A professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering will lead testing and development of a prototype of a machine to disinfect personal protective equipment (PPE) that was donated this week by .

The machine was developed by engineers at Toyota, in partnership with two local companies, after its plant operations were suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

An incoming student will start her studies in systems design engineering at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ this fall backed by a prestigious scholarship worth up to $100,000.

Anson Yu of Langley, BC, was drawn to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ by its co-op program after she was named a Loran Scholar by a foundation dedicated to finding and nurturing high-potential young Canadians.

Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering have found that outdoor watering restrictions in Canada do little to reduce overall water consumption during the summer.

A study by Sara Finley, a PhD student, and Nandita Basu, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, looked at 10 mid-sized cities with summer watering bylaws and five cities that don’t impose any limits.

A professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering has won an award from an international organization dedicated to advancing knowledge of groundwater and professionals working in the field.

Neil Thomson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, was honoured with the 2020 Keith E Anderson Award for scientists and engineers who make outstanding contributions to the .

Ken O'Driscoll, a long-time chemical engineering professor and department chair, died earlier this month.

Born on Staten Island in New York, he received his bachelor’s in chemical engineering from Pratt Institute and his master’s and doctorate degrees from Princeton University.

A À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ electrical and computer engineering professor provides feedback on the federal government’s COVID-19 app in a question-and-answer article released today.

Mark Crowley says the new technology uses Bluetooth connections and random codes generated and stored by an individual’s phone to track connections with other nearby phones that also have the app installed.

Four teams founded or co-founded by À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering students successfully pitched their business ideas to founders of local startups in two competitions held remotely this week.

Two received $5K in the Concept challenge, similar in format to Velocity’s virtual Fund Pitch Competition.
