Guidance for an effective application for a Masters and PhD- Mechanical and Mechatronics
This hybrid panel covers the exploration of biometrics (or physiological measures) in game user research, driven by advancements in sensing technologies and the increased accessibility of signal processing tools.
An opportunity for campus community members to engage in conversations, activities, and events focused on consent, in an effort to build a #ConsentCulture.
This panel highlights emerging scholars in Black game studies. Panelists will present recent and/or ongoing work, sharing a glimpse of the emerging research questions animating the field. Topics include Black worldbuilding in and across games (Fletcher), perceptions of Black male exceptionalism in gaming cultures (Dashiell), and the relationship between avatar representation and Black user experience in social VR (DeVeaux). 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.
We all juggle personal, family, social, financial, and work demands. Most of us do well, but any of us could be blindsided by an unexpected crisis or
overwhelmed when stressors start to pile up.
Some stressors may diminish over time, while others may become more prominent. Stressors aren’t always bad and don’t necessarily lead to negative feelings. Sometimes what appears to be a crisis can lead to post-traumatic growth by helping us learn, evolve, or choose a more positive path. The more resilient we are, the more likely that we’ll be able to
benefit in this way.
During this session, you’ll explore factors that could test your resilience and cause stress. The protective strategies suggested can help protect you from the harmful impacts of stress and enhance your ability to cope when a crisis does occur. Brainstorming options to overcome challenges, taking action when you feel paralyzed by fear or worry, learning from your mistakes, and building a network of support are just some of the protective strategies to consider.
Creating a plan may not help us avoid the crisis but can make it easier to get through it. Join us for this interactive session.
The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a Distinguished Lecture by Prof. Gehan Amaratunga, Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
This seminar is titled "Quantum Dots to Light" and will be held on Monday, September 25, 2023 at 11:00 AM in QNC 1501.

Across digital media, Black people are portrayed in ways that are derogatory and harmful–if we are depicted at all. The representation of afro-textured hair is noticeably limited, with options ranging from comically large afros, unstyled “dread” locs, and misshapen cornrows. Through projects like ‘Ye or Nay? and the Open Source Afro Hair Library, artist A.M. Darke explores the consumption of Black bodies and the construction of a Black virtuality. In this talk, Darke shares a critical and liberatory approach for
engaging marginalized communities in games and digital media.
Register for the Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium (CGEC) Fair 2023 to explore Master’s and PhD opportunities with Canada’s Top Engineering Graduate programs.
The CGEC brings together nine of Canada’s top universities – Concordia, McGill, McMaster, Queen’s, TMU, UBC, UofT, UWaterloo and York – to address the urgent need for qualified engineers who can solve today’s most complex technical, social and environmental challenges.
Representatives from all 9 partner universities will be present at every event, so you can meet and speak with faculty, admissions advisors and students in graduate programs to answer your questions about your desired field of research and how to apply. The CGEC runs from September 19 to October 3and is hosting a free fair on each participating university campus.
UWaterloo day is on Tuesday Sept 26, at the E7 2nd Floor Events Space.
