In 2001, he joined the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta where he holds the NSERC industrial research chair in petroleum thermodynamics. During his career he has developed expertise in the phase behavior, physiochemical and transport prop- erties of hydrocarbon mixtures from coal liquids, heavy oils and condensate rich reservoir fluids to pure compounds. This led to the establishment of an NSERC (like NSF in the USA) Industrial Research Chair in 2001, a rare honour at that time. He has held visiting scientist/professor positions at the Technical Uni- versity of Delft (Delft, The Netherlands), the Institut Francais du

In order to increase the interest of students—particularly those who areunderrepresented—in engineering and science as fields of study and as future careeropportunities, students must see the relevance of what they are learning to the real world, and beable to see themselves filling such roles in the future world. The study of real-world contextssuch as the local environment or global contexts has been found to increase students’engagement, enthusiasm, and achievement [12, 13]. An emphasis on the

A Qualitative Study on the Media and Perceptions of Engineers While a significant amount of television air time is dedicated to dramatizing careers,engineering careers seem somewhat vacant from the prime time line up. Many studies have beenconducted to look at the impact of popular television shows on how people view careerprofessionals but little has been done to look at the impact of popular media on people’s views ofengineers. This pilot study looked at the impact of viewing popular media articles that focus onengineering characters on a person’s perception of an engineer. The
