ENGINEERS RESPOND TO COVID-19 When COVID-19 shuttered engineering labs at SFU and UVic, the engineers running them could have waited it out at home. Instead, they asked themselves how they—and the local community—could help. COVER STORY PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS 2019 | 2020 From the design of the new pier in White Rock and a new bridge across the Saint Lawrence River, to cable ferries near Nakusp, a long-range autonomous underwater vehicle, and a footbridge in eastern Uganda— registrants give us insight into their work here and around the world.

The process is about to undergo field trials, and geoscientists are preparing a Carbon Mineralization Potential Index—the combination of which could alter the carbon footprint of mining projects.
