Events

The Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium (CGEC) brings together six of Canada’s top universities to address the urgent need for qualified engineers who can solve today’s most complex technical, social and environmental challenges. A unique and progressive recruitment initiative, the Consortium is hosting a free virtual fair, to provide you an opportunity to learn more about the value of a graduate engineering degree and explore your options.

Do you want to be part of the beginning of something unique? Are you interested in all fields of sciences AND computer sciences? UW Integrated Natural Sciences & Computer Sciences Club is looking for general members!

What can a graduate degree do for you?

Join our engineering departments from November 2-4, 2021 as they host Ask me Anything events for graduate programs.

If you are considering a graduate degree, this is a great opportunity to:

Join us on November 5 as we welcome Alumni from our graduate programs to speak about the impact their graduate degree had on their career path. This is a great event to attend if you are curious about how a graduate degree in engineering can support you!

Date: Friday, November 5
Time: 12pm-1pm EDT

Panelists:

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Erin Mahoney,
Commissioner of Environmental Services for York Region and Douglas Wright
Engineer-in-Residence will present: York Region’s One Water Story…
recognizing the value of water in all its forms.

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.

Abstract: As one of the most essential factors of learning environment, lighting in classroom has been found to have significant impact on student performance. Moreover, brightness level and correlated color temperature (CCT) are the two key luminous properties that have been examined in many relevant studies. And researchers were increasingly focusing on the diversity of luminous requirements under different learning context.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has launched a new seminar series, Quantum Nano Collision (QNC) Seminar Series, to deepen the engagement of the Waterloo researchers who work at the interface of quantum and nanotechnologies. This seminar series will also provide opportunities for senior graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates to present their innovative work along with the faculty members to bring together the excitement around these cutting-edge technologies that would shape our future.​​​​​​
