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.
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.
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.
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.
Waterloo co-op students have a reputation for standing out among their peers during their work terms. Michelle Wesolowski and Tania Casaluce are no exception. Both were recently recognized at the Fall Hatch Student Showcase, an event hosted by Hatch, an engineering consultancy that hires co-op students from several universities and colleges. Held every semester, the event gives students the chance to showcase their innovations and contributions to the organization.
Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is an organization on campus that invests in Waterloo’s Environmental Engineering students, to help them become tomorrow’s leaders for tackling major challenges of the 21st century.
EWB students learn to lead change by being provided with learning resources and forums, by being challenged to create positive change in collaboration with our peers, and by connecting with a network of like-minded change leaders across Canada.
The University of Waterloo Steel Bridge Design Team is a collection of students passionate about the engineering design process. The team provides the opportunity to apply knowledge learned in both the classroom and the workplace to a unique design challenge in an environment that promotes connections between students and industry professionals.
