Explore our Environmental and Geological Engineering programs and see how these fields address critical issues like climate change, resource depletion and environmental degradation. As an environmental or geological engineer, you’ll work on projects that protect the environment, manage resources sustainably and design disaster-resilient infrastructure. Hear from our professors, current students and alumni, and get your questions answered at this interactive AMA webinar. 

The FIRST Robotics Waterloo Regional Competition brings teams of Ontario's brightest high school students to the University of Waterloo campus to battle head-to-head with student-designed, remote-controlled robots. Built from scratch, these five-foot tall, 140-pound robots compete in high intensity robo-sports.

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. We see its impact on social media. We use it to translate, write emails, gain an edge on the stock market, drive cars, and even think for us. Many believe that this is just the start. Artificial Intelligence may have the power to disrupt the very foundations of how we live. One of those foundations is our country, Canada. Many of us are grateful to live in a country with an elected government, independent courts, social services, and civil liberties. In a time when the world anticipates the disruption that AI may bring, The Waterloo Forum asks, “Will AI undermine Canadian democratic institutions?”

Bring your class to campus for Chemical and Nanotechnology Engineering Lab Day! Students will try out hands-on activities and see how chemical and nanotechnology innovations are powering breakthroughs in sustainability, energy, and medicine. It’s a fun, interactive way to spark curiosity and show future engineers what’s possible. 

Waterloo Engineering invites our future undergraduate students and their supporters to campus for Fall Open House to explore what the University of Waterloo has to offer!

Join us for a webinar presentation by Dr. Krzysztof Czarnecki on the current state of autonomous vehicles, exploring active deployments, emerging challenges and research directions. The talk will also highlight research taking place in the Waterloo Intelligent Systems Engineering (WISE) Laboratory, which co-led the development of the first autonomous vehicle tested on public roads in Canada.

RoboHub and ESG Partners will be hosting a panel on Harnessing Robotics & AI For Climate Solutions, which aims to explore how robotics and AI can be applied to climate solutions and how a climate lens can be applied to existing robotics work in areas like healthcare to address climate threats. This event is taking place during CCWX 2025, which runs from November 24 to November 30th.

Waterloo Engineering invites our future undergraduate students and their supporters to campus for March Open House to explore what the University of Waterloo has to offer!
