The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ has partnered with the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) to help engineers remain agile as the world of work changes.

WatSPEED, the Faculty of EngineeringÌýand OSPE have launched an innovative new series of professional development courses designed to help engineering professionals compete in an increasingly digital landscape.

The courses will enable engineers, technicians, technologists, leadersÌýand managers to navigate industry disruption and adapt to rapid changes in technology.

Ìýat À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering are developing exoskeleton legs capable of thinking and making control decisions on their own using sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

The system combines computer vision and deep-learning AI to mimic how able-bodied people walk by seeing their surroundings and adjusting their movements.

Pearl Sullivan,ÌýÀ¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ's former dean of engineering and the first woman to hold the position, died on November 28 after a 12-year battle with cancer.

Passionate about supporting students, she was dedicated to ensuring they had a full understanding of engineering principles as well as the tools andPearl Sullivan facilities they needed to succeed. ÌýÌý

The much-anticipated REEM-C recently arrived on campus and has already started an extensive training program.

The humanoid robot isÌýdescribed as the slightly smaller and lighter brother of TALOS, the full-size black and purple robot that was welcomed with great Katja Mombaur and REEM-Cfanfare at Engineering 7 almost two years ago.

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering’s RoboHub is highlighted in an episode of the "The Age of A.I.",Ìýa documentary series covering the ways artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks are changing the world.

Engineering 7’s state-of-the-art robotics research, testing, and training facilityÌýis profiled inÌýEpisode 6 entitled Will a robot take my job?, one of the world’s most googled questions.

Municipal transit services could increase ridership by co-ordinating with, not competing against, commercial ridesharing companies.

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering researchers found that transit-ridesharing links in poorly serviced suburban neighbourhoods, where frequent bus service on fixed routes is cost-prohibitive,Ìýcould help get people out of their cars by making transit more convenient.

Hackers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ topped counterparts at more than 2,000 other schools to take first-place honours in a North American league for the popular invention competitions.

The result reflected the fact over 3,200 À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ students took part in more than 150 events supported by during the 2017-2018 season and finished in the top three at 30 of them.

The (AMC), a joint partnership between McMaster University, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, and Western University, is helping to accelerate industry adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies, which will create jobs and strengthen the province’s reputation as a leading manufacturing region.

Since AMC was launched in April 2017, nearly 100 companies have benefited from the advanced manufacturing experts and state-of-the-art facilities at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.Ìý

More than 100 people got a feel for the future when University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ researchers offered rides today to demonstrate their progress on development of a self-driving car.

, the modified Lincoln MKZ hybrid sedan at the heart of the project, completed several complex manoeuvres on its own as it took guests from the media, the University and industry partners around a test track in À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.
