Alumni helped develop device now in COVID spotlight
A medical device that four graduates of Waterloo Engineering helped develop made the spotlight when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that hundreds of units were on order to help in the fight against COVID-19.
“That was certainly a proud moment,” said Michael Vermeer, a member of the first mechatronics engineering class to graduate in 2008. “It was great to know all the hard work that went into that device was getting its time to shine helping Canadians.”
