A missing umbrella is no big deal until it rains. An executive panel full of male faces may be accepted without a second thought, until someone has the audacity to question the absence of diverse voices.
The University of Waterloo broke ground this week on Engineering 7, an $88-million building that will feature some of the best engineering research and teaching facilities in the world.
The race to build a better battery has drawn in some of the world’s biggest innovators — notably billionaire CEO Elon Musk, who is one of the players in the global drive to invent a low-cost, powerful battery to fuel the next-generation of electric cars.
At the University of Waterloo, innovation is in our DNA. Building one of the world’s top innovation universities takes talent, curiosity, drive, passion and a single-minded focus on creating real-world change.
Professor Mary Wells, Waterloo Engineering’s associate dean of outreach, has launched a book she co-authored with Anne Millar called Women of Impact.
This one day workshop will focus on issues relating to vehicle light-weighting, such as joining, corrosion, and implementation of dissimilar materials. Both academic and industrial speakers will present their latest findings and perspectives on subjects including:
Two Waterloo engineering students have completed an Enterprise Co-op term by creating the first autonomous vehicle to drive on a Canadian road.
A Waterloo Engineering Team won the 2015 Electric Mobility Canada Student Competition, an event co-sponsored by AddÉnergie and Electric Mobility Canada. The award came with a $4,500 charging station for Waterloo.
A group of University of Waterloo researchers say the salvage yard need not be the end of the road for exhausted electric-vehicle (EV) batteries. They’ve found that refurbished EV batteries can have a second career as power sources for everything from lighting to refrigeration.
Student experience will literally reach new heights in Robozone, part of the vision of the $70 million Educating the Engineer of the Future campaign launched by the Faculty of Engineering.
