Engineering Day 2017

Two electrical and computer engineering faculty members were named fellows of the prestigious Canadian Academy of Engineering on June 27.

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.

A robot designed to safely defuse landmines without an explosion was one of six major winners at the Norman Esch Capstone Design Awards competition for senior Waterloo Engineering students held March 30.

Jordan Grant is Waterloo Engineering's co-op student of the year.

The University of Waterloo honoured the management engineering student and five others at a ceremony on March 15 with the University’s top award for students in a co-op program for their contributions to co-operative education and their community.

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.

Michael Pope, a chemical engineering professor, is the recipient of $50,000 in funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation for a facility to house his research into next-generation electrochemical devices.

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.

Six engineering researchers are receiving more than $3.3 million to partner with Canadian-based companies and government organizations on strategic research projects.
