The Faculty of Engineering and Design is encouraging all Carleton undergraduate engineering students to enter the 2016 Minerva Canada’s James Ham Safe Design Award Competition. The annual award challenges Canadian university engineering students to make an original contribution toward integrating safety into engineering design.
The contest is open to all engineering undergraduate students from Canadian Universities. The competition includes first and second prizes of $3,500 and $1,500 respectively.
Minerva Canada’s James Ham Safe Design Awards:
- Encourage students and engineering faculty members to integrate safety into all designs.
- Produce safer designs of devices, processes and systems.
- Raise awareness of Process Safety Management (PSM) and Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) in engineering schools.
Through the Minerva Awards program, students in Canadian engineering schools are being challenged to:
- Suggest ways to improve the existing design of devices, processes or systems.
- Envision new, innovative designs that will eliminate or reduce potential hazards.
- Create tools to help manufacturers and workplaces integrate safety into new or retrofit designs.
More information about the competition can be found on Minerva Canada’s website. Final application date is April 11, 2016.
If you intend to apply for the award, please notify Minerva Canada by January 29, 2016 at minerva@safetymanagementeducation.com.
We look forward to your participation.
