Nait Celebrates the grand opening of the Shell Manufacturing Centre

The unique new centre will help develop the next generation of skilled workers and enhance manufacturers’ productivity

November 29, 2007 – The NAIT Shell Manufacturing Centre is the first in Canada to link productivity enhancement services with manufacturing solutions. The centre will be a one-stop shop for manufactures to receive services and exposure to leading edge technology.

“Canadian businesses face significant challenges to reduce operational costs and improve performance,” says Dr. Sam Shaw, NAIT’s President and CEO. “This centre provides them with the equipment, expertise, innovation and training needed to compete globally.”

About 400 students a year will use the centre to train in state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies. The students will be from mechanical engineering technology, computer systems technology, applied information systems technology, electronics engineering technology and NAIT’s new Bachelor of Technology Degree program.

“This Centre will help develop the next generation of skilled workers, “says Dr. Shaw. “The students will gain the knowledge, the expertise and skills to improve productivity and help their firms become more innovative.”

The Centre will explore the use of advanced technologies such as rapid prototyping, laser cutting, welding robotics and radio frequency identification devices (RFID) for data collection and monitoring of the production process.

Shell invested $2.5 million in the creation of the Centre and put $500,000 towards trades bursaries and entrance scholarships for students pursuing apprenticeship and technical training.
