SE2024 student Ryan Dancy will Ìýat the in Texas next month, based on his Ìý´Ú°ù´Ç³¾Ìý Spacecraft Design and System Engineering, taken while on exchange at in Switzerland. This project applies the decision-oriented approach to systems architecture to design a mission conceptÌýfor an explorer probe to Europa.
Europa is a moon of Jupiter that was discovered by Galileo in 1610, and is known to have water and ice. NASA has existing plans to send a probe to Europa, and this project considered a different point in the design space.Ìý
Ryan has also had three co-op internships in the aerospace field. In summer 2022 he worked on AR/VR applications for lunar rovers at the European Space Agency's European Space Operations Centre () in Darmstadt, Germany. He is currently on his second co-op internship at in Ottawa, which is on track to be the first company to ever demonstrate deep learning on the .

Congratulations!
, including SE's own Kyle Anderson, won 4th place in the virtual race #3, also capturing the Rising Star Award. The IAC brings together 18 university teams from 11 countries on 4 continents in the world’s first head-to-head, high-speed autonomous race at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS).

SE2020 students Jasper Chapman-Black, Céline O'Neil and Sean PurcellÌýwon first-place in the Programming Challenge. The team developed an algorithm to simulate a drone reconstructing a broken 3D model, determined how to move the pieces back into place and created a visualization for it.
SE2020 students Jasper Chapman-Black, Céline O'Neil and Sean Purcell won first place in the (OEC) Programming Competition.ÌýThe team developed a system to control an hour-by-hour simulation of power generation in Ontario. “We combined a control system and a linear programming solver to pick the optimal combination of power sources to use, minimizing cost and CO2 emissions," says Purcell.
This weekend in Toronto, a group of Software Engineering students will be running , a new hackathon about privacy and socially beneficial technology. The event encourages youth to tackle the challenge of privacy in technology and begin to develop a design orientation that considers technology’s broader social impacts.
