CBB visionary lecture series: Tackling grand challenges in global health & development

The world’s challenges and targets for their solutions have recently been captured in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are intended to guide global action from 2015‐2030. Now, the focus is shifting from the strategy of developing and forging consensus around these goals to questions of implementation and execution regarding how these goals will be reached. In addressing this question, it is clear that innovation will be critical to reaching the SDGs.

A Waterloo Engineering Team  won the 2015 Electric Mobility Canada Student Competition, an event co-sponsored by AddÉnergie and Electric Mobility Canada. The award came with a $4,500 charging station for Waterloo.

At the competition held in Halifax teams were presented with an electric vehicle (EV) power train configuration and battery charging issue to resolve. Each team prepared a presentation of its issue, a solution and a plan for adoption. The Waterloo team proposed a Metal/Air – LiIon Hybrid vehicle as the technical solution: 

Two management engineering teams won the top two awards in the undergraduate category at this year's Canadian Operations Research Society (CORS) 2015 Student Paper Competition held in Montreal.  A third team placed in the competition's top five. All the students' papers were also their 2015 Waterloo Engineering Capstone Design projects.

International Autonomous Robot Racing Competition

Move over pokey Google self-driving cars, here comes a pack of robot cars racing around an outdoor track in a bid to see which one is the fastest. The race is the annual International Autonomous Robot Racing Competition (IARRC), hosted by the University of Waterloo.

This year's event will take place on a large track in the parking lot of Engineering 5. All races are open to the public and begin at 11 a.m. In case of rain, the main competition will be held in the Sedra Student Design Centre (Engineering 5) on Sunday, July 19.

Engineering Exchange Information Session

This session will cover two areas of interest:

- information for engineering students who are in 1B or 2A and would like more information about exchange opportunities

and,

- information for engineering students who have already submitted or are in the process of completing their exchange application

Staff from the Faculty Exchange Office as well as Waterloo International will be available to answer your questions!

Refreshments will be provided!
