Events - June 2020

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is comprized of many talented faculty members, students and researchers from various backgrounds of study. We wanted to showcase their incredible work through our Member Seminar Series! Each month a professor and 2 of their researchers will present their research to our community. This series is an opportunity for our WIN community to come together, learn about ongoing research and potentially foster new partnerships between students, faculty and labs.

TalEng goes online! Record and submit a cover, original song, dance, or any other talent that you want to show off!

If you plan to work for a tech company or are thinking of starting your own, this talk is for you.

As part of Remote Learning Community events this term, Steven Cutler (SYDE BASc 2005; SYDE MASc 2006) and Geoffrey Rawle (SYDE BASc 2005), who practice law at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP in Toronto where they specialize in tech related issues, are coming to give a talk.

Make your voice heard by attending EngSoc council meetings! Mandate the executive to work on your behalf, run to sit on a committee, and help make decisions that impact the future of EngSoc. Especially this term, we want to hear how you and your classmates are adapting to online school and what we can do to help you!

Fix yourself a drink, grab a seat, and join some friends online for a socially distant happy hour!

Congratulations. You did it! It’s time to celebrate your hard-earned engineering degree with your classmates at an interactive virtual celebration. We are also committed to ensuring this cohort will get to walk across a stage and have the full convocation experience when it is possible to do so. 

Students and alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive virtual Office Hour with engineering alumnus Paul-Michael Dekker (BASc '80), Professional Networker, Futurist, Systems Design Engineer and Entrepreneur!

During this Office Hour, join fellow University of Waterloo engineering alumni, students and referred guests for this virtual event to get advice/upgrades on your professional networking skills, grow your network by seeing/hearing about other people and their specialties, ask questions and get advice, and get to know Paul-Michael Dekker and some of the people, resources and tools he has experienced since 1980, while working on both local and global projects. RSVP in the Waterloo Engineering Hub.

A case study which explores aspects of how to use the main forms of Intellectual Property (IP) protection to commercialize technology. This is an interactive case study that allows the participants to experience a realistic situation where they get to see how IP can be applied to protect and commercialize a potentially valuable technology created by a group of university students.
