Any student who has taken a class with Carol knows that she cultivates a joyful learning environment.Ìý

Thank you, Carol, for inspiring our students! The Centre for Teaching Excellence has the full story.

Congratulations to two of our professors in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, who have been awarded $25,000 each to develop health-tech solutions by the Graham Seed Fund to expedite innovation to Cambridge Memorial Hospital and the KW 4 Ontario Health Team (KW4OHT).    

We're pleased to announce that one of our very own PhD candidates, Shadab Sarmast has been awarded the prestigious CWB Welding Foundation Graduate Scholarship for Women. This scholarship is awarded to women who have demonstrated interest and research in pursuing a career in materials joining and the applied technology services industry. She is supervised by Dr. Norman Zhou and Dr. Michael Benoit in ³Ù³ó±ðÌýCentre for Advanced Materials Joining (CAMJ). We caught up with Shadab to learn more about her journey, research interests, and what this award means to her.

Teams from Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering had great success at this year's 2024 Norman Esch Competition for Entrepreneurship Award for Capstone Design, presented by ³Ù³ó±ðÌýConrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business. Twelve of this year's Capstone Design teams pitched their innovative ideas to a team of industry leaders for their share of investment funding.Ìý  

After much deliberation and encouragement from the audience, keep reading to find out how MME teams fared in the pitch competition.Ìý

On March 20th and 25th, MME's 4th-year Capstone Design Symposium events were held in-person and showcased our latest and greatest in terms of talent and innovation. This year, there were over 100+ senior teams showcasing their projects and competing for a selection of awards from best product design, web design, prototype, innovation, presentation quality, among others.
