering with emphasis on structural steel
structures or a related steel topic at one of the four Atlantic universities
with engineering programs: University of New Brunswick, Université
de Moncton, Dalhousie University and Memorial University.
Professor John Newhook, Ed Whalen and Joshua Levy
The applicant can be a recent engineering graduate or
an engineer that is working in industry, government or the
academic field. The goal is to provide monetary support to a
person who is continuing his or her study in the structural steel
field, while encouraging that person to continue with a career
in the steel industry.
Rob White
Joshua Levy has been chosen as the recipient of the 2010
CISC Atlantic Canada Scholarship for Steel Structures Studies.
Research is being done under Professor John Newhook at
Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This award is
intended to help towards Mr. Levy’s graduate work examining
the structural response of long-span steel cable suspension
bridges under live load.
This scholarship has been made possible through the contributions
of the Atlantic Region CISC members and the International
Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing
Ironworkers Locals 752 and 842.
ONTARIO REGION
The Ontario Regional Committee awarded scholarships in 2010
to students who excelled in their steel design courses, eight
of which were presented to engineering students and two to
architectural students. Chosen recipients were selected based on
input from their professors at each respective institution. This year
scholarships went to:
Jennifer Anne Fournier, Windsor University
Matthew Lammers, Waterloo University
Curtis Williams, University of Western Ontario
Matthew Smith, University of Toronto, Engineering
Niel Van Engelen, McMaster University
Meimei Lam, Ryerson University, Engineering
Juan Giraldo Velez, Carleton University
University of Toronto, Architectural
Queen’s University
