The Project
The Project
Classrooms have direct visibility into the laboratories.
Steam turbine generators, high pressure boilers and turbine steam condensers are aligned as in an actual oils sands facility.
The OpportunityLocally trained graduates are more likely to stay, work and live in the oilsands region. The Oilsands Power & Process Engineering Laboratory will provide our industry partners with access to skilled employees with a solid understanding of oilsands operations - without the added costs of outside recruitment.
