a cribbage board — but it wasn’t just any crib
board. It was tooled here at SAIT by Ben Kohlen,
Manufacturing and Automation instructor in the
new Gene Haas Foundation CNC Labs.

Kohlen’s task was made much easier thanks to
SAIT’s new Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
Labs. The CNC Labs are housed in the Thomas
Riley Building, a building that was renovated as
part of the Trades and Technology Complex project
through the Promising FuturesTM Campaign.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 2019

Digital Technologies in Energy, Graduate
Certificate – Designed for professionals who
want to expand their energy-related fields
into digital projects, automation, application
deployment, infrastructure optimization and
data analytics. This is vital in a sector that is
continuously introducing new technology in
the field.

Integrated Water Management – Water
management is vital in every aspect of the
energy industry. Graduates will be the next
generation of project managers dealing with
complex water challenges. Skills in this area
are in great demand and this will be the only
program of its kind in Canada.

Other key focus areas include renewables
and sustainability, further regulatory
training, and Indigenous program
development to name but a few.

Joseph Hall, first-year Civil Engineering from the ground up.
Technology student, says, “In the Home Lab we
get to see, feel and touch the things we’ve been
learning in the classroom. When we are hands on,
it’s very easy to learn.”

Hall worked in commercial and infrastructure
construction for 15 years before coming to SAIT
to earn his credentials. “The fine details I’m
learning at SAIT will be useful and apply to any
type of construction.”

Joshua Will, first-year Architectural Technologies

in the Home Lab is invaluable. When I work on
drawings in AutoCAD, I can picture the house in
my mind because I’ve been inside it — physically.
This gives us great practical experience.”
