Outreach

A day of building windmills out of Lego blocks and bridges out of wooden craft sticks helped give a group of grade 11 students from Vincent Massey Secondary School a feel for the engineering profession, said their teachers.

Participating in the Outstanding Scholars program has been a highlight of his time at the University of Windsor, says Jason Duic.

Proper urban planning can save money while saving the earth’s scarce resources, says Rafal Marynowski. A master’s student of civil engineering, he looked at ways that Windsor can save on expensive upgrades to its stormwater sewers in a project for professor Tirupati Bolisetti’s course on water resources management.

ming to Windsor might have been the best move ever for a young Chinese engineering graduate student who’s trying to improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles.

“It’s been really good for me,” said Xiaomin Lu, a PhD student who will soon return to Windsor after a productive six-week trip to India to conduct more research. “If I had stayed in China, I never would have had the opportunity to experience so much.”

The Centre for Engineering Innovation will house the University of Windsor's Faculty of Engineering, with an impact that will reverberate off campus.

The 300,000-sq. ft. facility, slated for the southwest corner of Wyandotte Street and California Avenue at a cost estimated at $112 million, will focus on research and development and will include an Industrial Courtyard that will team the University, business and other partners in an environment to facilitate a direct connection between education, research, and industrial innovation.
