SMP Engineering (Electrical)

In 2021, our firm was chosen to explore the integration of over 400 solar panels for the façade of the Social Sciences building at the University of Calgary. Our team undertook a comprehensive site evaluation, solar output simulation, and panel placement strategy, leading to a total overhaul of the main electrical system. The results of our work successfully merged engineering and sustainability. We were able to modernize the University's infrastructure while providing a beautifully revitalized façade that can offset 90% of the energy the building requires in one day. "Solar doesn't have to be ugly, it can be exciting, it can be part of your design elements. It does really show we can make pretty buildings and also make them functional". - Greg Pink, Electrical Project Manager for Social Sciences - Façade Replacements Thank you to our project partners: University of Calgary, GGA-Architecture, RemedyEngineering, SkyFire Energy Inc, Trotter & Morton Group of Companies, EllisDon, Entuitive. We are proud to have supported The University of Calgary in their zero carbon goals. #sustainability #solarenergy #solarpanels #electricalengineering #yyc #calgary #smpengineering

SMP Engineering recently celebrated International Women in Engineering Day, intended to honor and raise the profile of women who are contributing to and evolving the field of engineering. Three of our incredible staff members describe their experience and the importance of WIE Day, including our Summer Intern and Women in Engineering Scholarship recipient, Shannon Wong. "I am entering my third year of electrical engineering at the University of Calgary. Despite facing discrimination and bias as a woman of color, I remain committed to obtaining my degree and P.Eng designation. As President of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) at UCalgary, I advocate for inclusivity and empowerment. Women in Engineering Day symbolizes both progress and ongoing challenges for women in the field. I am extremely thankful to be a recipient of the SMP Women in Engineering award. This award symbolizes SMP’s support and commitment to promoting women in engineering. I am grateful to SMP for recognizing my hard work and dedication to my community." -Shannon Wong, Summer Intern “Many women now make significant contributions to the consulting engineering industry. As an electrical engineer-in-training, I’ve often felt like an outsider in a male-dominated field. However, the encouragement from those around me has strengthened my determination. I hope my journey serves as a reminder to other women that we are surrounded by supportive people who want to see us succeed. Together, we positively contribute to the engineering industry and should continue encouraging other women to participate as well.” -Nadia Duarte Amador, Junior Electrical Designer "We know that little girls show a great interest in the sciences, but that interest greatly reduces as they grow and when the time comes to choose a career path, they are not likely to choose engineering. It can be daunting to investigate a field you might be interested in and see only people who don’t look like you. It can make you feel like you don’t belong. By highlighting the women in this industry, it shows younger generations that there is a place for them here. There is a place for them to belong and succeed. My hope is that at least one girl is inspired to pursue this field when they see the women already here and how they are succeeding." -Tanya Steeves, Project Manager #WIEday #internationalwomeninengineeringday #womeninengineering #womeninstem #electricalengineering #smpengineering
