Meet SYDE's 2021 Schulich Leader

Systems Design Engineering (SYDE) student awarded Schulich Leader Scholarship, a national undergraduate STEM scholarship. 

Clearco challenges the status-quo with unbiased investment opportunities for entrepreneurs.

From about the age of 10, Andrew D’Souza (BASc ’08) began to think of inventive ways to earn money. An early entrepreneur, whose family immigrated to Canada from India, D’Souza started providing services like paper-delivery, lawn mowing and dog walking to his neighbours. Later, he took on part-time jobs to save for university because he wanted to avoid debt.

SYDE’s Professor John Yeow has been awarded the 2021 IEEE NTC Distinguished Service Award by the IEEE Nanotechnology Technical Council.  The award in large part reflects his distinguished service and accomplishments as an Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine.

Turning research into commerce

An alumnus of Waterloo Engineering who parlayed his graduate research into a startup company that is out to solve worldwide water problems has been recognized by a national innovation organization.

Jason Deglint, a co-founder of Blue Lion Labs, is one of five winners of a Mitacs Entrepreneur Award for turning research into businesses that impact the lives of Canadians.

WATERLOO — Doctors treating COVID-19 patients could be helped by artificial-intelligence (AI) technology developed by University of Waterloo researchers.

“The goal here is can we build AI that can act as collaborator to a clinician,” said Alexander Wong, a systems design engineering professor at the University of Waterloo, and Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging.

Today the Faculty of Engineering has shared detailed and program specific class format plans for September 2021 with our incoming and current students.

Each department has posted details in a LEARN course for current undergraduate engineering students and in a TEAMS channel for current architecture students. These details are based on the information we shared with the Registrar’s Office, which is responsible for University-wide schedules and classroom space.
