Voltera V-One, a custom circuit board printer developed as a Capstone Design project by Waterloo nanotechnology and mechatronics engineering students, has made the international shortlist of the prestigious James Dyson
Two women entering Waterloo Engineering programs are among six campus-wide to receive the first University of Waterloo HeForShe IMPACT Scholarships.
Two Schulich Leader Scholarship recipients are now first-year Waterloo Engineering students.
Ella Rasmussen and Aaron Grenke have both joined the Faculty's mechanical and mechatronics engineering department.
A robotics competitor since Grade 6, Rasmussen co-founded and co-captained a team that took home 15 awards from regional, provincial, and international events in its 2013-2014 season.
Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Michael Reimer helped to develop the first source of on-demand single time-bin entangle photon pairs with no possibility of producing extra unwanted pairs. Reimer, who is part of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), worked with a team of international researchers to complete the project.
Waterloo Engineering grad Ibraheem Khan is praised for his contributions to Canada's economy in a news piece from CBC today. His company, Smarter Alloys, just announced that they will begin manufacturing prototypes at a Waterloo facility, and is cited as a a "good example of growth" for Canada.
Two second-year mechatronics students have developed a self-driving vehicle that is the first to travel on a Canadian road.
Waterloo Engineering automotive research projects are receiving financial support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation's (CFI) Automotive Partnership Canada Fund. The two initiatives will help improve fuel efficiency: one by developing lightweight parts and the other by designing intelligent control systems.
Electrical and computer engineering faculty members and a doctoral candidate have been honoured with best paper awards.
Adam Neale and Manoj Sachdev, both electrical and computer engineering professors, have been awarded the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference 2014 Best Poster Paper Award for their work entitled "A 0.4 V 75 kbit SRAM Macro in 28 nm CMOS Featuring a 3-Adjacent MBU Correcting ECC." They'll be presented with their award at the keynote session of CICC 2015 being held in San Jose, California next month.
Canadian Foundation of Innovation funding of $30 million for the development of an advanced research computing facility will enable Canadian researchers to gain a deeper understanding of how the scientific, social, health and economic worlds connect.
