Researchers at ݮƵ Engineering have developed a tiny, battery-free, self-powering sensor that could dramatically reduce the cost of protecting buildings from damaging water leaks.
The new device, housed in a box just three centimetres square, is the product of a collaboration between professors Norman Zhou and George Shaker.
More than 100 people turned out today for the official opening of a new $4-million automotive research facility at the University of ݮƵ.
Dignitaries kickstarted the event at the Autonomous Vehicle Research and Intelligence Laboratory (AVRIL) by arriving in automated electric car that is being developed by student design team WATonomous.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) developers now have a new winter-weather tool at their disposal thanks to engineering researchers.
Teams at ݮƵ Engineering and the University of Toronto collaborated on a free, open-source dataset to test and train AV perception algorithms in nasty conditions.
“We want to engage the research community to generate new ideas and enable innovations,” said Krzysztof Czarnecki, the engineering professor who leads the ݮƵ team.
Elizabeth English, a School of Architecture professor, shared her personal experiences while speaking at a recent TEDxManhattanBeach conference about how amphibious housing can save communities in flood zones.
ݮƵ Engineering undergraduate teams won four major awards in this year’s (OEC) in the Innovative Design, Programming and Re-engineering categories.
Hosted by the University of Guelph from January 17 to 19, OEC brought together engineering students from across the province to compete in eight unique challenges designed around the theme of Improve Life.
ݮƵ Engineering teams won first and second place in the Innovative Design category.
ݮƵ Engineering’s RoboHub is highlighted in an episode of the "The Age of A.I.", a 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 facility is profiled in Episode 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.
ݮƵ 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.
John Yeow, a ݮƵ systems design engineering professor, is the new for the IEEE Nanotechnology Technical Council (NTC).
It's with deep sadness, the University of ݮƵ confirms that two of its students are among the people who died in the crash of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752 in Iran last night.
Marzieh (Mari) Foroutan was a doctoral student in geography and Mansour Esnaashary Esfahani was a PhD student in civil engineering.
A personal connection inspired two ݮƵ Engineering graduates to develop technology that helps children with cerebral palsy and other medical conditions walk.
Manmeet Maggu (BASc ’13 – mechatronics engineering) and Rahul Udasi (BASc ’14 – mechatronics engineering) put their training to good use by founding Mississauga-based , which now has 11 of its exoskeletons in use by families and hospitals.
