neWfoUndland and labradorand city of St. JohnS

Newoundland and Labrador is so ar east in North America, it has its own timezone. The rugged terrain, amazing vistas and sprawling coastline make it unique to say the least and the people here are as unique as the terrain. The proud sel-expression, the kindness, the humour, the character, the rereshing approach to lie all in a place so rich in history, its ossils date back hal a billion years.

St. Johns is our capital and located on the east coast o Newoundland. It wasounded more than 400 years ago, and today is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan and

sae city with nearly 200,000 residents. There are lots o things to do in St. Johns.Shop on Water Street. Enjoy music on George Street. Hike up Signal Hill. Experienceunderwater lie at the Fluvarium, The Rock at Johnson GEO CENTRE, art at TheRooms or LSPU Hall. Jog the trails to Quidi Vidi Lake, ski in Pippy Park or skate atMile One Centre. The choices seem endless.

In St. Johns it can be windy, rainy, oggy and sunny, seemingly all at once. Wintersare mild, with an average temperature o 0C, and summer temperatures averagebetween 20 and 23C.

MeMorial UniverSity of neWfoUndland

The largest university in Atlantic Canada, Memorial oers more than 100 degreeprograms to a student population o approximately 17,000.

Founded in 1925 as a memorial to Newoundlands war dead, Memorial UniversityCollege was elevated to degree-granting status in 1949 as Memorial University oNewoundland. Today, the university is the largest in Atlantic Canada. Memorialprovides excellent undergraduate, graduate and proessional programs in virtuallyall disciplines. With locations in St. Johns and Corner Brook in Newoundland,Happy Valley-Goose Bay in Labrador, the French-owned island o Saint-Pierre andHarlow in England, Memorial is committed to experiential learning. The universitysmany interdisciplinary programs abound with opportunities or experientiallearning, ranging rom on-campus employment to work terms around the world.

egg s ms. Operations in the ocean andArctic rontiers require specialist technical knowledge, novel operationaltechniques and innovative technology. Our long-standing relationship withthe North Atlantic is being levered to address the new challenges o operatingpetroleum installations, vessels o all sorts and subsea systems in these rontierregions. Advanced hydrodynamics and ice engineering will be importantor new developments, particularly as industry moves north and into deeperwaters, as well as or the sae operation o existing installations. This includesthe design o structures, vessels, risers and pipelines that can operate in rough

sea conditions and ice conditions.

os g. Petroleum resource exploration and development is a keypart o the provincial economy. The research in the aculty covers all stages ooshore operations rom exploration and exploitation through to processing othe petroleum. This includes a ocus on ocean engineering and ocean technology,asset integrity in cold and harsh environments, sustainable processing onatural resources, as well as eorts to enhance reservoir recovery rates andreduce drilling technology costs. Other research work in this area is ocused onenvironmental issues, such as those arising rom operational impacts associatedwith discharges o produced water, as well as green process engineering. By itsvery nature oshore energy requires cross-disciplinary work within the Faculty

o Engineering and Applied Science and with other aculties and departments.

The aculty has ostered research programs to develop innovativemethodologies and technologies to prevent threats and impacts rom arising,to protect the environment rom threats and damage and to reverse damagealready done. The ocal areas include clean water supply, integrated waterresources management, bioremediation in cold regions, persistent organicpollution control, oshore/mining waste management, decision makingunder uncertainty, Arctic and Subarctic wetland hydrology, climate change,

hydrological modelling, coastal and marine pollution mitigation and riskmanagement.

ig ssms um. Intelligent systems are likely to havetransormative impacts across dierent sectors. For example, intelligentsystems can be used in automating processes in the ood industry; theywill become increasingly important in applications such as unmannedaerial surveillance, unmanned underground mining and ocean observationmissions. Intelligent systems and automation can be brought to bearon issues such as the development o gas o the coast o Labrador inthe orm o remotely operated petroleum production installations.

One o the goals o Memorials Faculty o Engineering and Applied Science is toattract and retain top-rate researchers and graduate students at all levels to theaculty.

pss mm s. Memorials Faculty o Engineering and AppliedScience has developed strengths in oshore process saety and maritime saety.Process saety, risk management and the design o inherently saer installationsand operations are o growing interest worldwide and have the potential tobring signicant benets to the local processing industries. Similarly, whilemaritime and oshore personnel saety is o special interest to this region,the research work in the aculty is applicable on an international stage.

a g. Research is ongoing in major areas o alternative

energy: hydro power, wind energy and biouels. Hydro power playsan important part in the provincial and national energy matrix. Windenergy resources have also attracted research eorts, particularlyin energy distribution and the integration o power generation.

Sus suu. Climate change and energy issues will continueto shape broad social and economic behaviour and policy. The builtinrastructure, rom road networks to amily homes, will be transormedin the next ew decades. This transormation will have to be done in thecontext o sustainable design and operation. This is emerging as a majorcross-disciplinary initiative in the aculty, which will help our students thenext generation o engineers to realize their aspirations or a healthy uture.

Wss mmu. Wireless communication is an established researchocus and has resulted in the development o the Advanced WirelessCommunication Research Laboratory. The laboratory supports research inthe emerging multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), co-operative diversityand cognitive and intelligent radio systems areas. Other eorts in this areahave highlighted the investigation o privacy issues surrounding wirelesscommunications. Wireless has a particular application to rontier oil and gasdevelopment. The ability to transmit through ice, remote operations, andunmanned systems will require innovative approaches in wireless technology.
