  1. PIPELINE ENGINEERING CENTER • IAC Chairman – Leigh Myers, P.Eng., MBA Vice President Operations, Energy – AMEC Americas Limited • PEC Director – Dr. W.J.D. (Bill) Shaw, P.Eng. Professor, Dept of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

  2. Pipeline Engineering Center Plan • Driven By CTC and U of C • Planning initiated April 2002 • CEPA, CTC, University of Calgary, with facilitator • Developed plan ASME – Pipeline Systems Division And Calgary Technical Chapter Pipeline Engineering Centre of Excellence Development Plan (2002 – 2005) Mission Statement “Develop a Centre of Excellence to promote education and advancement of knowledge in Pipeline Engineering.”

  3. University of Calgary Pipeline Engineering Center • Developed plan with CEPA / UofC / Industry Members • Tested plan with CEPA • Several suggestions incorporated in the plan • Involvement of University of Alberta • Involve additional Universities in Canada • Coordinate with Established programs • Late Fall 2002 CTC met representatives of faculty of engineering • Came away with confidence that UofC had momentum

  4. University of Calgary Pipeline Engineering Center • Developed Funding Criteria to allow CTC release of funds ($200K) • By year end, • Return if center not approved • Advisory council established with 2 CTC members on council • Yearly report of activities • Industry dinner in June 2003 : • inform industry of progress • solicit advisory board members • Oleg Vinogradov – Developed fall 2003 Course Material • Dr. Wirasinghe - Announced CRC Funding

  5. Sources of Funding • University of Calgary – operating support • Federal and Provincial Governments • CFI, NSERC, Alberta Ingenuity etc. • Pipeline Organizations • CEPA, CAPP • Pipeline Sponsors • Operators, Service Companies • Individual Benefactors

  6. Implementation Details • Create Pipeline Advisory Council • Recruit Program Director • Seek additional funding • Start Graduate Program September 2003 • Recruit PEC Chair Person

  7. Implementation Details • Inaugural IAC Meeting • January 24, 2002 • Committee Elections: PEC Management Board PEC Graduate Program and Administration PEC Research Committee

  8. PRC Management Board • Dean of Engineering • Assoc. Dean (Research & International) • Assoc. Dean (Academic & Planning) • Faculty Department Heads (3) • Chem & Pet, Civil, Mech & Man. • IAC Members (4) • Director of PEC

  9. Graduate Program and Administration Committee • PEC Director • Assoc. Dean (Research & International) • Graduate Coordinators (4) from: • Chem & Pet, Civil, Geomatics, Mech & Man. • IAC (1) • Registered full time Grad Student (1)

  10. PEC Research Committee PEC Director Associate Dean (Research & International) Full Time Pipeline Engineering Faculty IAC (2 Members)
