While the age of fully-autonomous cars is not yet upon us, the truth is humans have not actually been driving by themselves for years. From anti-lock braking in the 1970s to the advanced driver assist functions of today, cars have been giving drivers a hand, and helping keep them safe, for decades.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Miovision, a Kitchener-based company founded by systems design engineering graduates announced the closing of $30 million CAD in their Series B financing round earlier this week. The investment will help expand the company’s workforce and accelerate their vision of smart cities and cloud-based traffic management technology.
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.
