The University of Northern
British Columbia has received a
$28,800 grant from the Science
Council of British Columbia to
link course content with local
industries.

“This funding is being used to
implement industrially oriented
project courses and we are seeking
partnerships with industries in
northern BC,” says Chemistry
professor Margot Mandy, who
prepared the proposal with
Computer Science professors
Charles Brown and Wagar Haque.

Local industries are invited to
submit projects that involve

computer science, especially the
application of database
technology. A small team

of fourth-year students will work
on the project as part of their
requirements for completion of the
course. Students will apply to work
on the project.

“Projects such as these give
students experience in applying the
concepts they learn in the
classroom,” says Dr Mandy. “In
addition to Computer Science, we
are seeking projects for industrially
oriented courses in Chemistry,
Physics, and Mathematics. Our
goal is to make this an ongoing

project with local industry.”

The grant will be used to support
the acquisition of additional
computer workstations, software,
student incentives, and some
teaching relief for the project
leaders.

Local industry representatives
who have ideas for database
projects that will enhance the
productivity of their organization,
can contact Dr Mandy, Brown, or
Haque at the University’s Prince
George campus.
