Engineering Capstone Design Symposia

Alumni, students, employers, industry partners, media, and members of the general public are invited to join us in the Pearl Sullivan Engineering Building (formerly Engineering 7) for the Capstone Design Symposium.

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed a much faster, more efficient training method to help put powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the hands of many more people.

Their approach to large language models (LLMs) – advanced AI systems designed to understand and generate human language by learning patterns in how words and ideas are connected – reduces both the cost and environmental impact of building them.

Innovations in technology have advanced every aspect of our human lives — often with engineers at the helm. One such example is the intersection of health care and technology, as showcased by the University of Waterloo’s Global Futures framework which highlights the importance of health tech in our future world.

There are many urgent and exciting opportunities for engineers to step in and help redesign health care systems, innovate solutions and develop new ways of solving problems for the good of society.

Join this live event in Toronto with a panel of engineers, researchers and health tech entrepreneurs who will discuss how — in our rapidly changing world, challenged by rising costs and lack of access — engineering can help advance health care through technology.

The conversation will focus on how engineers can work towards solutions for optimal health care, showcase innovative research, discuss strategies for retaining health tech startups in Canada, identify challenges, explore opportunities and propose actionable solutions to foster an innovative and thriving health tech ecosystem in the country.
