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.
In April, construction crews began stripping down an old laboratory tucked among the engineering buildings on the University of Waterloo campus.
They are creating a research facility with three different labs, or cells, working toward a common objective: smarter, more energy-efficient automobiles, with reduced emissions.
