WIN Thematic Seminar Series: Sustainable Nanomaterials for Environmental Management Systems

Sustainable nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-like nanoparticles obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose fibres. Several properties of CNCs, such as their availability, low cost, high mechanical strength, a large number of surface functional groups, high surface area per volume and aspect ratio have led to an increasing interest in using them for adsorption and controlled release applications. Pristine CNCs were incorporated into hydrogel beads in order to eliminate the need for centrifugation.

This week, on June 23rd, was International Women in Engineering day! We celebrate all women pursuing their engineering ambitions.

Martine McGregor is pursuing a PhD degree in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Dr. Stewart McLachlin, PhD, PEng.

Today the Faculty of Engineering has shared detailed and program specific class format plans for September 2021 with our incoming and current students.

Each department has posted details in a LEARN course for current undergraduate engineering students and in a TEAMS channel for current architecture students. These details are based on the information we shared with the Registrar’s Office, which is responsible for University-wide schedules and classroom space.

A phenomenon by which the value of goods and/or services is increased by the number of people or participants involved. This is known as "The Network Effect". When properly utilized, this effect can lead to accelerating progress and commercial success.

GEDIx: A 30-minute Exchange featuring Glove Systems and EXO Insights

Digital twins and augmented reality can be used for simulating physical objects and processes. This can be especially helpful for improving their design to better ensure the dependability of infrastructure and operations where lives might be at stake. With the use of such digital realities, one can also create a competitive edge to improve efficiency and advance capabilities.
