The next big innovation to hit the marketplace could be among the Waterloo student projects on display at the annual Capstone Design symposia beginning March 16. 

Senior-year engineering students at Waterloo will exhibit projects ranging from a technology that reduces agricultural water waste through intelligent irrigation systems to a device that may help people with Parkinson`s disease avoid falls.

A Waterloo Engineering researcher has received an E.W.R Steacie Memorial Fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for his work in developing new materials that make batteries and fuel cells smaller, lighter and longer lasting.

Garry Rempel, University of Waterloo Chemical Engineering professor, was invested as a Member of the Order of Canada. He received his Order of Canada from his Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on February 12, 2016.
