Call for Nominations: Schmidt Science Fellowships
The Schmidt Science Fellows program aims to provide the next generation of scientific leaders and innovators with an exceptional opportunity. Fellows will receive a stipend of $100,000 to support their involvement in two core program components: (i) a full-time, 11+ month postdoctoral research study in a field-leading laboratory, focusing on a discipline in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or computing that is different from their existing area of expertise and planned future focus and (ii) a series of four global meetings at the world?s leading academic institutions, interspersed across the duration of the fellowship. To be considered eligible, individuals must have received or expect to receive a PhD in natural sciences (including life, physical, and earth sciences), engineering, mathematics, or computing between May 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 . Further information is available at: https://schmidtsciencefellows.org ...

Call for Applications: Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship?Deadline: August 1st, 2018
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/7/18 2:04)
|
With its internationally competitive level of funding and as Canada?s most prestigious trainee competition, the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of the most sought-after fellowship opportunities for postdoctoral fellows. The objective of the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program is to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential, and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow.
Host institutions play a critical role in the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships program and are asked to endorse only their highest-calibre postdoctoral researchers . In order to ensure that the highest-quality applicants are nominated for the national competition, UBC conducts an Internal Banting Competition . The mandatory UBC internal selection process will identify the strongest applications which will be selected per Tri-Council area (CIHR, NSERC & SSHRC) to receive the necessary institution ...

“I spent three years designing and building [Ada] with my team before taking the boat across Canada to launch her into the Atlantic Ocean for what was to be the first ever trans-Atlantic journey by an autonomous sailboat.”
I?ve made my way through five years of mechanical engineering at UBC trying to do as much as possible. I joined UBC Sailbot at the beginning of my first year, helped launch our autonomous sailboat, Ada, across the Atlantic Ocean in August 2016, and then spent my last two years on the team as a mechanical lead. I?ve been a member of the Godiva Band for all five years playing flute and piccolo ? and I was in the UBC Concert Winds for my first five semesters. I?ve had three co-op jobs: working for Bosch in Germany; International Submarine Engineering in Port Coquitlam and finally at Blue Origin in the United States. I spent the first half of this past year applying to graduate schools, and was accepted to Stanford, Unive ...

?Engineering will teach you about yourself and how to push through difficult challenges to find a solution.?
I am a proud mechanical engineer graduate who has always been interested in creating change and helping others. Throughout my education, I have been involved with the Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Club (Club Mech) as the newsletter editor, vice-president and president (2017-2018), where I found amazing friendships and a passion for promoting unity within our student community. Helping to encourage awareness and support about gender minorities and biases has been a topic close to my heart that lead me to get involved with Women in Engineering (WiE) ? I love being able to motivate and support women in engineering by sharing my experiences, while learning many valuable professional and personal skills. I am an extremely passionate person, who is grateful to my peers, staff and faculty for making my time at UBC valuable and memorable.

MECH Alum Wins Oral Presentation Award at Injury Biomechanics SymposiumFront Page?M?Beth Schoenfeldm
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/5/29 0:18)
|
M?Beth Schoenfeld , a second-year MASc student in UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering, was awarded the Dr. Margaret H. Hines Award for best oral presentation at the 2018 Injury Biomechanics Symposium hosted by The Ohio State University. Now in its fourteenth year, the annual event aims “to stimulate and reward strong injury biomechanics research among students and recent graduates.”
Schoenfeld, who is co-supervised by UBC mechanical engineering professor Peter Cripton, presented on a study where she and her team measured the vertebral and muscular responses of a live human subject as he was taken from an upright seated position into an upside-down free-fall. Accomplished using a custom inversion device built by Schoenfeld and her team, the study was an attempt to recreate the conditions of a rollover ? a crash where a vehicle tips onto its side or roof ? prior to a head-first impact.
After the free-fall, the study participant was safely decelerated to rest an ...

70 SCENES OF HALLOWEEN
By Jeffrey M Jones
Directed by Christopher Herold
In this quirky and inventive play, ordinary married couple Jeff and Joan seem set to spend Halloween on their couch in a state of mild antagonism and mutual boredom. But as time fragments and reassembles, dark forces emerge and the couple must contend with ghosts, beasts, and witches banging on their windows, wafting through their rooms, and wielding butcher knives.

TARTUFFE
By Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur
Directed by Domenique Lozano
A con man disguised as a pious spiritual leader wheedles his way into the home of a gullible wealthy man in the midst of a mid-life crisis?and promptly sets the household topsy turvy. If not for quick-witted Dorine, grounded Elmire, and patient Cléante, all might be lost! Lechery, egotism, young ...
