On March 3, Mechtronix World Corporation announced a gift of $150 000 to Concordia’s Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. The funds will help refurbish the basement-level, Hall Building engineering laboratory affectionately known as “the cage,” where about 60 guests gathered for the gift announcement ceremony.
In recognition of the gift, Concordia has renamed the facility “Intelligent Machines World.” It will be used by the Concordia Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and all Engineering and Computer Science students working on their final-year Capstone projects.
Mechtronix has been a long-time supporter of Concordia. Its previous gifts included a $36 000 donation to create a graduate scholarship in the Faculty of Fine Arts, $9 000 for a new truck for the SAE, a pressure crusher used at Concordia’s annual Troitsky Bridge Building competition (coming up on March 5 to cap off engineering week) and a flight simulator for aerospace engineering students.
