Abstract

Anne Millar and our very own Waterloo Professor Mary Wells are inviting those who wish to see women enter and flourish in science and engineering to hear them discuss their book Women of Impact.

The Water Institute is hosting a seminar by Prabhakar Clement, Professor and Groome Jr. Endowed Scholar of Civil Engineering, Auburn University. He will speak on Authorship and Author Rank - Misuses, Misunderstandings and a Meaningful Solution.

The Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy invites you to attend Energy Day 2016 featuring an enlightening day of energy research presentations, poster displays, networking opportunities, interesting discussions with researchers, AND a video contest to win prizes!

The event will be on Wednesday March 30, 2016 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be provided so make your way on to Federation Hall for a great day of energy day activities!

The Water Institute is hosting a seminar by Bejoy Thomas, Fellow, Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE).  He will speak on Resilience, vulnerability and environmental change: insights from the rapidly urbanizing Arkavathy sub-basin, India.

The Water Institute is pleased to host Peter Mollinga, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, for a seminar discussing publishing in the journal Water Alternatives.

Dr. Mollinga is the editor of the journal Water Alternatives, and will share advice on for publishing in this journal.  This may be of interest to junior faculity and senior graduate students.

Fifteen outstanding design projects, short-listed from over 40 applicants representing all engineering departments, will be chosen to compete for $60,000 in funding. The Esch Awards support creative and entrepreneurial students in the pursuit of research and development and its commercialization for the benefit of Canada.

The Sedra People's Choice Award

Join us for the FIRST Robotics Competition, Waterloo Regional, hosted at the University of Waterloo in the Physical Activities Complex. Thirty-two high-school teams from across Ontario and the US will converge on the University of Waterloo for the three-day competition, where they will demonstrate their robot in this year's challenge, FIRST Stronghold.

The event is open to the public and admittance is free. Final rounds will occur on Saturday afternoon.

An Interdisciplinary Forum for Graduate Student Research

With a focus on aging research, SoAR is a one-day meeting for engaging with graduate student research beyond disciplinary and professional boundaries, and across areas of expertise. SoAR encourages graduate students from any discipline to present, dialogue, and learn about current research on processes, experiences, and systems related to aging.
