Ibarra Sabrina, B.Eng: Mechanical Engineering (Completion Date: May 2012) Sabrina studied Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University with a specialization in Aerospace and Propulsion. She worked on the design of the vacuum system setup in the electron accelerator project as well as designing the accelerator exit window and analyzing the load stresses on different support structures. Over her four years of engineering studies, she accumulated experience in the aerospace industry; first by participating in university organizations such as SAE Aero Design and CIADI and later on by working at aerospace companies such as Rolls-Royce Canada and Bombardier Aerospace. After graduating in Spring 2012, she is set up to continue her work with the Learjet 85 team at Bombardier Aerospace. |

Jacobs Stephen, B.Eng: Mechanical Engineering (Completion date: May 2012) Stephen has previously studied Automation & Robotics and worked for 8 years in both the manufacturing sector and in teaching PLC programming at a college in Ontario. He returned to school, specializing in the Design and Manufacturing option in Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University. For this Capstone project Stephen's primary focus was on the design and build of the electromagnet system used to bend the trajectory of the electron beam. |

Saleh Jad, B.Eng: Mechanical Engineering (Completion date: May 2012) Jad studied Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University and specialized in the Systems and Mechatronics option. He was the team leader for the electron accelerator project. He ensured that all the project’s goals and deadlines were met successfully, while designing the vacuum system and the electron emitting cathode/anode setup. He also did all the CAD drawings for the setup. After getting his engineering degree from Concordia in Spring 2012, Jad plans on getting the work experience required for applying to an MBA program in a top 25 University, and hopes to run a company of his own someday in the future. |

Zacchia Nicholas, B.Eng: Mechanical Engineering (Completion date: May 2012) Nick Zacchia is a mechanical engineering student with an interest in robotics, physics and philosophy. His degree specialization is in mechatronics and controls. He worked on the design and construction of the high voltage acceleration system, the electron emitting cathode/anode setup as well as overseeing much of the safety on the device. After getting his engineering degree from Concordia in Spring 2012, Nick plans to pursue Ph.D. studies in nanoscience. His eventual goal is to become a university professor so that he can transmit his love of science and engineering to the next generation of researchers. |
