Student Sustainability Research Incentives
Yes
A brief description of the student research program, including the incentives provided and any positive outcomes during the previous three years:
Student Research and Innovation Day is an annual event that allows students to showcase truly innovative projects that they have created independently, in-class or as a part of a capstone project. Incentive to develop research projects comes in the form of prizes in many categories. Many of the projects are sustainability-related or focused, especially in the technology category. Through the Centre for Sustainable Energy and Environments (CSEE), faculty members who receive project funding often involve students in their research by offering course credit for projects related to the research, and also through co-op terms that are often paid. This gives students further incentive to become involved in sustainability research.
Faculty Sustainability Research Incentives
