Gorjao Engineering Award

Established in 2021 by Jonathan Gorjao (BENG’98) a graduate from Electrical Engineering. Following an unconventional path, Jonathan began his career less than a month after graduating and returning to the GTA, at Bell Canada as a network technician. Just over 23 years later, he is still with the same company, having advanced through a variety of different departments. A lifelong learner, Jonathan enjoys experiencing all that new technology has to offer. He encourages students to remain inquisitive throughout their careers and to pursue a job that is fulfilling. “In this world, learning shouldn’t stop, if it does stagnation will occur, and the mind will suffer.”

Awarded to a full time undergraduate student in their 2nd, 3rd or 4th year of study within the Engineering Degree Program with preference given to students majoring in Electrical Engineering.
