I know this is difficult news to hear the first week back from our holiday break and days after hearing about the loss of one of our second-year chemical engineering students. It is with deep sadness that I share that Aidan Walker, a second-year mechatronics engineering student, passed away on Saturday, January 2nd due to a brain aneurysm.

Long-time faculty member heads MME

A Waterloo mechanical and mechatronics engineering (MME) professor started as chair of the department at the beginning of 2021.

Experts at Waterloo Engineering are teaming up with counterparts at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to help Canadian companies capitalize on the enormous potential of metal 3D printing technologies.

Waterloo Engineering faculty members will advance their work through inaugural Tier 1 Canada Research Chairs.  

Catherine Burns, a systems design engineering professor, is the new Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Human Factors in Healthcare Systems. 

More than a year after publishing a paper that attracted worldwide attention, a Waterloo Engineering researcher is working towards commercialization of technology to tackle climate change.

Yimin Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, was inspired by nature to create an “artificial leaf” that converts harmful carbon dioxide into an alternative fuel.

A new study by Waterloo Engineering researchers found that targeting wetland restoration in heavily farmed areas would dramatically reduce the amount of nitrogen polluting rivers, lakes and coastal areas.

The researchers, who collaborated with a University of Waterloo alumnus who is now a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), examined detailed data on wetland locations and nitrogen loads from fertilizer on farm fields throughout the United States.

Students at Waterloo Engineering had another strong showing at the recent Fall 2020 Concept $5K pitch competition.

Two of four teams that earned $5,000 prizes at the virtual event, which is staged three times a year, featured engineering members.

Ayush Bhargava, a first-year management engineering student, and Raymond Wu, a first-year biomedical engineering student, are members of ChangeRoom.
