EMAGIN is Canada’s first artificial intelligence company for the water sector, and co-founded and jointly run by CEE and other UW students.
We are pleased to announce that at the CSCE (Canadian Society of Civil Engineers) Annual Congress in London, ON last week, the Capstone project team representing the University of Waterloo’s Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department came in 3rd place nationally!
Earlier in the year, our undergraduate student chapter produced an annual report for the CSCE (Canadian Society of Civil Engineers) and amidst fierce competition, their report took home one of the coveted awards!
The CSCE Student Affairs Committee evaluated final annual reports (2015-2016) from 24 schools and awarded Waterloo the Most Improved Student Chapter.
The competition was very keen with many outstanding reports, but the committee was extremely impressed with the professionalism and the quality of our report.
Congratulations to the 2016 CEE 3MT competition winners!
First Prize: Chris Rausch, MASc Candidate
Supervisor(s): Jeffrey West and Carl Haas
Presentation title: Strategic Management of Dimensional Variability in Modular Construction
This year's Capstone Design posters stepped it up a notch with projects ranging from technology that reduces agricultural water waste, through intelligent irrigation systems, to a roller coaster that would thrill even the toughest adrenalin junkie.
Dr. Robert McKillop, known affectionately as "Bob" to students and colleagues alike, has been awarded the Distinguished Teacher 2016 Award.
From co-op to academic exchange, UWaterloo students have the opportunity to travel the world and share their experiences with us. Earlier this month, Waterloo International showcased 13 student photographers in a campus-wide competition for International Celebrations Week.
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.
Every year, the Canadian Geotechnical Society holds student competitions to recognize excellence among undergraduate and graduate engineering students at Canadian universities.
On January 20, 2016, the first round of competition was held between six Southern Ontario Universities: McMaster, York, Waterloo, Toronto, Ryerson and Western. Irfan Muhammed, a UW geotechnical grad student, was named the winner of the universities' competition and now advances to the national competition.
Last August, the University of Waterloo Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) team sent six undergraduate students and an engineer to Chimore, Bolivia for three weeks, to build a 90 meter span pedestrian footbridge.
