Manitoba Hydro

 Manitoba Hydro is the province’s sole electrical and natural gas utility, evolving from the Winnipeg Gas Company founded in 1873 to its present state where it operates 16 hydroelectric generating stations and almost 11 000 km of transmission and distribution pipelines. These generating stations range as far north as the Lower Nelson River near the town of Gillam, and as far south as Seven Sisters. Harnessing the flow of the Nelson, Laurie, and Winnipeg Rivers, they boast a generating capacity of 6 100 megawatts. For reference, just over 11 000 watts can supply power to a single home.

 To this end, Manitoba Hydro employs the largest group of electrical, civil, and mechanical engineers of any company in the province. From transmission line engineering to operations studies to generation design, and beyond, Manitoba Hydro works to deliver reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy to its customers. It also provides an engineer-in-training rotation program to expose new graduates to various departments within the corporation.

After the presentation, we will apply the lessons in a one-hour Le Mans-style kart race at Speedworld! Teams assigned to each kart will race against each other to complete as many laps as possible before time runs out!

 

Teams will be a mix of SAE students, professional SAE members, and other guests. This is a great networking opportunity for students and professionals alike!

 

Our Speaker

Corey Dyck is a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the U of Manitoba. While working in the heavy-duty transit industry, he's pursued amateur motorsports as a passion for over 20 years now. Corey has won a few Canadian National Championships and has placed in the top 10 in US National competitions in his chosen sport of autocross. He's created, refined, and instructed at a local autocross racing school that has helped hundreds of drivers reach their personal goals in amateur motorsports over the past 20+ years.

State Industries

In 1969 Stan Baldwin started State Industries, a polyurethane parts manufacturer. Stan quickly saw the growing market for durable cast polyurethane elastomer products in various industrial applications. As the company began to grow, so did its list of services. In 1992, a joint venture was established with Rollerblade to manufacture in-line skate wheels for international markets.  Virtually overnight State Industries became a major manufacturer of wheels in North America. At the same time the industrial division of State Industries grew rapidly, and new techniques and methods were developed to produce more complex parts for various applications, outside of strictly polyurethane parts, leading to the establishment of StateCraft Architectural Fabricators.  
StateCraft, a rebranded subsidiary of State Industries, was created in response to a niche market demand for custom architectural fabrication using waterjet cutting technology that was previously considered cost prohibitive. Waterjet cutting technology has the ability to cut precise designs and intricate shapes from almost any material by using a thin, high pressure, high velocity stream of water.  
By the late 1990’s, with the bulk of skate wheel production moved offshore, most of the employees in the wheel division, who had years of valuable cast experience were transferred to StateMix, and the new company was born. StateMix has become a major competitor in equipment design and manufacturing of polyurethane dispensers and ancillary equipment serving markets all over the globe. With R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution all under one roof, StateMix is now venturing outside of traditional polyurethane market segments to provide industrial process automation in a variety of industries including composites, aerospace, and battery manufacturing to name a few.
