Canadian Foundation of Innovation funding of $30 million for the development of an advanced research computing facility will enable Canadian researchers to gain a deeper understanding of how the scientific, social, health and economic worlds connect.
Waterloo Engineering automotive research projects are receiving financial support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation's (CFI) Automotive Partnership Canada Fund. The two initiatives will help improve fuel efficiency: one by developing lightweight parts and the other by designing intelligent control systems.
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.
Commuters who are physically active are happier than commuters who don’t make time for exercise, according to Waterloo study.
Waterloo engineering students get their hands dirty while they learn about design and function in the engine dissection lab.
When it comes to road safety, Parkinson’s disease is a bigger threat than once thought, says Waterloo aging expert.
