Alumni Achievements
MOMENT ENERGY
Moment Energy, a once-small startup, has swiftly evolved into a prominent player in the green tech industry. Founded in 2020 by four alumni of SFU's Mechatronic Systems Engineering program, the company has grown to a team of 40, headquartered in Coquitlam. Their success is underscored by recent achievements, including a spot on the global Cleantech 100 list and an $800,000 contract with Vancouver International Airport to build an energy storage system for their electric vehicle fleet.
Dropsy Kikabou
Improving processes in developing countries is one of the things on Dropsy Kikabou’s idea-packed mind. The fourth-year student from the Republic of Congo came to Vancouver in 2009 to take a short course in English (ESL program) and discovered SFU’s mechatronic systems engineering program. Six years later, Kikabou is nearing graduation and ready to put his skills into action.
Jessica Peare
Jessica Peare wants to take her passion for aerospace engineering to new heights, whether she's sitting in the cockpit or controlling an unmanned vehicle from below. The mechatronic systems engineering student, who earned her pilot’s license at age 18, is a member of SFU’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle team: Team GUARDIAN.
Rame Putris
Fourth-year mechatronic systems engineering student Rame Putris is a member of the Technology Entrepreneurship@SFU (Tech e@SFU) initiative. The program, launched in 2012 in partnership with BCIC, Ken Spencer, the Faculty of Applied Sciences and the Beedie School of Business, brings together the best and brightest students to develop entrepreneurially promising and scientifically sound ideas.
Leonie & Kyle Tharratt
It started with a goldfish. Husband and wife graduands Kyle and Leonie Tharratt, who met at SFU and married in 2013, received the unwanted pet from a family friend. Four years later, they are keen aquarists with 13 fish (and a colony of shrimp)—a passion that inspired their mechatronic systems engineering final-year capstone project.
