Are You Ready to Make an Impact?
Applying state-of-the-science engineering biotechnology, our students are using bioreactors to understand biofuel generation from renewables sources.
Our students are using computer graphics and computer vision to develop applications and tools for game designers.
Our students are developing a hexacopter, equipped with a robotic arm, that will be able to reach and access confined spaces in collapsed buildings. It can also assist in monitoring the health of trees in large forest areas by collecting tree top samples.
Using advanced 3D printing technologies, our students are designing and manufacturing orthotic splints to provide breathable, durable and custom-fitting support for active recovery.
Our students are developing a patient information management and referral solution for use with a portable medical device used by rural health care workers in Uganda and Sierra Leone for early detection and diagnosis of pregnancy complications.
Our Sierra Wireless Mobile Communications Lab is one of the most advanced labs in Canada driving innovation in signal analysis, including high-speed satellite pattern mapping.
Our students are combining control and artificial intelligence algorithms to develop robots with an ability to perceive its surroundings to interact with humans safely and naturally in multi-agent environments.
Our students are researching interfacial engineering methods to develop smart coatings and new materials, which can significantly enhance the performance and lifetime of sustainable energy systems.
Our students are using computer graphics and computer vision to develop applications and tools for game designers.
