Two incoming first year Mechatronics students each win $100,000 scholarships. 

Evangeline Dryburgh and Shahed Saleh are entering their first term this fall in our Mechatronics program. Winners of the Schulich Leader Scholarships, the largest STEM scholarship in Canada, distinguished themselves via high grades, leadership roles in their communities and participation in entrepreneurial ventures. 

Evangeline would like to work in clean energy and is interested in nuclear fusion while Shahed is hoping to lead a meaningful career in the field of robotics. 

Congratulations to them both on their continued accomplishments!
