For Mahdi Alquzweeni, engineering has always been more than just an academic interest. From an early age, he was drawn to mathematics and physics — not simply because he excelled in the subjects, but because they offered a way to understand how things worked. While he grew up surrounded by writers, poets, and artists, Mahdi found his own creativity in solving technical problems and exploring how physical principles translate into real-world systems.

Since its creation in 2012, the annual Adrian D. C. Chan Award for Volunteer and Community Service has recognized undergraduate and graduate students from the Faculty of Engineering and Design who demonstrate outstanding commitment to both the university and the broader community. This award recognizes that engineering is practiced not only in classrooms and laboratories but also wherever knowledge is put to work in the service of others.

This year, the award was presented to two students whose paths reflect purpose-driven leadership, social awareness and a deep dedication to building community.

Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters on the planet. They typically happen when the tectonic plates that form the Earth’s outer shell, which are in constant motion, get stuck against each other. Pressure builds where these massive slabs of rock meet until it becomes too intense and the plates slip, releasing a massive amount of energy that creates seismic waves.

As with all cancers, early detection can lead to less aggressive and more successful treatment, but current diagnostic methods are problematic. Men deemed at-risk undergo a series of tests, including bloodwork and an MRI. If the results are concerning, the next step is typically a targeted biopsy, during which doctors use an ultrasound probe to essentially “guess” where the MRI-identified lesion may be and insert a needle into the prostate to take a tissue sample for analysis.

When Nikita Patkin arrived at Ӱԭ University in Fall 2025, he brought with him years of experience working on aircraft — and a desire to move beyond maintaining complex machines to designing them. Now a student in the Mechanical stream of Ӱԭ’s Master of Engineering Practice (EP) program, Nikita is building new technical skills while embracing student life in residence, forming friendships across cultures, and discovering what it means to be part of a campus community. We sat down with Nikita to talk about his journey to Canada, his experience in EP, and how living on campus has shaped his time at Ӱԭ so far.
