A team of students from Electrical and Computer engineering have found a way to take the anxiety out of knowing when and where to charge your electric vehicle by using your smart phone.
“That anxiety is very real,” said Khaja Shazzad a PhD student in associate professor Kemal Tepe’s Wireless Communication and Information Processing Research Lab (WiCIP), located in the new Centre for Engineering Innovation.
When Aaron Blata graduates from engineering school he says he’d like to make a career of retrofitting old buildings.
“Either that or demolishing them,” said the Civil and Environmental engineering student.
His destructive streak might easily be explained by the fact that he spent about 100 hours this semester building a model of an ancient device used by medieval warriors to smash the walls of fortified cities during long sieges.
An innovative agreement between the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy marks a first in cross-border cooperation: the Detroit campus will host UWindsor’s Master of Social Work for Working Professionals program.

Looking out over the rows and rows of solar panels that line the roof of the Tecumseh Arena, Frank Iakovidis sees a lot of untapped potential.
While it’s true the more than 2,000 panels there provide almost 600 megawatt hours of electricity to the generating grid, the master’s student of engineering thinks there’s a whole lot more energy to be had, if he could only find a way to cool them down in the summer and prevent snow from building up on them during the winter.
