Researchers from Waterloo Engineering have received more than $2.9 million in combined funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's (NSERC) Discovery Grants program.

In total, 47 Waterloo Engineering researchers across seven departments and schools received funding this year, spanning three streams of the program.

Waterloo Engineering students will haul a school bus through campus on July 9 as the Bus Push — a fundraising tradition nearly 50 years in the making — takes a new route as part of Engineering Day 2026.

The event, organized by the Waterloo Engineering Society (EngSoc), sees students pull a bus from the CPH Courtyard along Ring Road to the North Residences and back. This year's pull raises money for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

A local marine tech startup is moving into defence and public safety with a new class of high-performance, zero-emission boats designed to strengthen surveillance along Canada's coastlines.

ENVGO, founded by triple Waterloo Engineering alum Dr. Mike Peasgood (BASc '98, MASc '04, PhD '08, systems design engineering), designs and builds electric vessels that use hydrofoiling technology to glide above the water's surface.
