The plaque was fabricated to honour the memory of the 14 women massacred at L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. This plaque is the result of a project partnership between the Faculties of Engineering and Fine Arts, and was sponsored by the Office of the Vice-President Academic and Provost. An art design was selected through a contest coordinated by the Visual Arts Departmment. The selected art design was then turned over to the Mechanical Engineering Department to be converted to a 3-dimensional (3D) solid model and then eventually fabricated on a computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine. The fabricated plaque was unveiled during the December 2010 Memorial event at UVic.展开更多
