Annual Engineering Design Symposium

(Continued from here.)

The GGE presentations were judged by a panel created by the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG) New Brunswick Branch. We are grateful to the CIG for choosing the judges and spending a day at the symposium to carry out the judging. We thank Robert Harris, Bernie Connors, Katie LeBlanc, Jeremy Nicholson, and Colin Lang for their service. And once again, we are delighted to be able to thank sponsors for providing prize money. $1000 from the CIG New Brunswick Branch went to the first place winners, McElhanney provided $750 for the second place winners, while Midwest Surveys donated $500 for the third place winners.

We congratulate the CIG prize winners.

In addition, GGE professors made two awards. The "Faculty Choice Award" was based on the oral presentation made, and a written report submitted to the course GGE 4700 - Design Project and Report. A "Best Poster Award" was also made. The winners of these two awards were:
