What is the 'Alcoa Canada, partner in aluminum know-how and excellence' program?
'Alcoa Canada, partner in aluminum know-how and excellence' is a means by which aluminium know-how can be developed and put to good use by integrating specialised teaching on the material in university programs.
In practical terms, the program offers substantial savings to aluminium engineering (civil, mechanical, and other) students, professors, and researchers on two high quality reference books, Calcul des charpentes d'aluminium and its English version, Design of Aluminum Structures, when purchased in one of the following university bookstores:
- COOPSCO, University of Quebec at Chicoutimi
- Zone, Laval University
- Biblairie GGC, Université de Sherbrooke
- COOP ÉTS, École de technologie supérieure
- COOPOLY, École Polytechnique de Montréal
- McGill Bookstore, McGill University
These universities were chosen for their commitment to the dissemination of aluminium knowledge and the integration of the metal into their engineering programs.
