UWindsor entrepreneurs join inaugural Innovation Fellowship cohort
Ten University of Windsor researchers are turning their work into ventures as members of the inaugural Innovation Fellowship cohort.
The fellows aim to bring research-based business ideas to market, from a cybersecurity training program to a low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.
Dean’s leadership earns renewed term in Faculty of Engineering
By Lindsay Charlton
Walking through the atrium of the Centre for Engineering Innovation this past year, passersby may have noticed posters reading “Go Bill Go!” and “Two-Term Dean” in support of Bill Van Heyst, dean of the Faculty of Engineering, ahead of his renewal process.
The University of Windsor has since confirmed that Van Heyst will continue to lead the faculty through a second term, effective Sept. 1.
UWindsor professor recognized for decades of IEEE leadership and service
By Lindsay Charlton
Technology that improves lives depends not only on innovation, but on the people who mentor future engineers, build professional networks and help connect research to real-world needs.
That commitment to advancing technology for the public good has earned University of Windsor engineering professor Mohammed Khalid the 2026 M.B. Broughton Central Canada Merit Award from IEEE Canada, the Canadian arm of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
‘I just started running alongside it’: University of Windsor engineering team’s aircraft takes flight for the first time at national competition
By Lindsay Charlton
After spending 20 hours on the road to Fort Worth, Texas, the Lancer Aero Design team watched months of hard work take flight as the aircraft they built soared into the sky for the first time.
“It was amazing,” said Tony Woo, team president. “When we saw it take off, there’s this rule that you’re not allowed to run on the runway, but I was so excited I just started running alongside it. You could visibly see my excitement.”
UWindsor student-led conference highlights networking, mentorship in STEM
By Lindsay Charlton
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).
Prepare to be bowled over: Campus cricket pitch to open this summer
By Kate Hargreaves
Cricket may be the second most popular sport globally — after soccer — but until this summer, UWindsor cricket players had few options on campus to set up their wickets.
All that will change this summer as the Graduate Student Society (GSS), with support from the Faculty of Human Kinetics, the Faculty of Engineering and the Odette School of Business, opens a newly renovated cricket pitch on campus.
New course helps professionals build skills in additive manufacturing
By Lindsay Charlton
As additive manufacturing becomes more common across industries ranging from healthcare to automotive, a new course is helping professionals better understand the rapidly evolving technology.
Engineering students smash fundraising goal with $10,000 United Way donation
By Lindsay Charlton
University of Windsor students turned pre-exam stress into something productive, taking swings at a car for charity and helping drive a $10,000 donation to United Way Windsor-Essex.
Thuds, whacks and music filled the main atrium of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation (CEI) as people lined up to donate, select their tool of choice and cause some damage.
UWindsor research powers the next wave of motion‑sensing technology
By Lindsay Charlton
Every time a car deploys an airbag, a smartphone tilts its screen or a satellite adjusts its position in space, tiny motion sensors are at work — quietly measuring movement with remarkable precision.
At the University of Windsor, researchers are working to push that technology further, developing next-generation sensors that are smaller, more accurate and better suited for large-scale manufacturing.
UWindsor student launches Hult Prize campus program; team places eighth nationally in first year
By Lindsay Charlton
If you had $1 million to solve a problem, what would you choose? And how?
When Master of Engineering student Godswisdom Ogbonna came to the University of Windsor, he set up a booth in the CAW Student Centre asking students that very question.
An international student from Nigeria, Ogbonna said when he first came to the city, he was caught in a cycle — class, study, sleep, repeat.
“In my second semester, I told myself I was going to attend more events and meet more people,” he said.
