Engineering students may know what they want to study, but not always where that path could lead.

Sometimes, all it takes is a single conversation to uncover a new opportunity.

Designed to foster those connections, NEX-GEN 2026 will bring together students, alumni, industry professionals and community members for a two-day conference beginning Friday, May 22, hosted by the University of Windsor chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).

A UWindsor professor’s work on an insulated pavement design, aimed at reducing potholes and road deterioration generally by tackling the effects of freeze-thaw cycles, has earned national recognition.

Abimbola Grace Oyeyi, an assistant professor in the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, along with her research team, was recognized at the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering Conference (CSCE) with the Stephen G. Revay Award for their paper exploring the use of lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) in pavement design.
