Inaugural Student Competition - A Huge Success!
October 27, 2015
On the weekend October 16th the ISA Edmonton Student Section held our annual Student Games and inaugural Student Competition.
It was the first year we invited students from outside Edmonton. A total of 24 students from the University of Calgary, SAIT, University of Alberta and NAIT participated. The students had a blast! Over the course of two days they not only learnt more about instrumentation and applying these skills, they also developed new friendships and learned how to build working relationships.
Here's a quick overview of what our inaugural Student Competition entailed:
Day 1: We held a mixer; students designed their own team t-shirts, participated in a “Photo Treasure Hunt” (the objective was find the listed objects around NAIT Campus and take a “selfie” with it). Later that same day, a training session was provided by Instructors at NAIT lead by Allan McIntosh.
Day 2: The competition began, students were expected to complete the their tasks using the knowledge they obtained from the training session the night before. The mechatronic setup used for training and the competition was provided by Shell Manufacturing Unit, this unit was modified by a team of instructors from NAIT for the competition.
The ISA Edmonton Student Section would like to thank Andy Van der Veen for allowing us to host this event at NAIT, Cameron McCluskey and Leslie Surtees for allowing their students to participate and a HUGE thank you to all the NAIT instructors for volunteering their time for this event - it would not have been possible without your dedication. With special recognition to Allan McIntosh, Aaron Boser and Luan Nguyen for spending late nights at the lab to ensure the event went as smoothly as possible. Last but not the least, thank you to the ISA Edmonton Section for sponsoring the entire event!
