The Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Canadian Plastics Industry Association are pleased to offer complimentary academic registration to faculty and students for this 2-day event.

This conference is intended to bring together international experts, policy makers, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs to explore how the advancements in resource recovery technologies and the pursuit of a sustainable economy are changing the way we interact with our world.

During ECE Design Days, students will work with their classmates to solve open-ended problems from across the ECE spectrum. Students should be actively seeking out information online and discerning its quality and value – the purpose is to force you to find your own solutions.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has embraced the IDEAS Clinic philosophy in its “ECE Design Days,” a two-day event where 1B ECE students complete open-ended design tasks. Students complete four linked activities that span the ECE spectrum: Hardware, embedded, software, and robotics. Students get hands-on design experience in an open, formative environment where failure is okay and creativity is rewarded, all while integrating knowledge from across their curriculum.
