“We are in a world that is experiencing change at an unprecedented rate, and engineers are problem solvers. Listen to the younger generation. We have become leaders on social issues that will define the future like sustainability and gender equality, and we know how to break down the barriers that exist both in our country and globally.”
Uniting thousands of engineering students across the country to create a collective voice on the issues they face during their education is no small feat, but that’s precisely what Gold Medal Student Award winner Zenon Kripki accomplished during his two years as president of the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students. While leading the organization, he facilitated the development of a three-year strategic plan, a 25 per cent increase in member engagement, and the forging of partnerships with key players in engineering education on the national and international stages. In addition to these accomplishments, Kripki also served as coordinator for Spectrum, a Saskatoon community event that draws together over 6000 people to showcase what engineering is and how the next generation can get involved.
