The MITACS Summer School in Industrial Mathematics, taking place July 14 - August 8, 2008, brings together Canadian and International undergraduate students interested in graduate school to undertake mathematical research on real-world problems in a team setting. The school lasts for a one month period with students working in teams of five under the guidance of a subject area expert mentor. Problems are submitted by Canadian industry, research labs, government, and other not-for-profit organizations and chosen to be fun and challenging yet fun while requiring a multi-disciplinary approach.
Everyone is aware that BC organizations must improve their productivity – whether it relates to materials, people or processes. Determining the best way to improve productivity is the hard part. Often managers are not sure where to begin or which path to take to get the best results. That’s where these “How To” workshops are an invaluable aid. They are designed for the Practitioner – the one who actually makes it happen. The workshops identify where improvements can take place and how to actually implement them.
