More than 300 University of Windsor students will display the latest engineering innovations Friday.
Second-year civil engineering student Jason Duic describes the use of fibre reinforced polymer composites to strengthen concrete to alumni David Strelchuk, Philip Waier, and Henry Regts during a tour of the structures lab, Wednesday in the Centre for Engineering Innovation.
Members of the civil engineering Class of 1967 have endowed a scholarship fund to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their graduation.
Lancer Engineering campers put the finishing touches on their apparatus that will carry their egg from the third floor of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation to the ground.
Sydney Ryan may have had a slight advantage over her fellow campers.
The 12-year-old has a knack for engineering and builds race car tracks for her brothers and boats at home using found materials.
So, it’s no surprise that when tasked with the challenge to bring an egg safely to the ground from three storeys up, Ryan had a plan.
“We are trying to make a bird’s nest and have a base with a spongey-kind of foam material, a layer of paper and then a web of tight string that goes on either side of the egg,” Ryan said, who will be going into Grade 8 in the fall.

Positioned in the middle of Narayan Kar’s lab sits an electric motor from the Ford Motor Company: a machine that had been scrutinized by researchers and engineers for countless hours.
Yet, the University of Windsor engineering professor has set out to take that motor and make it even better.
“Our work will never end and this will always be an open-ended problem,” said Dr. Kar. “There will always be an opportunity to make them lighter, compact and more efficient.”

Several engineering faculty and staff members were honoured for their commitment to innovation, teaching and service at a ceremony on June 13.
The University of Windsor will host a symposium this week exploring the technological, political, and financial aspects of the sustainable production and use of energy this week.
The Energy and Natural Resources 2017 conference, June 22 and 23 in the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation, will focus on the interconnectivity between energy and the environment, with discussion of:
Up to 80 experts in fluid dynamics from across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Iran will meet in Windsor to discuss the latest in research and advancements for the 25th Annual Conference of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Society of Canada. UWindsor plays host to the conference June 18 to 20.
“The applications of fluid dynamics are endless because you are talking about fluid flow in and around any space or object,” says Ronald Barron, mathematics professor and chair of the conference organizing committee.
