Canada's Largest Engineering School

An interdisciplinary team from the University of Waterloo premiered an interactive art exhibit that brings the story of the Athabasca Glacier to life, blending science, technology and art to spark deeper conversations about climate change. 

The Life and Legacy of the Athabasca Glacier was created by researchers and students from the Faculties of Engineering, Environment and Arts, in collaboration with multimedia artists and imagery provided by Guardians of the Ice.

A research team led by Waterloo Engineering students, including several undergraduates, has created a tissue-like hydrogel material for potential use for artificial muscles in robotics.

Hydrogels are soft, biocompatible materials with great promise for developing microrobots to perform non-invasive biomedical tasks within the human body, including the gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts.

Two Faculty of Engineering professors were among the winners at this year's Kitchener Waterloo Oktoberfest BMO Women of the Year Awards, which celebrate women advancing Waterloo Region through leadership, innovation and service.

Dr. Mary Robinson received the educator award, and Dr. Sirisha Rambhatla received the Vanguard award at the annual ceremony.
