For the second time in two years, two Waterloo Engineering startups have been chosen out of hundreds of others as contenders for the 2015 James Dyson Award.

Grasp and Voltera V-One, both founded as Capstone Design projects, are among five Canadian finalists for the award.

The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) funding announced today will support two Waterloo Engineering research initiatives:

As Waterloo Engineering launches into a $70 million fundraising campaign, Dean Pearl Sullivan shares the vision for this campaign and why this is a critical initiative as we work to ensure we continue to transform our education model.

Making shared accommodation spaces more private and secure is the goal behind winning Capstone Design project, Boogaloo Bunks. The team, comprised of students from mechanical, mechatronics and systems design engineering, designed a solution that transforms hostel beds into private and secure personal pods.

Kitematic, a software startup dedicated to making the Docker development environment accessible to a wider range of developers, has been acquired by Docker Inc. Founded by engineering alumni Jeffrey Morgan and Sean Li (both BASc 2013, Software), and electrical engineering student Michael Chiang, Kitematic sold for an undisclosed amount last week.
