June 2024

On June 23, we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day - a day dedicated to honouring the achievements of women in engineering and recognizing the powerful bonds and collaborations that drive innovation.

Join Dr. Michael Pegg and his research team in the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science to learn how they are testing the limits of blending hydrogen into the natural gas system and the use of hydrogen-enriched natural gas in household appliances.

Standing amongst an array of appliances, Dalhousie Engineering PhD candidate, Theodore Street adjusts the controls on a gas stove and watches as the blue flame begins to burn. This particular stove is running on a blend of natural gas mixed with 5 per cent hydrogen.

In early June the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Hon. Chrystia Freeland, toured Dalhousie’s Water Quality Lab of the Centre for Water Resources Studies (CWRS), followed by a Budget 2024 echo announcement reiterating substantive proposed federal investments in science and research across Canada.

Despite a challenging 2023 season, the team is now celebrating an impressive 4th place finish at this year’s Formula Hybrid and Electric event in Loudon, New Hampshire.

The Dalhousie Tigers celebrated the most recent class of inductees to its Hall of Fame. Among this year’s group, were two alumni from the Faculty of Engineering.
