PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

M ay is upon us and

hopefully the warm weather

will as well. Looking forward to getting

outdoors, cutting grass, landscaping and

of course coaching soccer.

In April we were “Back to the

‘Burg” at the Verdi Club and they did a

wonderful job. A very hospitable group

and the renovations they did in the

Members’ Bar were very impressive.

This month we will be going to the

University Of Windsor Engineering

Building. For those that have not had the

pleasure of being in the building yet, it

is definitely going to be a treat!

The business networking period

will be replaced with guided tours of the

facility. This is still your opportunity to

get to know your fellow members a little

more while at the same time getting a

rare opportunity to have a behind the

scenes look at this marvelous structure.

In June, I’m happy to

announce that we will be

hosting the “Taste of

CIBPA”. There was

information presented at

last next meeting as well as

forms for you to fill out. The

Taste of CIBPA will only be a success if

you participate. I strongly encourage

everyone to get involved. Let’s have

some fun with it.

We have different categories for our

members to sign up in and it will be

your time to showcase your abilities and

culinary talents in a fun (and delicious)

way. A wise man once said “You miss

100% of the shots you don’t take”.

Don’t miss your shot at being a culinary

CIBPA Star!

I look forward to seeing you all at

the University of Windsor. Our

wonderful Vice-President Nadia

DiDomenico will be chairing the

meeting as I will be running late. ONE

CIBPA!!!!

or comments, feel free to call me at

Located in the “Automotive Capital of Canada” across the River from Detroit, Michigan, the University of Windsor is often referred to as “Canada’s Automotive University” and our Faculty of Engineering is a key contributor to our prominence. There is a long-standing relationships with many major automotive companies and suppliers: Chrysler, GM, Ford, Toyota, International Truck and Engine to name a few. But Windsor’s Engineering is far more than just automotive engineering. With over 1200 undergraduate and 500 graduate students, supported and inspired by diverse and talented faculty and staff, UWindsor Engineering through its four accredited academic departments offers a wide array of technical expertise and graduate and undergraduate degree programs: civil and environmental; mechanical, automotive, aerospace, and materials; electrical and computing; and industrial and manufacturing systems. The programs include the Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Engineering, Integrated B.A.Sc./M.A.Sc., Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Aerospace engineering is our newest program and focuses on the key needs of industry as aviation engineering pushes well into the 21st century. Other highlights and recent developments include:

Program innovations such as new graduate initiatives and a dedicated support program for first-year engineering students;

Six Canada Research Chairs and one Industrial Research Chair;

Close industrial partnerships with numerous major corporations such as Siemens, Imperial Oil, and several automotive and related manufacturers, including Chrysler, GM, and Ford Motor Company;

The University of Windsor is the host university for the AUTO21 Network Centre of Excellence (NCE), the largest NCE in Canada;

The University’s involvement in the world-class, multimillion-dollar UWindsor/Chrysler Automotive Research and Development Centre (ARDC).

The Center for Automotive Research and Education (CARE) with state-of-the-art infrastructure for automotive research and education

Think forward. Engineer an impact.

Make a difference. That is the vision of

the Faculty of Engineering at the

University of Windsor. We strive to

engineer an impact through our student

graduates; through our faculty’s research

and discoveries; and through engagement

in our community both locally and

globally.

Centre For Structures Safety And Failure Analysis

The structures lab features one-and-a-half metre thick concrete walls paired with an equally strong floor

to test durability and failure of test components. Nothing like it has ever been seen in a university setting

before. Equipped with a 20-ton crane, the strong room offers unparalleled learning opportunities for students.

The wall is 4.92’ thick by 35.4’ high and the floor is 3.6’ thick. Casting of these elements was a

challenge and precautions were taken to minimize concrete cracking due to high temperatures reached in the

concrete.

Tour of the: STRUCTURES LAB

Tour of the: CHARGE LAB

Dr. Kar’s Centre for Hybrid Automotive Research & Green Energy

(CHARGE) is a state-of-the-art lab. It focuses on the develop of an improved

electric drive train system for electric and hybrid vehicles. Work in the

CHARGE lab will increase the capability, energy efficiency and performance

of the electric motor, reducing carbon emissions and dependence on fossil

fuels.

A team of researchers at the University of Windsor and a local solar technologies company have

collaborated to prove the benefits of solar power in extending the driving range of electric vehicles.

By harnessing the sun’s rays through rooftop panels, Unconquered Sun Solar Technologies founder

and CEO Sean Moore says the driving range can be extended an average of 45 per cent further.

Associate professor Narayan Kar led a team of three PhD students, a masters student and a senior

undergraduate in studying the vehicle rooftop solar technology.
