UWindsorENG student to help form startup using NASA technology

Nov 23rd, 2016

A team including a University of Windsor engineering student used NASA technology designed for Mars to become the only Canadian-based team to win part of the U.S. Space Race startup challenge.

Abhishek Chakrala, a 22-year-old electrical engineering masters student, was part of a seven-member team that won a $2,500 prize in one category by using a NASA invention to track weather. The team was named a finalist in another category where it pitched an idea to make electricity using a kite in remote locations.

Sergio Marchionne’s UWindsor visit leaves impression on engineering students

Nov 21st, 2016

When you meet with an executive at the helm of one the largest automakers in the world, you expect him to mainly talk shop.

At least that’s what a group of automotive engineering students expected when they had a chance to spend time with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne on Nov. 17 at the University of Windsor. Instead, Dr. Marchionne fondly recalled his days as a UWindsor business student and told the eager graduate students in the Windsor-Torino-FCA exchange program to slow down and enjoy this “intellectually stimulating” part of their lives.

Peter Frise recognized for excellence in student mentoring

Nov 18th, 2016

Mechanical and automotive engineering professor Peter Frise has received the UWindsor Alumni Excellence in Mentoring Award for his contributions to the development — personal, academic and professional — of students before and after their graduation.

“Mentoring must be continual chain of effort that extends throughout the relationships in one’s life,” says Dr. Frise. “This means that all senior people, in any organization, should reach out and play a role in helping junior people to succeed in their own careers. This is doubly true in a university such as ours — and that is why this award means so much to me.”

UWindsor research leads to revolutionary construction material

Nov 16th, 2016

It could be another five years or more before University of Windsor engineering professor Sreekanta Das can start handing out the grades for his students’ latest school project.

“Five years for sure,” Das said of the time needed to definitively prove whether a revolutionary construction material can provide a cheaper and greener solution to future concrete and steel rehabilitation projects.

UWindsor student sole Canadian finalist in international engineering competition

Oct 28th, 2016

A University of Windsor engineering student represented Canada on an international stage with a micromixer that can help researchers detect diseases and pathogens, identify pollutants or test material properties on a microscale quicker than ever.

Engineering dean extends condolences to family and friends of fire victim

Oct 27th, 2016

The engineering faculty is deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Andrew Kraayenbrink, a second-year, mechanical engineering student who lost his life in a house fire on Rankin Avenue. I wish to convey our deepest condolences to Andrew's family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time.
