NE students win at the Norman Esch Entrepreneurship Awards for Capstone Design

Thursday, July 31, 2014

The Norman Esch Capstone Award is open to student teams from all departments within the Faculty of Engineering.  Just being chosen as one of the 15 finalists is a big accomplishment and the Nanotechnology Engineering program had three teams represented, teams Sierra, PASCAL and Greyscale.

A big congratulations to our winning team of Greyscale that captured one of six $10,000 awards at the pitch event held on Friday, April 4th, 2014. 

The Greyscale technology is a thermally active reflective roof coating which is capable of reflecting or transmitting heat depending on the season.  The coating works to reduce the energy required to control room temperature, thereby saving the environment and your money at the same time.
