Canada's Largest Engineering School

Computer modelling at Waterloo Engineering shows professional baseball pitchers could make mechanical changes to avoid a common, career-threatening elbow injury without necessarily sacrificing competitive velocity.

"Our simulation found solutions that suggest there's untapped efficiency out there,” said Cedric Attias, who led the study while earning a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. “Our goal isn't to tell pitchers to throw softer. It's to help them throw smarter."

A University of Waterloo leader and Civil Engineering alum has been recognized with a national award for his decades of service to the engineering profession and the Waterloo region community.

Murray Gamble (BASc '85), P.Eng., chair of the University's Board of Governors and president of The C3 Group of Companies, has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Engineers Canada Meritorious Service Award for Community Service.

An interdisciplinary team from the University of Waterloo premiered an interactive art exhibit that brings the story of the Athabasca Glacier to life, blending science, technology and art to spark deeper conversations about climate change. 

The Life and Legacy of the Athabasca Glacier was created by researchers and students from the Faculties of Engineering, Environment and Arts, in collaboration with multimedia artists and imagery provided by Guardians of the Ice.
