Waterloo Engineering faculty members Lan Wei and Aiping Yu were two of four researchers campus-wide who received funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund April 15.
Three electrical and computer engineering faculty members are recipients of the Engineering Society's Teaching Award.
The winner of the award is Derek Wright, a lecturer in the ECE department who focuses on bringing hands-on learning to the classroom, in addition to industry exposure and independent decision making.
The next big innovation to hit the marketplace could be among the Waterloo student projects on display at the annual Capstone Design symposia beginning March 16.
Senior-year engineering students at Waterloo will exhibit projects ranging from a technology that reduces agricultural water waste through intelligent irrigation systems to a device that may help people with Parkinson`s disease avoid falls.
An easy-to-use system that enables farmers to reduce agricultural water waste through real-time data cleaned up at this year's Canadian Engineering Competition held at McGill University March 4-6.
Designed by five electrical and computer engineering students, Project Reservoir is an agricultural water control and environmental monitoring system consisting of low-cost field sensors which collect real-time soil and environmental conditions.
