The following day in Seattle, Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA), the world- renowned engineering firm behind the SpeedCore design, took the Steel Centre backstage to see the construction in progress and hear more about the design challenges in developing the SpeedCore system, providing a great learning opportunity to see this innovative system from start to finish. The week’s events were overwhelmingly positive, and students have brought home a wealth of new ideas and inspiration. Thank you to the many hosts—including Steel Centre members Supreme Group, S-Frame Software, and DIALOG—who gave up work time and weekends to invest in this upcoming generation of structural engineers. Thanks also go to George Third and Son, Dr. Tony Yang at UBC, RJC, Glotman Simpson, Dynamic Attractions, LifeTec, Legacy Engineering, Solid Rock Steel, and Bush, Bohlman and Partners. Shortly after returning home to Edmonton, the SuperTour was capped with a special visit to the University of Alberta by Ron Klemencic, MKA’s chairman and CEO. Ron spent two days exclusively with the Steel Centre to share his expertise, including a keynote presentation for the public at the facility of Steel Centre founding member Supreme Group in Acheson, AB. Ron’s passion for engineering was evident in his many conversations with students. He freely shared his experiences, pulling out actual work samples to help explain a point. Ron showed the importance of combining technical engineering skills and higher-order thinking to work collaboratively and challenge ideas in order to create some of the world’s most ambitious projects. www.rjc.ca Vancouver • Victoria • Nanaimo • Kelowna • Calgary • Edmonton • Lethbridge • Toronto • Ottawa • Kitchener • Kingston Delivering engineering excellence on award winning designs for 70 years.
