Canada's Largest Engineering School

The Faculty of Engineering hosted an innovation challenge funded by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. (TMMC) for engineering students in any program and in any year of study.

The weekend-long event, which took place in the Pearl Sullivan Engineering Ideas Clinic, challenged 125 students to design and prototype a robotic device capable of handling real-world automotive manufacturing tasks.

Elder William (Bill) Woodworth, who played a vital role in advancing Indigenous presence and perspective at the University of Waterloo, passed away unexpectedly June 9, 2025.

A long-time faculty member in the School of Architecture and Elder in Residence for the Faculty of Engineering, Woodworth supported students, faculty and staff by sharing his knowledge, stories and care for community. His calm presence brought people together, encouraged meaningful conversations and helped make the University a more welcoming and respectful place for everyone.

The University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Engineering hosted a lively reunion event welcoming alumni from across generations back to campus to reconnect and relive their student days. 

The engineering grads came together for a full day of activities that included a patio party, the popular back-to-the-classroom lecture with Dr. Larry Smith, drinks at POETS, the iron ring renewal ceremony and a dinner party.
