The Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) partnered with the SAE Foundation Canada, Bruce Aubin and the Belfry family in 2017 to offer undergraduate scholarships in transportation and mobility engineering, and an award for university students™ outstanding aerospace design.  

Since 2022, the CAE has added three Nation-Building Scholarships. The Nation-Building Scholarships series has been established by the Canadian Academy of Engineering in recognition of the important role played by engineers in the building of our nation given the social and technical challenges created by the geographical extent of the country, its low population density and its northern climate. The Nation-Building Scholarships are funded through the generous donations of Fellows of the Academy. 

This scholarship program is sponsored by The Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Society of Automotive Engineers, through the generous support of Mr. Bruce R. Aubin, ing, FCAE. Mr. Aubin, retired after 40 years of service with Air Canada. He has been widely recognized in the field of Air Transportation for his initiatives and contribution to the operation of commercial aircraft and the safety of flight. In particular, he was instrumental in revising aircraft maintenance procedures which are still used in aircraft certification to-day. He has dedicated over 50 years of service to the advancement of aerospace engineering. Mr. Aubin was extremely active in the SAE, holding leadership positions such as Chair of the SAE Aerospace Program Office, serving as the 1993 SAE President and subsequently President of the SAE Foundation Canada. He was instrumental in establishing the CAE Scholarship program.  

** Candidates should have unique and outstanding leadership skills as demonstrated in project teams or other initiatives working on aeronautics projects. They should have an interest in pursuing a career in the aerospace sector.
