��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering recent alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive virtual conversation with ��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering alumna, Lisa Tong (BASc ’01, Chemical Engineering), who recently published her book Hello (World) Me, a personal self-guided coach to self, awareness, understanding, and choices — to creating the life YOU want. 

��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering students and alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive in-person workshop with ��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering alumnus Ron Ojanpera (BASc 1969, mechanical engineering). The “Working the Room” workshop is based on 50 years of Ron’s personal business experience.  

Women in AI & Robotics and the RoboHub at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ have co-organized a fantastic networking and educational opportunity for the Robotics community.

This event brings together students, researchers, and industry professionals in the field of robotics to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Participants will engage in discussions, share research findings, and explore cutting-edge developments in robotics technology.

Our aim is to foster cross-sector networking, allowing students to learn from leading researchers and industry experts. The event will feature presentations by researchers and industry professionals, followed by a panel discussion on the transformative potential of robotics to benefit society and create a technologically advanced and sustainable future. More details about the speakers will be announced soon.

During the event, all participants can connect over lunch.

We'll also feature student spotlight talks.

While Women in AI & Robotics' focus is on increasing women-identifying representation, the event is open and free to attend for everyone, regardless of gender.

This event is supported by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ottawa.

Explore the social location of men in society and how has that impacted our society, the way we grow and move within a community, and the way we show up (or don’t show up) for those who need us, such as marginalized groups or those with less power.

The ��ݮ��Ƶ Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are pleased to present a workshop event on “Quantum-Nanomaterials & Devices."

This event will take place on Monday, 16 October 2023 from 8:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in QNC 0101.

Jiwoong Park from the University of Chicago will be the keynote speaker presenting at 11:15 AM. A networking lunch will be hosted after the keynote presentation.

With recent waves of layoffs, high-profile workplace harassment cases, and a notoriously short career length for gender minorities and people of colour, the transition of new workers into the game industry involves navigating a spate of barriers to equity and success that have been understudied in academic research. The First Three Years is an ongoing longitudinal study of graduates of game programs in Canada and the United States, following the journey of 207 students as they move into the game industry. In this workshop, our research team will summarise the primary challenges students have identified in their game programs. This summary includes equity and diversity issues inherent in common curricular practices such as the efficacy of capstone courses and internships, the inclusion of crunch-like practices in the classroom, the systematic failure to inform students of actual workplace conditions, and the mismatch between student preparation and industry hiring practices. Afterwards, participants will address whether/how these problems manifest in their own institutions, and what solutions might improve equity outcomes for students seeking careers in games.

This event is part of the “ADE for Game Communities: Enculturing Anti-Racism, Decolonization, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ADE) in Games Research and Creation” series from the ADE Committee of the Games Institute, University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, and is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, increase balance and stillness, increase awareness, and even expand acceptance and compassion for yourself and others.  Each week will vary slightly. “Practices” include breathing, mindfulness, body awareness, earthly grounding, spacial awareness, centring, and more.

Sessions are facilitated from a well-being perspective. No religious affiliation is needed. Everyone is welcome to participate. All experience levels are welcome from advanced practitioners to those who are trying meditation  for the first time.

Why not give it a try! Gift yourself with a few moments of stillness to reset and recharge. It’s as true for  people as it is with technology as well as people...we can all benefit from shutting down for a few moments and recharging.

This session is open to all members of the FoE community. Please bring your own meditation pillow or mat to sit on.
