Polytechnic Means More
Illya Omelyanchuk, Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Illya Omelyanchuk knows the value of positive connections and collaboration.
Born in Ukraine, Illya, along with his parents and brother, moved to central Alberta in the summer of 2010. After graduating in 2019 from Notre Dame High School in Red Deer, he wanted to start his post-secondary program near family.
“Being able to attend Red Deer Polytechnic close to home has made the transition from high school much easier,” says Illya, a first-year Bachelor of Science Engineering student. “The technology, small class sizes, ability to collaborate with my peers and to connect with industry are huge advantages at RDP.”
Along with taking five courses during Winter 2023 Term, Illya works as an Applied Research Technician in the Polytechnic’s Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing (CIM-TAC), which is a 15,000 square foot collaborative hub that helps entrepreneurs to bring ideas to life and solve industry problems. Many students like Illya, as well as industry partners and other stakeholders, have been able to access unique opportunities through the CIM-TAC, which houses $6.6 million in prototype and advanced manufacturing equipment.
