Two fourth-year students at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering are finalists for a national award for social entrepreneurs.

Peter Cornelisse and Lucas Godkin, who are both studying mechanical engineering, are among four entries still in the running for the $25,000 NU National Student Award for Outstanding Social Entrepreneurship.

Created to celebrate students making a commitment to social enterprise as well as their academic studies, the award will be handed out Nov. 18 at the virtual Pivot on Purpose Summit.

An autonomous trucking company that was founded by two À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering students just five years ago has gone public with a valuation of approximately US $5 billion.

In a deal that closed today, Embark Trucking merged with Northern Genesis 2, a special purpose acquistion company, to become Embark Technology Inc. with headquarters in San Francisco.

The merger means founders Alex Rodrigues and Brandon Moak, both 26, hold shares worth hundreds of millions of dollars each.

A company that was founded by two alumni who met during their first year at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering has developed the first autonomous robot to perform intramuscular injections.

Tim Lasswell (BASc ’14, mechanical engineering, MASc ’17, biomedical engineering) and Nima Zamani (BASc ’14, mechanical engineering, MASc ’17, mechatronics engineering) launched in 2019 and operate out of Velocity, the flagship startup incubator at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

As a child, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumnus Youssef Helwa (BASc ’15, nanotechnology engineering, MASc ’17, electrical engineering) was mesmerized by his mother’s stories about the patients she cared for as a surgeon.

Two former À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering students who launched a self-driving trucking company that is now poised to go public with an estimated valuation of more than US $5 billion have been honoured by a national business group in the United States.

Months of hard work ended with a disappointing crash for a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumnus and an engineering master's student during a historic autonomous vehicle race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) on Saturday afternoon.

A million-dollar, self-driving racecar developed by Brian Mao and Ben Zhang with teammates from three U.S. universities hadn’t completed its warmup lap when a GPS failure led to an unscheduled left turn into an infield wall at the famed home of the Indianapolis 500.

A financial technology company that was co-founded by a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumnus completed an initial public offering (IPO) this week that valued it at $326 million.

, which was launched by Noah Buchman and three others in 2011, raised $61 million and is now listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Impressive problem-solving skills Khaled Younes honed as an engineering student contributed to his exceptional showing in the classroom and research breakthroughs.

Officially graduating with a master’s in mechanical and mechatronics engineering on October 25, Younes is passionate about tackling and finding answers to difficult challenges in fluid mechanics.
