Background

About Catherine Kucaba

I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelors of Applied Science with Honours in Mechanical Engineering and I specialized in manufacturing and mechatronics. I completed numerous design projects over the years, including a human powered aircraft control system, a maze solving robot, and a hobbyist oscilloscope. I collaborated with teams on these projects and have also provided leadership for some of them. While in university, I volunteered extensively in the engineering community. I was an Engineering Ambassador and attended multiple faculty recruiting and welcome events (such as the Ontario Universities Fair). In my third year, I was the Academic Director for Mech Club and oversaw all of the academic topics and concerns for the undergraduate mechanical classes. I also volunteered for the Mech Club Mentorship Program and mentored first year students in my second and third years. In my fourth year, I was in charge of and ran the Cannon Guard, a club dedicated to honouring, respecting, and protecting the UofT Engineering mascot, Ye Olde Mighty Skule(TM) Cannon. Outside of academics and jobs, I have multiple hobbies and interests that I like to do in my free time. Some of my favourite hobbies include climbing (bouldering), reading, playing board games and puzzles, photography, and spending time with family and friends.
