Researchers at National Taiwan University have recognized the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµÂ as an impressive force among Canada’s engineering institutions. À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering ranked second in Canada in the 2015 Taiwan Ranking’s engineering field, and first for Chemical Engineering. The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ also ranked in Canada’s top five for the Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering subjects.

Nafeesa Mahboob, an electrical and computer engineering doctoral canadiate, received the Basil Papadias Student Paper Award for the best student paper at the held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

The paper was co-authored by her two doctoral supervisors Claudio Canizares and Catherine Rosenberg, both electrical and computer engineering professors. The award was presented with a plaque and 1000 euros.

Electrical and Computer Engineering professor  helped to develop the first source of on-demand single time-bin entangle photon pairs with no possibility of producing extra unwanted pairs. Reimer, who is part of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), worked with a team of international researchers to complete the project.

For the second time in two years, two À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering startups have been chosen out of hundreds of others as contenders for the 2015 James Dyson Award.

Grasp and Voltera V-One, both founded as Capstone Design projects, are among five Canadian finalists for the award.

Two management engineering teams won the top two awards in the undergraduate category at this year's Canadian Operations Research Society (CORS) 2015 Student Paper Competition held in Montreal.  A third team placed in the competition's top five. All the students' papers were also their 2015 À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering Capstone Design projects.
