Canada's Largest Engineering School

A research team led by Waterloo Engineering professors received $2 million in new federal funding to safeguard Canada’s critical cybersecurity infrastructure by identifying and countering threats that could emerge through the supply chain.

Led by Dr. Sebastian Fischmeister, an electrical and computer engineering professor, and Dr. Michael Mayer, a professor in mechanical and mechatronics engineering, the Materials-based Cybersecurity in Electronics (MATSEC) project brings together a collaborative team of Waterloo Engineering researchers.
 

Five professors from Waterloo Engineering were named among the most influential researchers worldwide for their citation impact, according to the 2025 Highly Cited Researchers list from Clarivate.

The recognition highlights global research leaders whose work continues to advance knowledge and drive innovation across disciplines.

The University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Engineering proudly unveiled its new welding lab in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (MME).  

The state-of-the-art facility expands the Faculty’s capacity to deliver industry-relevant, experiential learning. The department’s leadership established the lab with internal investment and funds from the CWB Welding Foundation, a national charity established in 2013 by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) and a longstanding supporter of Waterloo Engineering.
