The six Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges aim to direct the focus and efforts of our engineering community towards the most pressing and significant issues facing Canada and its people today and in the coming decade. This initiative will also inspire and mobilize our engineering students and faculty to develop solutions to these critical challenges, enabling us to collectively contribute to addressing the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals.
Students at the University of Waterloo are highlighting their contributions to the Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges through a video submission. In these videos, students must showcase specific instances of when, how, and where they engaged with the CEGCs, emphasizing the impact of their work.
