The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology has received $1.4M from the Government of Canada to establish an aerospace composite materials laboratory. The lab will feature state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing equipment and will host a team of researchers and engineers who conduct pioneering work in aerospace manufacturing. “Equipped with advanced technology and a skilled research team, this lab will drive new levels of performance and environmental responsibility across the aerospace sector,” said SAIT’s Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Chair Dr Hamid Rajani. This federal investment, made through PrairiesCan, aims to enhance the competitiveness of Alberta’s aerospace and aviation industry.
