Engineering researchers to showcase innovations

Monday, December 5, 2011

Some of the brightest Waterloo Engineering faculty members and students will showcase leading-edge technology at this week’s WE Innovate. More than 50 exhibits will be displayed at the annual exhibit of Waterloo Engineering research December 7 from 4 to 7 p.m. on the third floor of the Engineering 5 building. The public event will include demonstrations of: mechatronic devices used in planetary rovers and sports engineering; adhesive technology that mimics a gecko’s footpad; equipment used to monitor and better understand early embryo development and cancer metastases; projects related to hybrid-electric vehicle development; and thin-walled steel crush tube testing for automatic crash resistance.
