Sustainability smarts won national honours for a University of Guelph team of engineering students last month. Lindsay Mooradian, Amanda Rhodes, Nirmal Shah and Stuart West won the Sustainability Award at the Canadian Engineering Competition in Vancouver.

The annual contest draws competing universities from across Canada.

That national award followed the Guelph team’s first-place finish in the consulting engineering category at the Ontario Engineering Competition in February.

The team from Guelph’s School of Engineering designed a hypothetical waste management plan for a city of about one million people.
