All seven Capstone
Projects achieve
positive media exposure
during autumn/winter
2021 campaigns
A second set of Capstone Project of the Year Award finalists
and winners captured the media spotlight in autumn
and early winter of 2021. The bonus round of media efforts
followed close on the heels of the first group of campaigns
launched earlier in the spring and summer. While it was unprecedented
to promote two separate Capstone competitions
in one year, it reflected a strategic move on the part of
ASET to engineer a shift in the annual timing of the award.
In previous years, ASET shortlisted finalists and revealed
them in the fall edition of Technology Alberta. However,
the announcement of the actual winner was delayed
until the following spring in order to sync with the annual
ASET Awards. This resulted in a time lag of several
months, making it challenging for ASET to engage former
Capstone Project team members in media campaigns to
publicize them.
ASET has since rejigged the schedule so that Capstone
finalists and winners are presented in the same year and
time period.

Because of this change, the autumn/winter 2021 Capstone
Project of the Year Award media campaigns enjoyed participation
from all seven finalist teams.
First out of the gate were projects from former SAIT and Red
Deer Polytechnic students. A cost-effective and energy-efficient
way to retrofit an industrial boiler was the brainchild
of two SAIT electrical engineering technology students,
David Kaytor and Jason Single. The story received media
coverage in Kaytor's home community of Cochrane, namely
in the Cochrane Eagle, CochraneNow and CochraneTODAY.
A bright idea from a former Red Deer Polytechnic team - a
clip-type mounting system that makes installation of solar
panels easier, safer and less expensive - put them in the local
limelight. Former engineering technology students Dean
Lunde, Alex Morrison, Ethan Fisher, and Ken Wright were
featured in the Red Deer Advocate, rdnewsNOW, and Sylvan
Lake News, and on CHQR Mornings with Sue & Andy and
CTV News Red Deer.
The COVIDIAN, a health self-assessment tool that serves as
a one-stop shop for helping mitigate the spread of COVID-19
and other viruses, appealed to Edmonton and St. Albert
press. Invented by former NAIT biomedical engineering technology
students Mohamad Abou-Alwan, Jarod Tracy, Jacob
Marte, and Filip Radovic, the story appeared on Global News
Hour at 6 Edmonton, CTV Edmonton CTV News at Six, CTV
news website, 100.3 The Bear website, Virgin Radio website,
and in the St. Albert Gazette and St. Albert Today.
