Canada's Largest Engineering School

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. 

University of Waterloo students from all six faculties put their problem-solving skills to the test in a hackathon delivered in partnership by the UN-Habitat's Quality of Life Initiative and the University’s Pearl Sullivan Engineering Ideas Clinic.  

The event, designed to engage university students as strategic partners in community transformation, challenged the 70 participants to solve pressing local problems that affect urban wellbeing in the City of Waterloo. 

Waterloo Engineering researchers have upped the evolving game of automated hockey analysis with new advances to follow the puck and track player movement with more accuracy than ever before.

In two recent studies, the researchers developed artificial intelligence (AI) software to overcome challenges posed by motion blurring and obstructed views in broadcast video of the fast-paced sport.
