McNaughton Learning Grant Reports
In Dec. 2016, the IEEE Canadian Foundation Board of Directors approved grants for McNaughton Learning Resource Centre (MLRC) upgrades at the University of Ottawa (UO) and Carleton University (CU).
The OU and CU IEEE Student Branches (SBs) reported that the upgrades, supported also by additional funds from other sources, have been done. The UO SB has acquired multimeters, breadboards, and some electronic components. This has increased the opportunities for students to work on their electronics projects at the MRLC beside their scheduled UO laboratory time. The CU SB has acquired an iPad for their MLRC, which is used for various purposes: for presentations at the tutorials, seminars, workshops and other educational events the SB organizes; for event registrations, programme updates, and feedback collections; and for signing up students-volunteers. It is also used for outreach and promotions of new and upcoming activities, initiatives, and competitions.
