Creative ideas for a proposed all-wood ��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering building won a student team first prize in an international contest.

The Structural Timber and Applied Research Team (START) was recognized in the student submission category of the sponsored by Rothoblaas, a timber technology company located in Italy.

Two civil and environmental doctoral candidates received outstanding student presentation awards in the hydrology section of the annual .

Danyka Byrnes and Robert Chlumsky spoke about their research at the event held online in December. Considered to be one of the premier international geophysical conferences, it normally draws over 25,000 participants.

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

��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering researchers found that transit-ridesharing links in poorly serviced suburban neighbourhoods, where frequent bus service on fixed routes is cost-prohibitive, could help get people out of their cars by making transit more convenient.

Michelle Liu carefully plans each hour of each day three weeks in advance to figure out where she needs to be and when.

Between volunteering up to 40 hours a month in several different roles on and off campus and keeping on top of her graduate studies, she constantly checks her changing calendar.

“I call it 80 productive hours a week, divided between volunteering and my studies,” Liu says with a laugh.

Top ��ݮ��Ƶ teams at this year’s Ontario Engineering Competition (OEC) will compete against the best from across Canada on campus later this winter.

��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering students placed first and third in both the Innovative Design and Senior Design categories and second in the Junior Design category at OEC held at McMaster University earlier this month. The first and second place teams will move on to compete in the (CEC) to be held March 1-3 in Engineering 7.  

An environmental engineering graduate studies student and his supervisor recently won the 2017 Water Resources Research Editors' Choice Award for a paper based on their research.

Canada's current wetland protection efforts have overlooked how the environment naturally protects fresh-water resources from agricultural fertilizer contaminants, engineering researchers from the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ's Water Institute have found.

The next big innovation to hit the marketplace could be among the ��ݮ��Ƶ student projects on display at the annual Capstone Design symposia beginning March 16. 

Senior-year engineering students at ��ݮ��Ƶ will exhibit projects ranging from a technology that reduces agricultural water waste through intelligent irrigation systems to a device that may help people with Parkinson`s disease avoid falls.

Six engineering researchers are receiving more than $3.3 million to partner with Canadian-based companies and government organizations on strategic research projects.

Taylor Porter, a ��ݮ��Ƶ civil engineering master's candidate, won second place in the 2015 .
