Quotes

“It is truly an honour to be recognized in this way by the Engineering Institute of Canada, and the many engineering societies that comprise it. I would not be the recipient of this award were it not for the efforts and contributions of the many people I have worked with over the years, especially the students I have supervised, and the faculty members and other engineers with whom I have collaborated. I share this honour with them.”
