Sommers Awards Recognize Student Achievement
Two students from the Electrical Engineering Technology Program at Conestoga College were recognized for outstanding achievement as winners of the Kay & Wes Sommers Award at the program’s recent graduation ceremonies in Kitchener, Ontario. Thayse Farias received her award for achievement in the Process Control section of Electrical Engineering Technology studies, while David Vos was the recipient of the award for studies in Alternative Energy. Since 1987, the Wes and Kay Sommers Awards are presented annually to the top students who demonstrate a positive attitude towards learning, high academic excellence and an outstanding ability to achieve the program’s objectives. The awards are sponsored by Sommers Motor Generator Sales Ltd., which was established by Kay and Wes Sommers in 1936 and is today Canada’s leading manufacturer of standby and prime power systems. Conestoga has offered Electrical Engineering Technology students a choice of options in Process Control and Alternative Energy since 2008. The Process Control stream qualifies graduates in traditional technologist roles related to automating the operation and control of manufacturing and assembly systems. The Alternative Energy option was introduced to focus on technologies for alternative energy production including wind power, photovoltaic (solar) cells, geothermal, biomass and micro-hydro. Kenneth Sommers, president and son of the company’s founders and his wife, Bobbi, presented the awards. “Recognizing talented young people like this is a great way for Sommers to celebrate its 75th year of advancing power technology,” he said. “We’re very pleased to have such an opportunity to support the future of our industry in Canada.” |
