Canada's Largest Engineering School

The University of Waterloo’s Pearl Sullivan Engineering IDEAs Clinic ran the inaugural Brookfield Renewable Innovation Challenge, tasking students with designing solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen climate resilience across campus.

The three-day event marked the launch of a new partnership between the Faculty of Engineering and Brookfield Renewable, a core business of Brookfield Corporation and one of the world's largest owners, operators and developers of renewable power.

Researchers from the faculties of engineering and mathematics at the University of Waterloo are working on a joint project that could lead to a new cancer treatment involving the use of engineered bacteria to essentially eat tumours from the inside out.

Dr. Marc Aucoin, a professor of chemical engineering, and Dr. Brian Ingalls, a professor of applied mathematics, outlined their research and the history behind their promising approach in an article recently published by the website The Conversation Canada.

A University of Waterloo adjunct professor and staff member has been recognized on a national list celebrating some of the country's top rising engineering talent.

Dr. Brandon DeHart, manager of Waterloo's RoboHub, was among a group of rising Canadian engineers profiled in Design Engineering magazine's June 2026 feature, "Geared for Success," which highlights engineering professionals up to age 40 who are making their mark in the field.
