MIE Faculty Recognized by the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering

Each year the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME) recognizes deserving mechanical engineering professionals who are members of the CSME with honours and awards. This year, Prof. Sanjeev Chandra, Prof. Patrick Lee and Prof. Edmond Young are being honoured by the society. The awards ceremony will take place during the CSME International Congress in Charlottetown, PEI in June 2021.

Sanjeev Chandra is the recipient of the 2020 Robert W. Angus medal in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the management and practice of mechanical engineering. He is known internationally for his research on the dynamics of droplets and sprays and is one of the founders of the Centre for Advanced Coating Technologies. He teaches courses in thermodynamics and heat transfer and has served as visiting professor at universities in the UK, Germany, France, Korea and Singapore.

Patrick Lee is being honoured with the G.H. Duggan medal for the best paper dealing with the use of advanced materials for structural or mechanical purposes. He is a founding director of the Multifunctional Composites Manufacturing Laboratory and co-director of the Microcellular Plastics Manufacturing Laboratory. Dr. Lee’s major expertise is in the area of polymer foam processing/characterization, and processing-structure-property relationships of nanocomposites. 

Edmond Young will be inducted as CSME Fellow (FCSME) in recognition of his excellence in mechanical engineering and contributions to the progress of their profession and of society. Prof. Young established and now directs the Laboratory for Integrative Biology and Microengineered Technologies, focusing on research and development of biomicrofluidic systems for cell biology research.

U of T Research: Discovering University Worlds Survey: Equity and Online Learning

This is a short survey of UofT students and faculty to understand experiences with the move to online courses in the spring term. The survey pays particular attention to equity and considers the opinions of both faculty and students. We will share the results as widely as possible.

The survey can be found at this link: https://surveys.enalyzer.com/?pid=qusib4b2

The survey is administered by a U of T collective “Discovering University Worlds” which is a SSHRC-funded, interdisciplinary team of faculty who undertake critical research at UofT on matters that include finance, ethics, diversity, and mobilizations.  See our website for more details on the project.
