This engaging and interactive game allows us to display the way society views gender-based violence and how as men we can learn to accept and empathize with other people’s experiences. This activity always generates a lot of really great conversations

Are you feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and negative about work or life? You might be experiencing burnout.

Burnout is defined as "a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress" (CAMH). Burnout can leave people feeling physically and emotionally drained, like everything is a huge effort, and can result in lower productivity or impaired ability to function.

While burnout was first identified in relation to work and career, it can occur across a variety of settings, and across any vocation. In recent years, concerns about post-secondary student burnout has been increasing.

Approximately 78% of Canadian employees reported feeling burnt-out at some point in their careers, and 35% say they are currently experiencing burnout (Benefits Canada, 2023) Similarly, the 2022 Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey, found that over 40% of students reported being tired out for no good reason most or all of the time, over 30% reported feeling nervous most or all of the time, and over 30% felt that everything was an effort most or all of the time.

Burnout can occur as a result of chronic stress with little time for recovery and rest. When left unaddressed, burnout can result in larger, and even long-term concerns. In this evidence-based session, we will explore the causes and signs of burn-out, as well as some practical strategies for addressing and preventing burnout.

Throughout the 2023 Spring and Fall terms, the FoE is hosting a series of Wellness Conversation Circles to gather perspectives and insights from FoE students around wellbeing within Engineering including what enhances/contributes to wellbeing and what diminishes/creates barriers to wellbeing. We are also looking for your ideas and suggestions for future programs and initiatives.

Join the Department of Systems Design Engineering for a panel discussion with artificial intelligence experts.

Dr. Bryan Tripp, Associate Professor, Systems Design Engineering Dr. Tripp uses computational models to study how the brain processes information. He integrates neurobiological models and deep learning to study visuomotor processes. He is also interested in applying these models in challenging robotics tasks, to better understand how the brain deals with the complex physical world.

Dr. Mihaela Vlasea, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Additive manufacturing is rapidly changing the manufacturing landscape. Dr.

Vlasea’s research focuses on innovative design, process optimization and adoption of new materials for powder bed fusion and binder jetting additive manufacturing processes. The research goals are to bridge the technological gaps necessary to improve part quality, process repeatability and reliability.

Dr. Alex Wong, Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging, Professor, Systems Design Engineering Dr. Wong is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to operational artificial intelligence and computational medical imaging. His work on scalable and explainable deep learning aims at making AI technology accessible to everyone, and at gaining a deeper understanding in how neural networks think. A prolific innovator, his creative work in computational medical imaging has led to the invention of a new form of MRI designed for cancer detection, the first blood-flow imaging system for observing arterial and venous flow from a distance, and a spectral light-field fusion microscope without lenses.

Join the Conrad School for this breakfast session as we celebrate Women in Entrepreneurship Day. Our early-morning fireside chat will include incredible women entrepreneurs working to improve health care for women. Hear what they're doing, learn about some of the challenges they face and what they see in store for the future.

Enjoy some coffee, breakfast and networking to start your day.

Agenda:

7:30am: But first, coffee. Grab a coffee and ease into conversation.

8:00am: Fully fuelled, sit down and hear from women entrepreneurs in the women's health space. It's also a chance for you to ask our expert panelists questions.

9:00am: Networking and possibly enjoy a second cup.

This workshop is often taken third, however it can be completed at any point as an individual session or as part of the certificate.

In this session we will discuss what true consent means, signs of a healthy vs. unhealthy relationship, and why the ‘Bro Code’, an unspoken playbook men are expected to learn through adolescence, is inherently problematic.

Explore the social location of men in society and how has that impacted our society, the way we grow and move within a community, and the way we show up (or don’t show up) for those who need us, such as marginalized groups or those with less power.
