What if gene therapy could not only treat age-related diseases but cure them altogether? It’s a lofty goal — but one that’s well within reach.
Canada’s supply chains will get a powerful boost from artificial intelligence (AI) as an industry-led network of partners teams up with Waterloo Engineering to help drive economic growth through technological innovation.
A fast, simple and inexpensive test developed by researchers at Waterloo Engineering could help billions of people in the developing world avoid getting sick from contaminated water.
Engineering projects that could be the next big thing will be on display at the annual Capstone Design Symposia taking place in March.
Formerly known as fourth-year design projects, Capstone Design is the culmination of the Waterloo Engineering student experience. During their senior year, students, generally working in teams of four, conceptualize and design a project related to their chosen discipline.
