Come show your spirit and get your purple on! 

The tradition continues on July 10, 2020 at 12:00 pm (ET) to celebrate Engineering Day with our incredible community of students, alumni, professors and staff. This year's activities, steamed live on YouTube on the Waterloo Engineering channel, will include a DJ playing fun music, hosted by the Presidents of EngSoc, a social media contest for purpling, appearances by special guests, throw a pie in the face of your professor, and so much more.

This third and final research-focused webinar considers what our virtual future may look like. We will need to improve productivity with better design and automation, make telecommuting more effective and apply to more job roles, learn new ways of managing a dispersed workforce, all while ensuring we remain connected to and engaged with colleagues, employers, families, and friends.
