    April 8, 2024, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

    Drop by and check out some of the exciting projects Cambrian R&D has undertaken this past year! Students and industry partners will be on hand to talk further about these partnerships. And, of course, innovation goes better with popcorn, so grab a bag and tour our Research Showcase.

"Through applied research, I’ve been able to do a lot of cool welding that I didn’t even do yet in my program, and because of that I’ve been able to excel in my classes much quicker than if I didn’t have this opportunity."

Brandon Perron

"We cover everything from agriculture and food production to mining. All of our projects involve staff, faculty and, most importantly, students."
