A group of new students at Waterloo Engineering are starting their undergraduate degrees with $100,000 in backing from the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships program.

Tyler West and Dhruv Upadhyay will study mechatronics engineering, Peter Zhu and Yashvardhan Mulki are incoming software engineering students, and Christina Hanna is starting the nanotechnology engineering program.

A professor at Waterloo Engineering will lead testing and development of a prototype of a machine to disinfect personal protective equipment (PPE) that was donated this week by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC).

The machine was developed by engineers at Toyota, in partnership with two local companies, after its plant operations were suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

An incoming student will start her studies in systems design engineering at Waterloo this fall backed by a prestigious scholarship worth up to $100,000.

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have found that outdoor watering restrictions in Canada do little to reduce overall water consumption during the summer.

A study by Sara Finley, a PhD student, and Nandita Basu, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, looked at 10 mid-sized cities with summer watering bylaws and five cities that don’t impose any limits.
