FEAS is launching a faculty-wide sticker design competition with two ways to win!

Category 1: The Faculty-Wide Design (Representing all of us!)
Category 2: The Program Pride Design (One winner for each program!)

We want to see the puns, the blueprints, and the inside jokes that make FEAS unique.

Deadline: August 21st, 11:59 p.m.
Submissions: Link in bio.

The winner of each category will have their design be professionally printed and distributed across the faculty.

Happy World Asteroid Day!
This is a depiction of the asteroid Psyche, which lies in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter

Behind every asteroid tracking mission, spacecraft, and satellite is a team of aerospace engineers making space exploration possible. Our Aerospace specialization gives you a strong foundation in the science and technology of flight, exploring aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, flight dynamics, materials, and control systems while developing the skills to help design the aircraft and spacecraft of tomorrow.

This specialization is for students in the Mechanical Engineering program.

On June 17, 2026, students and teachers from Saltus Academy, Bermuda visited Ontario Tech University for a Sailboat Design Challenge that combined engineering theory with hands-on learning.

The day began with a lecture by Dr. Sharman Perera, who introduced students to the principles of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics and explained how these concepts influence sailboat design and performance. Dr. Jennifer McKellar then provided an overview of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of Energy and Nuclear Engineering, highlighting the educational opportunities available to future engineers.

Students then worked in teams to design and build model sailboats before testing their creations in Ontario Tech University’s unique Wind Chamber facility. Engineering Lab Specialist Robert Ulrich helped conduct the competition and guided students through the testing process, allowing them to evaluate the speed, stability, and overall performance of their designs under simulated wind and water conditions.

The challenge provided an exciting opportunity for students to apply engineering concepts in a practical setting while developing teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Most importantly, they learned by doing—and had fun doing it.

A special thank you to Mandy Furnis from the Office of the Registrar for coordinating this visit and helping make the event possible. Events like these play an important role in inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators.

Meet Izzy! One of our incredible Ontario Tech Engineering alumni!

After earning a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering and a Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering, she has since built an exciting career in automation and innovation.

Her master's thesis, “Proof of Concept for Computer Vision-Based Failure Detection and Print Resumption in Fused Filament Additive Manufacturing”, explored how computer vision can allow for recovery of a 3D print after an abrupt failure, improving the reliability of 3D printing processes.

Following graduation, she worked as an Automation Engineer at Caterpillar (CAT), developing autonomous navigation and operation systems for mining equipment. Today, she is a Research & Development Engineer at ACE, where she helps test and validate innovative ideas.

Outside of her professional work, she continues to make an impact in the STEM community as a FIRST Robotics alumni who has served as the Volunteer Coordinator for the Durham College FIRST Robotics Competition event for the past three years, helping create meaningful experiences for students and inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators.

We're proud to celebrate alumni like her who are advancing technology, leading with purpose, and giving back to their communities.

Today, the Government of Canada launched the Nuclear Energy Strategy, reinforcing the critical role nuclear energy will play in Canada’s future.

As this announcement was being made, some of our graduate students were visiting the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) site in Chalk River, hearing from Dr. Sourena Golesorkhi (Class of 2008), one of many Ontario Tech Nuclear Engineering alumni helping to advance Canada’s nuclear industry.

For more than 20 years, Ontario Tech has been at the centre of nuclear engineering education in Canada as the first and only university in the country to offer an accredited undergraduate Nuclear Engineering degree. Our highly skilled graduates contribute across the nuclear sector—from research and innovation to operations, regulation, and energy production.

Our longstanding partnerships with industry leaders such as Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, utilities, regulators, and supply chain organizations ensure our students are immersed in the realities of the sector from day one. As Canada’s nuclear industry continues to grow, we are proud to develop the talent that will drive its future.

We’re looking forward to an exciting week at CNL and to connecting with even more alumni who are making an impact across Canada’s nuclear landscape.

Fiona Kirby is a recent FEAS Undergraduate Alumni!
Since starting Mechanical Engineering in 2021, Fiona has embraced every opportunity, from working for Engineering Outreach, to leading Women in Engineering and the Ontario Tech Racing Aerodynamics team. Along the way, she gained hands-on experience through roles at ACE, the Canadian Space Agency, and a NASCAR team.

Her internship at the Canadian Space Agency saw her working on lunar rover projects, while her work in NASCAR led to aerodynamic components she designed being installed on Cup Series race cars.

In her final year, Fiona and her groups space focused capstone project earned first place in the capstone competition.
Fiona is returning to Joe Gibbs Racing as a full-time Aerodynamics Engineer, where she'll continue designing, testing, and implementing aerodynamic improvements that help race cars perform at their best.
Fiona has said that she has even surprised her self with how far her passion and dreams have taken her, and she hopes that her story inspires other women in STEM .
