The proliferation of AI has placed increased focus on the thorny topic of ethics: to what extent are engineers responsible for—and to what extent can they encode—the ethical behavior of the AI applications they design?

Pearl Sullivan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, the Registrar's Office, Engineering Alumni Affairs and the Office of Alumni Relations are pleased to invite you and your guests to an informal complimentary post-convocation reception.

Join us at the Student Life Centre in the Great Hall to celebrate your milestone achievement! The receptions start right after each convocation ceremony.

President and Vice-Chancellor, Feridun Hamdullahpur invites you to join fellow UWaterloo alumni at the new offices of Embark Technology as we bring together industry experts (who just happen to be former Waterloo students!) for a panel discussion on the challenges of “Building a Canadian Startup in California.”

The Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy is pleased to host Umar Waqas, Director of Engineering Services for Energy+ Inc. on April 24.

On Saturday March 16 from 8:30a.m. - 4:30p.m., the University of Waterloo and Impact Alliance will be teaming up to host the Global Solutions Conference!

Join the Water Institute on March 1, in DWE 3518 to learn about AquaHacking 2019: a multi-stage competition that engages entrepreneurs, raising awareness of water issues and fostering their commitment to solving them.

Come watch the finalists of the 3MT faculty-based heats present their research in the 3MT university-wide final competition.

Students, faculty, staff and alumni are welcome to watch the Canadian Engineering Competition (CEC) 2019 competition events. Various competitions in design, consulting, presentation and debate will take place throughout E7 from Friday, March 1 until Sunday, March 3.

The four-part Canadian Blockchain Olympiad Training Camp programme to prepare Canadian students for entering the 2019 International Blockchain Olympiad (www.ibcol.org), a multidisciplinary design & building competition for solving real-world challenges through decentralised apps.

This year, the Management Engineering's Capstone Design Symposium is showcasing the capstone design projects of fifteen teams of senior students. Each of these teams has tackled an emergent problem, in many cases sourced from a client company, with far-reaching implications in industries and areas as diverse as education, retail, manufacturing, software, non-profits, airlines, government,  fashion, and self-improvement.

Themes of this year’s projects include data analytics, data-driven decision-making and the design of systems that leverage this information into effective products and solutions.  In order to create these comprehensive tools, management engineering projects are often highly multidisciplinary, drawing from concepts in information systems, process design, behavioral science, mathematical modelling and optimization, and data science.

There are many projects to discover, take a look at the 2019 Management Engineering Capstone Design Projects.
