Come learn about the research happening with UAVs in the Waterloo Region! Keysight and Gap Wireless will be showing off some of their equipment.
The highest level of robotics competition offered by FIRST. High-school students team up with the world’s best technology companies to build the most impressive robots you’ve ever seen. Built from scratch in only 6 weeks, these 5 foot tall, 140 pound robots compete in high intensity robo-sports. With bragging rights at stake for schools and the companies that support them, robotics takes on a pro-sports experience. Watch the best of the best in robotics come out to play.
Mark your calendars and prepare your questions! Ever wonder what life is like as an engineering student at UWaterloo? Trying to figure out which program is right for you? We're here to help.
Current engineering students will be live on Reddit to answer your questions from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on November 28th (questions will open starting at 2pm!) - this AMA will be hosted on the UWaterloo subreddit: reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/.
Tomorrow’s innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. Guided by two or more adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League teams (up to 10 members, grades 4-8**) research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS®, then compete on a table-top playing field.
Join us for this important event, bringing together policy makers, technology innovators, leading researchers and entrepreneurs!
Forum Goals and Objectives:
- The goal of the Forum is to explore the effect of emerging technologies on the distribution sector business models.
This full day conference for first and upper year engineer students will showcase a variety of guest speakers and workshops focused on helping participants navigate through both student life and career preparation. From planning out your next four years in undergrad to learning what to expect when you enter the workforce, this conference will help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to achieve your goals with confidence.
Buildings constitute a major component of end-use energy. Next generation technologies embedded in “smart” buildings will remain key to a low carbon energy future. This is a ‘meet-up’ of academic, industry & government experts who have come together to share insights & new ideas for our energy future.
Panel presentations, posters & discussions will focus on:
- The Business of Future Low-Carbon Buildings
The co-founders of the world-renowned humanitarian organization Engineers Without Borders, George Roter (BASc 1999) and Parker Mitchell (BASc 1999), will deliver a public lecture titled "Global Impact One Engineer at a Time: Why we Founded Engineers Without Borders" about their journey from their time as engineering students at the University of Waterloo, to the founding of Engineers Without Borders and its global impact, and their careers since and beyond.
