Six young women entering STEM disciplines in science, technology, engineering and mathematics will begin their studies this year with $12,000 HeForShe IMPACT Scholarships from the University of Waterloo.
The University of Waterloo named a professor and longtime advocate for increased female participation in her field as its first-ever director of Women in Computer Science.
In her new role, Joanne Atlee will continue to strive to help women feel comfortable and confident in the field largely dominated by men. She is an expert in model-based software engineering and a professor in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at Waterloo.
Four professors from the University of Waterloo are among the new fellows of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) announced today, peer-elected as the best in their field.
The fellowship of the RSC consists of individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the arts, the humanities, science, and Canadian public life.
They are travelling from as close as Oakville, Ontario and as far away as Coquitlam, British Columbia, but this year’s Schulich Leader scholarship winners were all drawn to the Univeristy of Waterloo by its reputation for innovation, high standards, and entrepreneurial spirit.
For some, calling Waterloo home will mean the realization of a lifelong dream:
Two Waterloo engineering students have completed an Enterprise Co-op term by creating the first autonomous vehicle to drive on a Canadian road.
From advanced engineering to developing a deeper understanding of the Arctic, graduate and post-graduate students at the University of Waterloo are critical contributors to research that benefits Canadians.
It’s a competitive field, where top students from institutions across Canada strive to prove that their research deserves to be funded. At Waterloo, postgraduate and postdoctoral students are awarded more funding per capita for that research than at any other institution in Canada.
A young company of three Nanotechnology Engineering students from the University of Waterloo is one step closer to its mission of eradicating counterfeit products after winning $25,000 at the Velocity Fund Finals today.
Winners of the Velocity Fund $25,000 prizes.
For some, it’s building a wind turbine to harness enough energy to race a car. For others, it’s creating a boat out of cardboard and duct tape. For six-year-old Max Griffiths, there isn’t just one highlight of his first camp experience in 2015 — there are many.
Engineering Science Quest, better known as ESQ, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The milestone will be marked July 22 at a breakfast event in Engineering 5’s Sedra Student Design Centre. One of the speakers will be Michelle Miller, who co-founded the ESQ summer camp in the fall of 1990.
Ten of Waterloo Region’s most progressive startups will pitch for one of four $25,000 prizes at the Velocity Fund Finals at the University of Waterloo next Thursday.
Judges will present one winner with an additional $10,000 for the top hardware pitch. Another 10 startups will compete for one of three $5,000 awards.
