Nanotechnology Engineering has revolutionized medical diagnosis, immunization, early disease detection and treatments. University of Waterloo Nanotechnology Engineering students continue to push the envelope and create new leading edge biomedical tools.
This year’s Nanotechnology Engineering Capstone Design Symposium took place on March 23 in Engineering 7’s meeting space. Twenty two teams of fourth year Nanotechnology Engineering students presented the results of their Capstone Design projects to industry representatives, potential employers, faculty, staff, family and friends. Each project gave the team members an opportunity to experience and actualize the concepts of project management, research and design taught in the Nanotechnology Engineering program.
A highlight this year was Team 20’s design of an Improved Strain Sensor for a Virtual Reality Glove. The members of Team 20 are Adam Powell, Brendan Barber, Logan Ingalls, and Vyshna Krishnakumar. Congratulations to the members of Team 20 for winning third place in this year’s competition!
