Benjamin Ecclestone, a PhD candidate in Systems Design Engineering (SYDE), won a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship with $50,000 in annual support for three years. This prestigious federal funding will help advance his research project, “label-free histological imaging for immediate cancer diagnosis”.
On November 29, the SYDE-BME community gathered for the return of a favourite tradition, the Coffee House. This event features artistic, athletic, and comedic performances by SYDE and BME students, faculty, and staff.
Thank you to the SYDE-BME undergraduate social reps for their work organizing the event!
Engineering and health experts at the University of Waterloo are collaborating on research that may lead to breakthroughs in preventing a serious, all-too-common injury — broken bones.
Their findings could prove especially important to elderly people typically more prone to falls and hip fractures. In fact, understanding the mechanics of how bones weaken over time could help serve the needs of the aging population in many parts of today’s developed world.
The Department of Systems Design Engineering (SYDE) is proud to announce that second-year SYDE student Mayurah Omkararuban is the first recipient of the Professor Igor Ivkovic Memorial Award.
Systems Design Engineering (SYDE) alum Christopher Pratley (BASc '91) represented Microsoft at the Waterloo Engineering Alumni Achievement Medal and Award ceremony last week to accept the Friend of the Faculty Award.
Pratley joined Microsoft a few years after graduating from Waterloo and currently serves as Corporate Vice President of media-related services, products and technologies in Office 365.
Children who have been bullied or have witnessed a friend being bullied often suffer in silence, not knowing how to process their traumatic experiences or respond to bullying in the future.
