Engineering Study Category: City-Wide Flood Vulnerability, Prioritization & Mitigation Study – AMEC Foster Wheeler & City of Burlington

FloodingAmec Foster Wheeler evaluated flood vulnerability in all Burlington subwatersheds, including both riverine and urban flood conveyance systems. The study prioritized these areas based on a common measure of flood risk and created a schedule of flood mitigation opportunities that would provide the greatest reduction of flood risk for the lowest capital cost.

Innovative Project Category: Work Integrated Learning Program (WILP) – Siemens Canada

Manufacturers in Canada report shortages of skilled labour that are affecting their competitiveness. To help address this training skills gap, Siemens Canada began a Work Integrated Learning Program that fosters collaboration between government, post-secondary institutions and the private-sector. The WILP curriculum fosters skills development for engineering and technology students, establishes a new industry-led training framework, and places advanced manufacturing tools at post-secondary institutions.
