A new partnership between the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ and Rogers Communications will focus on 5G research in the areas of engineering, network design, applied mathematics and artificial intelligence.

Announced today, the three-year, multimillion dollar partnership on the cutting-edge wireless technology will also involve building a 5G network on campus to test network infrastructure, frequencies and applications.

At least three À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering alumni have made prestigious lists announced by Forbes magazine for 2020.

Chong Shen, 29, Khanjan Desai, 29, and Ryan Gibson, 26, are among 600 up-and-coming entrepreneurs in Canada and the United States cited for their accomplishments in 20 categories.

Ryan Gibson is a co-founder and CTO  of startup company Agora.

ECE researcher named an IEEE fellow

Fakhri Karray, a À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµÂ electrical and computer engineering professor, has been honoured as a 2020 fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers () in recognition of his "contributions to intelligent systems."

Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering have developed a new screening tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help fact-checkers identify false information online.

The system sets a new benchmark for accuracy in stance detection, a key area in efforts by scientists and engineers around the world to create fully automatic technology capable of detecting fake news.

Susan Tighe, a civil and environmental engineering professor, has been named a member of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) for her "exceptional contributions to engineering in Canada."

She will be formally inducted as an EIC member in April 2020 at the institute’s annual awards gala.

The hands of 160 students in a first-year À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ chemical engineering class have likely never been cleaner as they worked on a new course project.

This fall’s Chemical Engineering Design Studio 1 (ChE180) course included designing, formulating and producing handcrafted soaps.

To help shape the future of engineering, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) is launching a unique hands-on engineering innovation challenge designed for University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€™s engineering students.

The Toyota Engineering Innovation Challenge was part of TMMC’s funding announcement of $2.1 million to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering -- the largest single financial donation ever made to a Canadian university.

Fourteen female À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering students lit white candles and stood shoulder to shoulder today in honour of the 14 young women who were murdered because of their gender at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal three decades ago.

The solemn, poignant ceremony in Engineering 7 on the  was held to both remember the massacre and remind people that, despite progress, necessary work continues on the underlying issues.

A young woman from India is now studying at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering with $100,000 in backing from a national scholarship program.

Chidi Umenwofor-Nweze, one of 35 prestigious for 2019, started the systems design engineering program with experience including a summer stint working for the territorial government in Nunavut.
