Future students

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Dr. Sathya Gopalakrishnan, Professor, Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics, Ohio State University, will present: Economics of valuing water resources.
 

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, we will be holding monthly WIN Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.

The Value of Water in Canada, Steve Brown, Senior Associate, Water Resources, Stantec, will present: Stream restoration as a tool for water asset management.

Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) will be holding the Q4Environment Information Session: How Can Quantum Address Environmental Challenges on Thursday, February 15 at RAC 1, 3003, from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm. This event will provide attendees an opportunity to hear from speakers from both the UW quantum and environment community, as well as explore their ideas with others, and receive valuable feedback from mentors and speakers.

Mirrorless Monday is an annual, campus wide campaign to encourage body positivity through various messages on mirrors and a campaign that seeks to remind everyone that their self-worth is not tied to a reflection in a mirror.

The Institute for Quantum Computing offers graduate students unique opportunities to learn and engage in world-leading research in quantum information.

Join this session to learn about the Master of Applied Science (MASc) and Doctoral (PhD) Collaborative programs in Quantum Information in the Faculty of Engineering.

Are you a current high school student thinking about pursuing engineering but not sure which program is right for you? Join us on Thursday, January 18 from 8:30pm - 9:30pm ET to learn how environmental & geological engineering are vital to solving our most pressing environmental issues. Hear how students in our undergraduate programs nurture their passion for sustainability, mathematics, and science, and ask our faculty and current students your questions about academics, co-op, career possibilities, and more!

MBET students make new things happen. They focus on the commercialization of their ideas to build a new venture or have a novel approach within existing organizations. In this info session, learn about the program, hear about the student experience and what happens to our graduates. Discover why Waterloo is the place for entrepreneurs to grow.

Are you a current high school student thinking about pursuing engineering but not sure which program is right for you? Join us on Tuesday, January 16 from 8:30pm - 9:30pm ET to learn how nanotechnology engineering is creating the technologies of the future. Hear how students in our undergraduate program use principles from biology, chemistry, electronics, and quantum physics to create materials and machines far too small to see with the naked eye, and ask our faculty and current students your questions about academics, co-op, career possibilities, and more!

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Dr. David McDonald, Professor, Department of Global Development Studies, Queen’s University, will present: What’s public about public water?

This event is in person in DC 1302 with a lunch reception to follow in DC 1301 (The Fishbowl).

Debates about water privatization have tended to construct a simplistic binary of public versus private. In reality, ‘public’ water is varied and complex in its institutional and ideological make-up, illustrated in part by the rise of very different types of ‘remunicipalized’ water services over the past ten years as well as the growth of ‘corporatized’ public utilities. Drawing on two decades of empirical and theoretical work on this topic, Dr McDonald will highlight key tensions and synergies in the emerging debates about the nature of public water services.

David McDonald is Professor of Global Development Studies at Queen’s University and Director of the Municipal Services Project. He has conducted research on public services in more than 50 countries and has written extensively in academic and popular formats. His most recent book is “Meanings of Public and the Future of Public Services”
