Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering have uncovered a problem that could skew the results everywhere groundwater levels are monitored and used to set government policies.

Their study revealed that a discrepancy between scientific data and anecdotal reports on groundwater levels in southern India was caused by a statistical phenomenon known as ‘survival bias.’

Engineering researchers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ have unearthed inherent gender and age biases buried in a popular image dataset used to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems around the world.

The discovery will help researchers find ways to rebalance the data so it better reflects demographic diversity, ultimately paving the way for more accurate AI models.

A startup company with roots at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering made a pitch to investors in California this week as a participant in the accelerator program.

, which is based in the Velocity Garage in downtown Kitchener, is one of almost 200 startups in the three-month summer cohort of the high-profile Bay Area program. Participants typically receive $150,000 in seed funding.

Two incoming mechatronics engineering students will start their academic careers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ this fall with $100,000 each in support from the program.

Evangeline Dryburgh, 17, of Mamora, Ont., and Shahed Saleh, 18, of Windsor, distinguished themselves in a field of more than 1,400 nominees for just 50 of the prestigious scholarships across the country.

A unique analysis by engineering and mathematics researchers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ showed that speeding is the riskiest kind of aggressive driving.

Data for the study – the first of its kind - was provided by insurance companies with clients in Ontario and Texas whose vehicles had been fitted with on-board devices. It covered 28 million trips.
