Researchers led by engineers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ have answered key questions to help prevent damage and improve the safety of hydraulic systems used for pipelines, water turbines and other applications.

The work investigates a phenomenon known as cavitation, or the formation and collapse of destructive gas-filled bubbles resulting from rapid pressure changes in liquids.

Cavitation is behind a well-known party trick that involves shattering the bottom of a liquid-filled bottle by striking its open top with the palm of your hand.

After three years of hard work, members of the design team are hoping to do well next week in an international competition that challenges university students to design and build highly efficient buildings.

All six teams that earned $10,000 each at engineering's annual pitch contest developed creative solutions to challenges ranging from making rock climbing safer to providing spinal cord injury patients with increased mobility.

The winners of the Norman Esch Entrepreneurship Awards for Capstone Design contest were narrowed down from 10 teams of senior-year students who took three minutes each to explain their projects to a panel of judges in the remote competition live-streamed on YouTube.

A class of elementary students in the Ontario town of Haliburton are getting behind a À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering alumnus who went on to play in the Canadian Football League.

The students want to see Taly Williams (BASc ’94, civil engineering) recognized on the wall of a local arena along with other hometown athletes who made good.

A technology company founded by five À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering graduates has received $3.4 million in backing from the federal government to continue its growth.

, which provides software and support for supply chain management, was one of six Toronto-based tech firms announced today for a total of $14.6 million in repayable investments by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

Two architects who have compiled a long list of accomplishments since graduating from the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ added to it this week with a prestigious award from a national organization.

Brigitte Shim and A. Howard Sutcliffe, who met at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ and graduated together from the School of Architecture in 1983, were named the winners of the 2021 Gold Medal by the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (RAIC).

A management engineering student’s company has raised to help fuel its Ontario expansion.

Aaron Paul and À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ science alumnus Jaden Pereira co-founded to connect couriers to retail clients that range from meal kit providers, florists and pharmacies.

A startup company founded by a À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering alumnus is developing technology to manufacture red blood cells needed for everything from trauma response to cancer care.

Shane Kilpatrick (MASc ’17, MBET ’18) hit on the basic idea while working on unrelated research in an oil patch and came to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ to help learn how to bring it to life.

He is now CEO of , which is working to make enough blood to end reliance on donations for medical transfusions.
