In a dazzling display of innovation at this year's Norman Esch Entrepreneurship Awards for Capstone Design, senior engineering teams from the Faculty of Engineering brought forth groundbreaking projects to compete for substantial funding to fuel their entrepreneurial dreams. Out of the ten formidable teams, two remarkable groups from the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (MME) stream notably clinched victory.

Six À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering undergraduate students placed among the top threeÌýatÌýthis year’sÌýÌý(CEC), held last month in Engineering 7 at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

Teams won first place in the Innovative Design category and third in the Re-Engineering challenge.

First place in the Innovative Design category was awarded to fourth-year mechanical engineering students Ben Beazley, Collin Bolt, Jake Chateauneuf and Alexsa Laddaran.

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s all-weather, self-driving bus, the WATonoBus, has hit the road with official go-ahead from Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation.

Students, staff, faculty and visitors can enjoy the ride with a complimentary WATonobus shuttle service operating every Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Painting, poetry, science, curiosity, patience – it all came together in a striking photograph that has earned a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering researcher national recognition.

Two professors at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering were announced this week as new Canada Research Chairs. From MME, Dr. Carolyn Ren was named a tier one chair, which is supported through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

Shehryar Khan, a researcher and doctoral candidate at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering, will help teach an innovative, multidisciplinary course on climate change.

Three graduates of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering have been named to a high-profile list of the 100 most powerful women in Canada.

Malgosia Green, Stephanie ThompsonÌýand Laura Kennedy are among 11Ìýleaders in education, business and the community who made the grade and have campus-wide ties to the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

Congratulations Dr. Norman Zhou, winner of aÌýprestigious Synergy Award for Innovation from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), a prize that comes with a $200,000 research grant.Ìý
