Claudia Macedo Memorial SURE Award in Sustainable Engineering

The Department of Mining and Materials Engineering is proud to announce that Heather Mantel, a U1 undergraduate student in the Materials Engineering Co-op Program, is this year’s recipient of the "Claudia Macedo Memorial SURE Award in Sustainable Engineering". The project is under the supervision of Professor Raynald Gauvin and the research topic is:  "measuring physical parameters of the x-ray detector”.  The Department of Mining and Materials Engineering raised funds to endow this SURE Traineeship as a memorial to Claudia Macedo, a student who tragically passed. 

In Heather’s words:

“I never met Claudia. However, from stories I’ve heard she was type of person everyone would have loved: outgoing, kind, passionate, and motivated; she was everything an engineer should be. I am thankful of her family and the department for giving me the opportunity to do something that I hope she would have been proud to call her legacy.”
