Organized by the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) and Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), the prestigious annual event will showcase the contributions engineers make to economic growth and technological advances through their work as innovators and entrepreneurs.
The award recipients from Waterloo are:
- Lin Tan, electrical and computer engineering: winner of a medal for young engineers. Cross-appointed with computer science, her research interests include software reliability and security, software engineering and systems.
- Susan Tighe, civil and environmental engineering: winner of a medal for research and development. She is a Canada Research Chair, Norman W. McLeod Chair and Director of the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology.
- John Yeow, systems design engineering: winner of a medal for engineering excellence. He is a Canada Research Chair with interests in micro/nanoelctromechanical systems, microassembly and nanodevices for biomedical applications.
Tan, Tighe and Yeow are among 10 winners to be honoured in Mississauga on Nov. 19 at the 2016 Ontario Professional Engineers Awards, which have been running for almost 70 years.
