Robert Chlumsky, Dr. James Craig and Dr. Bryan Tolson have launched a startup called Blackbird that received a $15,000 funding boost through a Velocity and À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Commercialization Office (WatCo) program for student researchers, founders and recent graduates who are transforming their research into commercial ventures.
Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering have developed a relatively simple, inexpensive system to produce algae as a source of protein in space as part of a contest launched by the Canadian Space Agency.
Chemical engineering professors Dr. Valerie Ward and Dr. Nasser Abukhdeir are semi-finalists in the Canadian edition of the , which has a $380,000 top prize, to find solutions to sustain astronauts on long missions.
A sophisticated pitching robot developed by two alumni of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering is generating plenty of interest in the world of professional baseball.
Joshua Pope and Rowan Ferrabee launched in 2019, the same year they graduated with degrees in biomedical engineering and mechatronics engineering, respectively.
Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering followed their curiosity and called on nature for inspiration for a new urinal design that has attracted internatinal attention by solving the messy problem of splash-back.
The long, sleek design all but eliminates splatter on floors and shoes by ensuring the angle at which a urine stream hits the urinal wall doesn’t exceed about 30 degrees, a measurement determined via physical experiments and computer modelling.
At least four À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumni have made the impressive lists for 2023.

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumni  (BASc ’92, chemical engineering) and  (BASc ’13, chemical engineering), and fourth-year chemical engineering student , reflect on what the attack continues to mean for them as women in engineering.
Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering are using a natural material derived from seaweed to promote vascular cell growth, prevent blood clots and improve the performance of synthetic vascular grafts used in heart bypass surgery.
The new approach is especially important in cases involving small artificial blood vessels - those less than six millimetres in diameter - which are prone to clots that can develop into full blockages.
