SINA ALLEN (BEng)

When Sina Allen received the Beedie Luminaries Scholarship back in 2020, his main goal was simple: find his footing in his first year at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Little did he know that just five years later, he’d be designing the future with one of the world’s most innovative companies.

After graduating from UBC’s Mechanical Engineering program with a focus in Mechatronics, Sina has already left his mark beyond Canadian borders. During his degree, he completed two internships in Palo Alto, California, working as a Mechanical Design Engineer Intern at Tesla Inc. – contributing to projects with real-world impact in the US and beyond.

“Starting early on my career development was perhaps the best decision I made by far in university and I wouldn’t have realised it without seeking peer advice from senior students.”
