Another stop on the tour for University of Toronto Master of Engineering students was the ANDRITZ Canada Inc. Generator Center, where they had a behind the scenes look at modern hydropower equipment and manufacturing in action.

Students explored the design and technology that support Ontario’s waterpower sector and observed how modern generator components are engineered and built.

Thank you to ANDRITZ for sharing your technical expertise and supporting emerging waterpower professionals.
