ChatGPT is breaking new ground in conversational AI but professor says it can’t be trusted – yet
The release of ChatGPT, a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) created by OpenAI, has refreshed debates on the ethical creation and use of new technologies.
Engineering alumnus makes his mark as a scientist, craftsman, musician and artist
It takes a great artist to create a great violin. The result is even more inspiring if that artist is an intrepid scientist and first-rate engineer. George Yu (BASc ’86, systems design engineering) is all of these things and more.
Alumni, students, employers, industry partners, media, and members of the general public are invited to join us in Engineering 7 for the Systems Design Engineering Capstone Design event
Abstract
With an increasing demand for better medical diagnostic systems, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of medical diagnostics have never been more crucial. Field electron emission (FE) based X-ray source which is a more responsive and controllable alternative to traditional thermionic-emission-based X-ray sources has stimulated much research interest.
The Department of Systems Design Engineering invites all community members to the SYDE-BME Coffee House! This event is an evening of food and drink with special performances by SYDE-BME students, faculty and staff.
Want to showcase your skill or talent? Complete the performance sign-up form.
Please note the event is restricted to age 19+.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
