Dr. Pejoohan Tavassoti, a civil engineering professor at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, explainsÌýhow extreme temperatures are causing concrete to expand beyond design limits, stressing the need for climate-resilient infrastructure.
À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ grad Daniel Rust funds scholarships for students entering the skilled trades, supporting future careers through Capstone Painting and community partnerships.
A national engineering society has recognized a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering professor for his outstanding contributions to civil engineering research, innovation and leadership.
Dr. Reinhold Schuster, a leader in cold-formed steel (CFS) engineering, was awarded the for his transformative contributions to CFS education, research, and standards development. His work, including harmonizing North American steel standards and advancing sustainable practices, has shaped the industry and inspired generations of engineers.
Daniel RustÌý a fourth year Architectural Engineering student, is offering a to a student pursuing a career in the skilled trades sector. Rust, who is in his final few terms of his Architectural Engineering degree, also founded and operates .
Fifty-four years ago six young men met as undergrads of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ civil engineering program and sparked a friendship that would go on to span their lifetimes. Bill Vogl, Ken Mackenzie, Don Whalen, Norm D’Andrea, Oleh Dubek and Mike Kellestine graduated with civil engineering degrees in 1974 and have nurtured a friendship that has spanned five decades.ÌýÌý
"Perspective", "Insightful", "Sustainable". These are just a few words echoing last week's impactful event.
Hosted by Professor Nadine Ibrahim as part of the Exploring University With You initiative, high school students were invited to campus for a taste of university life. The highlight? A dynamic lecture on "Sustainable Cities" through a LEGO® activity. ðŸ™ï¸
Imaginations soared as students built their dream sustainable cities, creating a future of innovation and progress. From intricate models to thoughtful descriptions of sustainability features, each creation was a testament to creativity and community.
When asked to sum up their thoughts in just one word, the responses spoke volumes: "Creativity", "Sustainability", "Future", "Progression", "Interesting", "Community", "Innovative".
Here's to fostering the leaders of tomorrow and shaping a brighter, more sustainable future together!Ìý
Fourth-year student Keiara Raitt grew up in a hockey family, hitting the ice for the first time at the age of four. Now, seventeen years later, she not only skates with the precision of a seasoned athlete but also navigates the rigorous demands of an architectural engineering program at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.
This April, the @waterloosteelbridge team represented Canada in the American Society of Civil Engineers Competition in Troy, NY. Amidst fierce competition the team constructed a bridge that would go over a river in just 25.5 minutes, all while adhering to strict guidelines and problem statement.
The team excelled this year and won the following awards:
2nd in Cost Estimation
2nd in Aesthetics
3rd in Stiffness
3rd in Structural Efficiency
They are now set on the upcoming competition in Quebec City from May 8-12, where they aim to overcome last year’s 4th place finish and shoot for a spot on the podium. 💪ðŸ†
Congratulations & we wish you the best of luck in May!
Congratulations to the winning Capstone teams!!!
