Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are known as nature’s latest wonder material. This renewable, sustainable, biodegradable and nontoxic nanomaterial can be extracted from cellulose fiber - the most abundant biopolymer on earth and competitively produced at an industrial-scale.

Chemical Engineering's Capstone Design Symposium will feature 35 projects from final year Engineering students ranging in topic from solar powered cooking to the production of artificial blood vessels. 

For more information on all the research projects that will be presented, please see the 2019 Chemical Engineering Capstone Design Projects page and join us on March 11 in Engineering 6, first floor atrium, to come and explore for yourself!

The Ontario AMC is a joint partnership between the University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Western University. Funded by the province of Ontario, the AMC works with small, medium and large industry partners across a diverse range of markets to accelerate innovation and to uphold Ontario as a leading manufacturing region.

Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

The Department of Chemical Engineering and the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology are partnering to organize a series of discourses on technology-based solutions to global challenges linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Alumni, students, employers, industry partners, media, and members of the general public are invited to join us in Engineering 7 for the Chemical Engineering Capstone Design event.
