A University of Waterloo team has been selected as a finalist in the 2016 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S) student competition out of 50 international participating teams. Team Waterloo is the only North American team among the selected six finalists competing for the best design of a wireless energy harvesting system. The final stage of the competition will be held in June at the annual IEEE AP-S meeting in the USA.

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.

Remembering ECE Professor Mohamed Kamel

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering sadly reports that retired Professor Mohamed Kamel died December 4. "He will be sorely missed by his current and former students, colleagues at the University and from around the world and by the research community at large. The passing of Dr. Kamel is a major loss to all those who have known him and to the scientific community at large."

The University of Waterloo will award 24 outstanding female students a total of $288,000 over the next four years as part of a new scholarship supporting ongoing efforts to achieve comprehensive, long-term and sustainable gender equality.

This year’s recipients of the University of Waterloo HeForShe IMPACT Scholarships included Computer Engineering's Jenny Ma.  Click here for the full story.
