WE Innovate is the year's biggest showcase of Waterloo Engineering innovation. Our world class researchers will be displaying emerging research in engineering - cutting edge technology that will shape the world of tomorrow. 

Industry partners, students and anyone passionate about innovation is welcome to attend. The event will be hosted in the student design centre of Engineering 5 on campus. Last year's event showcased more than 50 exhibitors.

Light refreshments will be served.

Explore the exciting field of engineering through this special event for girls!  Meet women currently studying engineering, learn about some of the amazing things women engineers are doing, and participate in a cool hands-on activity.  Go Eng Girl is an exciting opportunity for Grade 7 - 10 girls across Ontario to visit their local university to learn about the wonderful world of engineering: "A Caring Profession".

Dr. Trevor Dickinson, University of Guelph, will deliver a seminar titled "How rising temperatures have changed winter hydrology across Ontario."

Adel Sedra, Dean of Engineering cordially invites you to the unveiling of the plaque commemorating Professor James Ford.

For more than 30 years, Professor Ford taught chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo, specializing in heat transfer and solid-gas reactions.

On Friday, May 18th 2012, Professor Kien Wen Sun from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, will deliver a lecture titled "Applications of Nanotechnology on Solar Energy Harvesting". This lecture is free and open to the public!

On Tuesday, May 15th 2012, Professor Guillaume Wantz from Bordeaux Institute of Technology, France, will deliver a lecture titled "Organic Photovoltaic Research at Bordeaux University: A Focus on Advanced Materials for Efficient and Stable Solar Cells". This lecture is free and open to the public!

Please save the morning of Friday, September 21 and plan to celebrate with us as we open the doors to the University of Waterloo's newest building, the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre. 
 

Modeling and Optimization of a Micro-Grid: Huatacondo, Isolated Village in Northern Chile Dr. Doris Sáez Department of Electrical Engineering University of Chile With a low population density and many natural resources, Chile's electricity supply shortage is a paradox. The Atacama Desert, Andes Mountains, long coastline and strong agriculture provide the country with abundant distributed renewable energy resources that could, according to recent estimations, largely surpass the fast-growing electricity demand.
