A Brief History of the School of Engineering Science and Mobile Robotic Group
The School was established by Dr. Don George of Carleton University and Dr. Tom Calvert of Simon Fraser University in 1983 and set out to be a distinctive engineering program for educating innovative engineer-scientists with entrepreneurial skills and attitudes oriented to the advanced technologies (Systems, Communications, and Microelectronics).
September 1983, 1st and 2nd year undergraduate classes of 33 and 25 students, respectively, admitted;
June 1986, accredited by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers and first B.A.Sc degrees awarded;
September 1987, First students admitted to the Master of Applied Science Program;
June 1989, first M.A.Sc. degree awarded;
September 1990, first students admitted to the Ph.D. program;
June 1993, first Ph.D. degree awarded.
The Mobile Robotics Group (MRG) is a group of Engineering Science and Computing Science students with special interests in robotics. The MRG built "Micro-Giraffe" and "Macro-Dog". And was the winner of the MicroMouse competition and the BEAM Robot Olympics, Toronto, 1992 and 1993.
