ASET Technology Alberta Spring 2023 - 34

Capstones the focus of autumn 2022 media activity
 BY MICHELE PENZ
FOLLOWING A SUCCESSFUL, PROVINCE-WIDE media
campaign about ASET's announcement of a fee waiver for
engineering technology professionals with refugee status,
ASET's media relations efforts in the fall of 2022 quickly pivoted
to the Capstone Project of the Year Award.
A series of back-to-back media campaigns was launched in
late September 2022 with Red Deer media immediately taking
a shine to a solar panel clean machine project: a pneumatic
air blast cleaning system for solar panels invented by
a former team of Red Deer Polytechnic engineering technology
students. Among the clean machine's perks are that
it requires minimal maintenance, needs no water supply, is
cost-effective, simple to install and fully automated, and has
the potential to be powered by the same solar panel system
it is designed to clean.
Thanks to former team members having connections
to communities beyond Red Deer, coverage was more
expansive than expected. The story was reported by
rdnewsNOW, Red Deer Advocate, CTV News Red Deer,
LacombeOnline, Lacombe Express, Stettler Independent,
Castor Advance, Bashaw Star, Wetaskiwin Times, Leduc
Rep, and Pipestone Flyer.
Lassie 2.0, a life alert system for humans that can be activated
by a service dog in the event of an emergency, pawed
up significant coverage, including prominent articles in print
editions and online in the Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald,
Edmonton Sun, and Calgary Sun. The story was also spotlighted
on Global Edmonton's Global News Hour at 6 Health
Matters and CHQR's Mornings with Sue and Andy.
Created by a former team of NAIT biomedical engineering
technology students, Lassie 2.0 also succeeded in jumping
provincial boundaries, resulting in coverage on CKNW The
Jill Bennett Show (Corus Vancouver), CBC Daybreak North
(Prince George), Quesnel Cariboo Observer, MyCaribooNow,
MyBulkleyLakesNow, and MyPrinceGeorgeNow.
Shortly after Hurricane Ian tragically caused massive destruction
in Florida and neighbouring coastal states, a campaign
about a project from Lethbridge College that tested
the strength of different roof truss to top plate connections
proved timely. The work of the former civil engineering
technology team yielded coverage by Lethbridge Herald,
LethbridgeNewsNow, Medicine Hat News, Bridge City
News, Associated Press, Yahoo! News Canada, Okotoks
Online, HighRiverOnline, CTV News Calgary, CTV News
Lethbridge, OkotoksTODAY, Western Wheel, and - surprisingly
- Penticton Herald.
Micro Scaled Compressed Air Energy Storage System
(CAES), a project that explored how to store energy generated
by renewable energy resources for time periods of
non-generation or when peak demand is in effect, caught
the interest of Red Deer media. The former Red Deer Polytechnic
engineering technology students behind the project
were featured in Red Deer Advocate and rdnewsNOW.
A road network analysis of emergency services project
produced by a team of former Lethbridge College geomatics
engineering technology students won the Capstone
Project of the Year Award and scored coverage on CTV
News Lethbridge.
The 2023 Capstone Project of the
Year Award finalists will be formally
announced next autumn, including
through a series of media campaigns.
