Two incoming mechatronics engineering students will start their academic careers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ 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®ÊÓƵ 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.

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumnus Michael Litt was recently selected as one of business leaders for 2019, an honour based on contributions to both their industries and their communities.

Litt, who earned a systems design engineering degree in 2011, is a co-founder and CEO of , a Kitchener-based company with an analytics platform that helps businesses develop effective video strategies.

Humanoid robots in an Engineering 7 maze and a self-driving car being developed by a University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ student design team were featured last night in an episode of .

Filmed on campus in early May, the events showcased the state-of-the-art RoboHub and work by , and were broadcast in an episode that also included several other locations in Kitchener and À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

A professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering has teamed up with computer science colleagues and an industry partner in research on the integration of blockchain technology into energy systems.

Lukasz Golab, a professor of management sciences, collaborated on a study that could lead to expanded infrastructure for electric vehicles by introducing an open blockchain platform to boost trust in charging systems.

Fourteen researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering were awarded a total of more than $1.75 million this week through a federal program to give researchers the tools and equipment they need to become leaders in their fields.

Across all faculties at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, 23 researchers were awarded over $2.9 million through the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s John R. Evans Leaders Fund.

Olga Vechtomova, a professor of management sciences at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering, recently shared an international award recognizing work that has had long-lasting influence in the field of information retrieval research.

During a visit to À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Region on Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford came to campus to see Professor Michael Worswick’s À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Forming and Crash Lab and experience first-hand one of the largest academic laboratories for such research.

Worswick is co-Principal Investigator for the $35-million , a joint initiative involving the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, McMaster University and Western University.

was one of just four university teams from across the country selected to take part in  in collaboration with the National Research Council (NCR) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

Team members Riley Holierhoek, Aaron Morrison, Kyle Tam and Teresa Tang travelled to Ottawa last month to the competition run by

A class of systems design engineering students has proven that just about anyone can play a musical instrument, even individuals with complete hearing loss.

On Monday, students in Matt Borland’s SYDE 361 course gave an end-of-term concert demonstrating what they designed over the past three months for people with various disabilities.
