Camosun Technology Access Centre

卡莫森学院很高兴获得自然科学与工程研究委员会（NSERC）技术访问中心（TAC）的第二个五年拨款，以支持卡莫森技术访问中心（CTAC）的持续成功。这个卓越的先进制造、原型设计、自动化、机器人、复合材料和人类性能中心一直是camosun innovations为当地公司和社区合作伙伴提供创新服务的支柱。卡莫森学院位于美丽的不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚。我们的两个校区每年为大约19,000名学员提供证书、文凭、学士学位和继续教育课程。而且，作为一所大学，我们的影响远远超出了我们高技能的、准备就业的毕业生。我们为本地企业提供合约培训机会；为工业提供研究、创新和原型设计服务；以及为雇主提供训练有素的带薪实习学生。Camosun拥有900多名员工，年度预算为1.23亿美元，是我们社区的顶级雇主之一，每年为我省带来近10亿美元的经济影响。卡莫森技术访问中心（CTAC）是我们社区和学院内创新的典范。CTAC已成为本地中小企业创新的重要催化剂，通过提供实用的创新支持，为他们的成长和发展做出了重大贡献。CTAC还在提高教师与现实世界项目的参与度方面发挥着重要作用，同时让我们的学生接触到努力解决行业和社区挑战的现实应用学习项目。学院已经开始建设新的加拿大巴布科克互动实验室，这将是CTAC的新家。学院已获得西部经济发展资助，以协助这些创新，学院承诺在16/17财政年度拨款304,000美元，在17/18财政年度拨款282,000美元，以支持该CTAC空间的发展。巴布科克加拿大公司慷慨地同意捐赠80万美元，为ctac的新家提供设备。这个空间几乎是CTAC原有空间的三倍，拥有最先进的设备、办公空间和实验室设施。扩建中还包括一座额外的独立建筑，将容纳ctac新的复合材料研究与教育实验室，这是一个专门用于研究和制造复合材料的空间。
