Makenna, who is a student at the University of Manitoba in the fifth year of the mechanical engineering program, received scholarships from sponsors Uponor and the MCAC Associates Council. She has developed an interest in heat transfer and fluid mechanics which, coupled with her industry experience, allowed her to complete two HVAC design projects.
Makenna is an active member of MCA Manitoba’s Student Chapter at the University of Manitoba, and the current president and former vice-president of the University of Manitoba chapter of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering. The group “advocates for student involvement in the MCAM chapter and holds joint promotional activities to generate interest and involvement in the mechanical and contracting industries,” says Makenna.
Makenna is looking forward to beginning her career in the mechanical contracting industry with a position in engineering technical sales.
