CUEL-EF Recipients Announced
Teaching and Learning Services is pleased to announce the recipients of the Carleton University Experiential Learning Equipment Fund (CUEL-EF). This year’s competition was made possible through Carleton University’s successful application to the province’s 2025-26 Training Equipment and Renewal Fund (TERF), which provided dedicated funding to enhance experiential learning opportunities through investments in teaching and learning equipment and infrastructure.
Together, these projects will create new opportunities for students to learn through hands-on, authentic, and technology-enhanced experiences. Recipients include Aubrey Anable (Film), Adam Barrows (English), Shaghayegh Gomar (Systems and Computer Engineering), Kevin Graham (Physics), Fidel Khouli (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Iain McKinnell (Biology), Stefy McKnight (Media Production and Design), Koreen Millard (Geography and Environmental Studies), Christopher Rowley (Chemistry), and Allan Thompson (Journalism).
Funded projects span four broad themes. Emerging technologies and digital creativity projects include motion-capture technology for digital theatre performance, historic video game collections for media history and AI literacy, 3D model-making technologies for immersive storytelling, and mobile-first journalism production tools. Advanced STEM learning environments will support hands-on learning in computer engineering, avionics, physics, and materials chemistry through investments in specialized laboratory equipment and new laboratory experiences. Environmental and field-based learning projects will expand student access to advanced remote-sensing and environmental monitoring technologies. Finally, inclusion and student success initiatives will enhance anatomy education through the acquisition of more representative anatomical models that better reflect the diversity of the communities students will serve.
