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.

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

The Problem Lab presents the Quantum Valley Investments® Problem Pitch. The competition invites teams of up to four students to choose an important industry problem and thoroughly research its history, scope, and impact. Students pitch their findings to a panel of judges on July 11th to compete for a share of up to $30,000 in funding.

Co-operative Education and The Problem Lab are pleased to offer students the opportunity to win one of two scholarship awards of up to $1,500!

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.”

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.

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?

The Associate Dean International invites Engineering International Students to join him for an informal coffee break in the Engineering C&D. This is an opportunity to let us know how we can improve the experience of studying at Waterloo for International Students.

Since the last fundraiser was so successful, EWB has partnered again with Krispy Kreme to have another fundraiser to raise money for social enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa to help reduce poverty.

The Problem Lab invites you to watch the Quantum Valley Investments® Problem Pitch Competition.

Teams have each chosen an important industry problem, and will now pitch their research to a panel of judges for a chance to win up to $30k in grant funding. The 5-minute pitches will demonstrate each competitor’s knowledge of their problem’s history, scope, and impact.
