About the UBC Supermileage Team
The Supermileage competitions provide engineering and technology students with a challenging design project that involves the development and construction of a single-person, fuel-efficient vehicle. Students build gas-powered fuel efficiency vehicles, and have the opportunity to set a world fuel economy record and increase public awareness of fuel economy and sustainability. Students become more sensitive to the environmental issues as well as develop important project management skills. For more information about the UBC Supermileage Team, visit www.supermileage.ca
We want to give a hearty cheer to our friends and collegues over at Energy Aware Technologies. We’ve been working together since their inception and it is fun to watch a company and project you have worked on for over two years achieve some well deserved recognition.
The British Columbia Technology Industry Association (BCTIA) recently announced their Technology Impact Awards and has awarded Energy Aware the prestigious “Most Promising Start-up” award for 2009. They have been working hard for the past couple of years and they deserve it. If you run into Janice, Lauren, Jon, Colby, or Collin…be sure to give them a hearty pat on the back!
We’re looking to hire an Electronics Designer in the near future. Have a read through the skills we’re looking for below and let us know if you’re interested. If you know of anyone who you would recommend that fits the bill, please pass them along to us.
