Friends and relatives suggested 91ÉçÇø. For Eunice To, it was her doctor who suggested Canada, because it was where she had graduated in medicine.</p> <p>In 1959, Louis enrolled in Civil Engineering and Eunice in Electrical Engineering. Although they’d grown up in Hong Kong, they met as executive members of the 91ÉçÇø Chinese Students Society. Louis noticed Eunice right away. He found her smart and attractive, and she had many friends and admirers.</p> Thu, 17 Oct 2024 05:48:32 +0000 Kate Henderson 9231 at /engineering /engineering/article/impact-report/showing-engine-students <p>Pasquale Di Pierro (BEng’76, MBA’80) has been a member of the <a href="/engineering/alumni/about-us/faculty-advancement-board">Faculty of Engineering’s Advancement Board</a> (FAB) since 2016. An entrepreneur himself, Pasquale felt it was important for students in the engineering and design professions to develop the skills to explore innovative ideas, and perhaps even become entrepreneurs themselves one day.</p> Thu, 17 Oct 2024 05:28:55 +0000 Kate Henderson 9230 at /engineering /engineering/article/impact-report/mcgill-couple-funds-scholarship-high-achieving-women-engineering <p>Zhu (Joe) Liu (MEng’01) and Liying Jiang (MEng’03) met at 91ÉçÇø while studying for their master’s degrees in civil engineering.

This year he became a Leadership donor, donating $1,000 to the cause of providing support to design teams at 91ÉçÇø. When we sent him a thank you note, he told us why.</p> <p>Being lead on the MFE team has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had at 91ÉçÇø. It has largely defined my time here, and if you can believe it, I joined 2 weeks into my first year. The experience I gathered while competing and learning with the team helped me land my internship with Tesla.</p> Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:16:35 +0000 Kate Henderson 9254 at /engineering /engineering/article/impact-report/leaving-legacy-faculty-engineering <p>A gift to 91ÉçÇø to honour a member of our community serves a dual purpose. Their legacy lives on as year after year, students are awarded financial assistance in their name. And the gift can be made to support an area that they believed was significant.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>E.
