On May 31, 2017, Associate Professor Dr. Anasavarapu Srikantha Phani was announced as a recipient of the 2016-2017 UBC Killam Teaching Prize for the Faculty of Applied Science (Vancouver), which is the university’s highest award for teaching. Presented at the May 2017 convocation by Hugh Brock, Associate Provost, Brock had the following to say about Phani:
“Behind the calm and thoughtful lecture style of Dr. Srikantha Phani lies a passion and enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge with students. An expert in vibrations and solid mechanics, he develops complex engineering concepts using a combination of traditional lecture methods, in-class and video demonstrations, and labs. He succeeds in making difficult materials understandable to students with a wide range of abilities. Both in and out of the classroom, Dr. Phani is known for his genuine interest in student success and his willingness to take the time to help students develop their critical thinking skills and thei ...

Effective June 5, 2017, Applied Science has welcomed our very own James Olson, PEng as the interim dean for the Faculty of Applied Science.
He follows Marc Parlange, who joined the Faculty as dean in 2013 and is now provost of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
A professor of mechanical engineering at UBC, Olson has held many leadership roles at the university, including director of the Pulp and Paper Centre, interim director of the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems and associate dean of research and industry partnerships at the Faculty of Applied Science.
?The past few years have seen many positive changes in UBC Applied Science — more diversity, stronger academic and industry connections, even better student opportunities for study, research and entrepreneurship — and I intend to keep us on this upward trajectory,? says Olson.
After graduating from UBC with a BASc in engineering physics and a PhD i ...

The Mechanical Engineering Department regularly hosts guided lab tours for high school students, first year students, incoming mechanical engineering students, or anyone interested in mechanical engineering. This year, we will be hosting tours on the following dates:
June 15, 2017, 10:30 to 12:00
August 10, 2017, 10:30 to 12:00
Come meet some of our current MECH students and get their perspective on the department and program as they show you around our facilities. See the cool gadgets our student teams are working on and learn about the many different areas in which a mechanical engineer can apply his or her knowledge. Get a look at the cutting-edge technology inside our labs and see the kinds of research mechanical engineers can do. It?s a great chance to find out what our department is all about and what you can do with a mechanical engineering degree from UBC!
For those interested, there will also be a half-hour long advising session held after the tour where participan ...
