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.
