Bridge-building competition provides students with real-world experience

Third-year civil engineering students built bridges out of popsicle sticks and glue that were strong enough to stand up to extreme load testing at the fourth annual popsicle stick bridge building contest on Tuesday

Traffic data to predict border delays: remote sensors counting trucks and cars crossing the Ambassador Bridge will be used to develop models to warn drivers of delays an hour or more in advance.Traffic data to predict border delays: remote sensors counting trucks and cars crossing the Ambassador Bridge will be used to develop models to warn drivers of delays an hour or more in advance.

Cross-Border Institute traffic data will predict border delays

Cross-Border Institute researchers say traffic data collected by remote sensors at the Canada-US border at the Ambassador Bridge will help to predict border delays. 

The CFI funded scanner will be used in various areas of biological and molecular research at UWindsor, including Phil Karpowicz’ work on circadian rhythms and how they affect an animal’s ability to heal injured tissue.The CFI funded scanner will be used in various areas of biological and molecular research at UWindsor, including Phil Karpowicz’ work on circadian rhythms and how they affect an animal’s ability to heal injured tissue.

CFI funded scanner aids in study of circadian rhythm’s tie to healing

A CFI grant will help UWindsor purchase a sophisticated scanner that creates high resolution digital images of animal tissue, aiding in the study of how cells heal damaged tissue.
