Dr. Altintas awarded Killam Teaching Prize

April 20, 2011

Dr.Yusuf Altintas will be awarded a Killam Teaching Prize in recognition of his outstanding teaching. Not only does Dr. Altintas consistently earn accolades from students for his classroom performance, he has also been very active in curriculum development. Shortly after he joined the Department Dr. Altintas developed the CAA (Computer-aided Automation) Option. Over time this option involved into the prize-winning EMEC program, which was a combined B.A.Sc./M.Eng. program. More recently, at the time that Doubling the Opportunity was implemented, Dr. Altintas expanded and broadened EMEC and, with the assistance of Drs. Elizabeth Croft and Robert Rohling and more recently Dr. Xio-Dong Lu, EMEC morphed into our modern Mechatronics Option.

Congratulations Dr. Altintas

    Hi Yusuf,
    On behalf of the management of Advanced Integration Technology receive our congratulations.

    We had an opportunity to meet with Anoush Poursartip at our company yesterday. He was nicely surprised with our capabilities, knowledge and expertise. He highly referred us to contact you for our possible implementations of your CAA options.

    I’d appreciate to have an opportunity to discuss details about these opportunities with you. Please note that I’m planning to be at UBC on June 14th, 3:00 pm as I have registered for a Mechanical Engineering tour on that day.

    Regards,
