The Engineers Canada Leadership Scholarship consists of eight scholarships of $4,000 each annually to provide financial assistance to undergraduate students in CEAB-accredited engineering programs. These scholarships are awarded to undergraduate engineering students returning in the fall who have completed one year of engineering studies and who demonstrate potential to be leaders in advancing engineering in Canada. The Engineers Canada Leadership Scholarship recognizes undergraduate engineering students who demonstrate great potential to be leaders in advancing engineering in Canada. Konrad Jasman is one of the recipients of this valuable scholarship in 2024.
Konrad Jasman significantly expanded a university student club in the first year of his leadership. In 2021, Konrad became Vice-Chair of the University of Victoria’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Student Branch. The group began with less than 10 members and grew to 140 In Konrad’s third term. In recognition of these achievements, their student branch was awarded the “Exemplary Student Branch” award in 2023. Konrad has since retired from the Student Branch to focus on building his technical skills as a leader in the machine learning industry. Currently, Jasman serves as the team lead for the Ocean Eye project within the SOLIDS Lab at the University of Victoria, leading a team of undergraduate students to build a computer vision application in consultation with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
