Initially unsure if she was suited to academics, a new doctoral graduate at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering will officially prove herself wrong when she collects her PhD at fall convocation ceremonies on Saturday.

Dr. Jacqueline Noder, who previously earned her master’s degree at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, learned to appreciate technologists and other supporters in the machine shop while working towards a doctorate in mechanical and mechatronics engineering.

Two new Waterlo Engineering students began their academic careers this fall backed by prestigious national scholarships worth up to $100,000 over four years.

Nain Abdi of electrical engineering and Hilus Keay of computer engineering chose to come to À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ after being named 2022 Loran Scholars from a pool of almost 5,200 applicants across Canada.

Four À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering students have been awarded $5,000 scholarships created to reward high-achieving Muslim students for outstanding contributions to their communities.

Youssra Rahham of chemical engineering, Azwad Abid of systems design engineering, Rodaina Aboelela of architectural engineering and Subha Azrin of computer engineering are among 74 MAX Scholarships award winners across Canada.

New technology developed at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering could make a significant difference in the fight against climate change by affordably converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and other valuable chemicals on an industrial scale.

Outlined in a  published today in the journal Nature Energy, the system yields 10 times more carbon monoxide (CO) – which can be used to make ethanol, methane and other desirable substances – than existing, small-scale technologies now limited to testing in laboratories.

One of the largest labour automation technology providers in the American hospitality industry, the brainchild of a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumnus, is now a publicly traded company with an initial public offering of US $120 million.

a restaurant technology company that provides automation solutions for large enterprise customers, was founded in 2008 by Rajat Suri (BASc ’07, chemical engineering) to address growing labor shortages in the hospitality industry.

A prototype of a tiny home that was designed and built by students at the School of Architecture at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ is now on display in the civic square at Cambridge City Hall.

Researchers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ have partnered with the city to explore the possibility of tiny homes being used for people experiencing homelessness in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Region. The prototype will remain on display until mid-November.

Dr. Scott Walbridge, a civil and environmental engineering professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering, has received a top award for a research proposal and its potential to transform the civil infrastructure industry.

Presented jointly to Walbridge and Conestoga College professors Jim Galloway and Dr. Tam Nguyen, the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction’s (CISC) H.A. Krentz Research Award recognizes researchers with the year’s best research proposal. Walbridge is the first À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ professor to ever receive this award.

On behalf of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Faculty of Engineering, I wish to express my sincere concern about the violence unfolding in Iran in response to the shocking death of Mahsa Amini.

In moments like these, it is critical to reaffirm À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering’s unwavering commitment to upholding human rights. We add our voice alongside those in the growing global community who condemn the repression of women and the reprehensible inequalities women continue to face around the world.

In 1957, Cam Wood was eager to leave his hometown of Beeton, Ontario to work and further his education at the same time.
