Toronto, October 1, 2021

We are pleased to announce that Charles Gilmer has been awarded the RAB Design Lighting Inc., Award of Excellence for the 2021 Electro-Federation Canada Scholarship program.

Charles is currently in his second year of a four-year program as an Electrical Engineering Technology – Control Systems student at Humber College. He recently began a co-op position with the City of Brampton’s Public Works and Engineering department, working with the Street Light Team. It has sparked his interest in electrical infrastructure management and traffic signal control, which he plans to pursue further.

“I have learned that I thrive and contribute best when I have opportunities for continuous learning, applying technical knowledge, troubleshooting, and developing creative solutions. I have spoken to friends and peers working in electrical roles, and their guidance affirmed that a career in electrical engineering technology will offer these types of opportunities. I am so grateful to the RAB Team for selecting me as the recipient of this generous scholarship. It is wonderful and motivating to have the RAB Team believing in me, and I am excited to work hard and learn as much as I can. Thank you RAB Design Lighting!” said Charles.

Charles is a soon to be father and in his spare time, he enjoys engine repair and maintenance, woodworking, playing guitar and giving back to the community by volunteering.

“On behalf of the RAB team, I’d like to congratulate Charles on this well-deserved scholarship and wish him unlimited success in what we are certain will be a very bright future,” said David Beron, President of RAB Design.

We are pleased to announce that Emily Stotland has been awarded the RAB Design Lighting Inc., Award of Excellence for the 2020 Electro-Federation Canada Scholarship program.

Emily is currently in her final year as a Mechanical Engineering student at McGill University in Montreal. Over the past few years, Emily has worked as summer research assistant at a Biomechanics lab at McGill, as well as, Toronto General Hospital. In addition, she is a teaching assistant for Math courses such as partial differential equations and intermediate calculus. In her past two summer internships, Emily worked at CPPIB in Equity Trading and Bain & Company in their Private Equity Group, allowing her to develop a foundational understanding of the intersection of technology and investing. For fun, Emily is on the McGill dance team and is actively involved in leadership roles within the engineering community on campus, such as the National Organization for Business and Engineering (NOBE). She also is a peer mentor for Mechanical Engineering students at McGill and is currently working to complete her Capstone project, focused on the mechatronic development of an autonomous train.

“As a woman in an incredibly male dominated field, despite my academic success, I often second-guess that I truly fit in with my peers and in the industry. This award helps me validate that I belong and can succeed as an engineer in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) which is imperative to my career and future.” said Emily.

According to Engineers Canada, women make up more than half of the Canadian population, but are significantly underrepresented in engineering education and in the engineering profession. Over the past decades, the number of women enrolled in post-secondary engineering programs has risen, as has the number of women in the engineering profession. “This is incredible news,” said David Beron, President of RAB Design Inc. “It’s fantastic that women are entering this traditionally male dominated field and we are happy to be a part of this movement.”
