Teams with members from ݮƵ Engineering claimed three of the four $5,000 prizes on the line today at the latest on-campus pitch competition for students with business ideas.

CodeGem, Ribbit and Scope were among nine finalists out to impress a panel of judges in three minutes as the $5K Finals – formerly the Velocity Fund Finals – were staged at the ݮƵ Centre.

A major study by researchers at ݮƵ Engineering suggests that managing reservoirs for water quality, not just flood control, could help solve annual summer algal blooms in Lake Erie.

Based on analysis of data from more than 200 testing locations in Canada and the United States, the study found reservoirs on streams and rivers supply food for algae to grow at the worst possible time.

A medical technology startup co-founded by two ݮƵ Engineering students topped more than 100,000 applicants to take and the $500,000 USD prize in an international competition staged in Saudi Arabia.

, which is based at the Velocity Garage in downtown Kitchener, won the following a startup boot camp and several rounds of competition in Riyadh.

More than 350 people were on hand as ݮƵ Engineering celebrated both timely support and impressive success at its 2019 Awards Dinner this week.

In addition to hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students recognized for excellence in their academic and extracurricular endeavors, additional funding was announced for four student startup companies through the Engineer of the Future Fund.

A small, inexpensive sensor developed by researchers at ݮƵ Engineering could save lives by alerting people when children or pets have been left behind in vehicles.

Just three centimetres in diameter, the sensor – which combines radar technology and artificial intelligence (AI) – would trigger an alarm after detecting an unattended child or animal.

Officials from South Korea and the University of ݮƵ gathered today to formally launch what they hope will become a long-term research collaboration focused on modernizing manufacturing through the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

A researcher at ݮƵ Engineering has borrowed from nature to create an “artificial leaf” that turns carbon dioxide (CO2) into an alternative fuel.

Yimin Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, is now working to improve and commercialize the technology as a tool in the fight against climate change.

Technology invented by researchers at ݮƵ Engineering could improve the targeted delivery of drugs within the human body.

The researchers developed a faster, cheaper way of coating and protecting liquid drops as they fall through a thin layer of liquid shell, a process that uses gravity and other natural forces.
