Western Engineering celebrates engineering excellence

Earlier this month, Western Engineering came together to honour staff, faculty and alumni at the 2023 Engineering Awards of Excellence Gala. Hosted by Dean Ken Coley, it was an evening to highlight the incredible work being done at Western Engineering as well as to recognize the leadership and innovation of our alumni.

"Tonight really is about celebrating the incredible Western Engineering family that we are all a part of," said Coley. "We celebrate our collective achievements, our resiliency, our relationships, and most importantly, each other."
