Annual 1A SYDE/BME Design Dayz 2017 Event




Many universities ask their graduating students to answer a few questions about how they found their program and university experience. Our SYDE 2017 undergraduate class decided that they would do something different. Read here to some of the "highlights" which includes a link to their full report.
The University of Waterloo International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team does it again. For the 4th year in a row, the team earned Gold Standing at the competition. This year they brought home the Best Poster prize!

The next big innovation to hit the marketplace could be among the Waterloo student projects on display at the annual Capstone Design symposia beginning March 16.
Senior-year engineering students at Waterloo will exhibit projects ranging from a technology that reduces agricultural water waste through intelligent irrigation systems to a device that may help people with Parkinson`s disease avoid falls.
A presentation of design solutions and prototypes that attempt to solve global health and engineering design problems in developing nations:
- indoor air quality
- water access and transportation
- medical access and transportation
- many more
Friday, Nov, 27th, 2:30 - 5:00 pm
UW Main Campus E5 - 6th Floor
Our 2B SYDE students, Katharine Carras, will be featured on a radio show today at 1:30. She is going to talk about working at Kik as a co-op and the Kik Codes Project. You can listen live at 570news.com
Systems Design Engineering students will exhibit product designs that are themed around the Internet-of-Things (IOT) this week.
15 student groups in a third-year Systems Design Engineering course will present and demonstrate various product design prototypes.
The student groups were each required to select from a taxonomy of IOT application areas, namely:
The maker movement — a global do-it-yourself culture of people who make things — has inspired a group of Waterloo Engineering students to create a soldering iron that’s safe and easy to use.
“We specifically designed the Solder Otter for the Maker Market,” said Vanessa Guido, a systems design engineering student and chief executive officer of Solder Otter. “We’ve had a lot of great feedback on our product.” [Read more]
