About Julia Billings

I wake up every day energized by the work I do and the impact I help create.I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate from the University of Guelph, where I was a varsity athlete, and awarded the top convocation prize in the Physical Sciences and Engineering department at the University of Guelph.I am currently pursuing my MASc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Guelph with a focus on Engineering Education. My research explores how interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE) is perceived by both instructors, students, and alumni within the undergraduate engineering curriculum at the University of Guelph. I am deeply passionate about engineering education and contributing to a collaborative team that is dedicated to advancing teaching, learning, and knowledge in the field. My passion for IEE drives me to stay ahead of emerging trends, leveraging technologies and refining educational practices to prepare engineering graduates for transformative societal impacts.I have one year of experience as an Emergency Classroom Supervisor and Educational Assistant with the Wellington Catholic District School Board. Additionally, I have 16 months of experience at Bruce Power, where I implemented training performance trackers, developed course and training materials, supported equipment reliability initiatives, and gained hands-on experience in nuclear energy generation. I have also managed manufacturing operations at PepsiCo Foods Canada and contributed to improving production efficiency at BSG CanCraft.
