Waterloo Engineering welcomes future students and their families to visit us to discover our undergraduate programs, campus, student life and more at this year's Fall Open House!
Can't make it to Fall Open House? Have more questions you want answered? Join us virtually for an ask-me-anything webinar with some of our current students and staff members to learn more about life at Waterloo Engineering and Architecture. We'll discuss academics, co-op, student life, and more!
This workshop hosted by Dallas Squire of Onkwehonwe Games offers participants the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of the people of the Six Nations (also called Haudenosaunee) through Traditional Games.
Interactive and hands-on, their approach to teaching is indigenous in its foundation. While learning about traditional games of the Six Nations of the Grand River, participants will simultaneously be learning about and experiencing local First Nations culture. In Kanyen'keha Onkwehonwe translates to ‘the original or first people’. The traditional way of many Onkwehonwe is to live in harmony with Mother Earth. Living in this good way requires a balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Games were and are still used as a way to stay healthy and connected to a person’s community. Six Nations traditional games are used to enhance individual and team skills, as well as create sportsmanship, connection and laughter.
This event is part of the “ADE for Game Communities: Enculturing Anti-Racism, Decolonization, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ADE) in Games Research and Creation” series from the ADE Committee of the Games Institute, University of Waterloo, and is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
In geological engineering and environmental engineering, the world is your classroom! On Monday, December 11 at 8:30PM ET, learn how students in these two programs are engineering our earth for a better future.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Osteoporosis is a major bone disease in the world, increasing the risk of fractures, and that can be slow down by an healthy lifestyle. Therefore, physical activity is very important, but engagement is a challenge. Eléa's research aims to design active games (exergames) to increase engagement while improving physical health, and fitting to a population at risk of fall and fracture.
