Canada's Largest Engineering School

Patrons of a new public library in Waterloo will be welcomed by a 2.4 metre (eight foot) sculpture by Waterloo architecture master’s graduate Jyhling Lee. Lee’s creation, titled Origami Goose, was inspired by the natural surroundings of the library, where Canada geese are a common site at nearby Laurel Creek Conservation Area. It also combines her love of origami and interest in the environment. 

Mohammad Bozchalui, an electrical and computer engineering doctoral student, was recently honoured as the winner of MPrime’s award for Best Novel Use of Mathematics in Technology Transfer. MPrime, Canada’s only Network of Centres of Excellence for the mathematical sciences, brings together academia, industry and the public sector to develop mathematical tools vital to the knowledge-based economy. Bozchalui received his award at the seventh International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, which was held in Vancouver.
