In honour of International Women’s Day, we asked some of our soon-to-be alumnae why they chose to study engineering and their thoughts on the profession.

Last year, six Ontario universities, including the University of Ottawa, launched the Indigenous and Black Engineering and Technology (IBET) Momentum Fellowship, a project aimed at addressing the systemic barriers that exist in STEM fields for Indigenous and Black scholars and providing support and increased opportunities for those wanting to pursue doctoral degrees. Since then, IBET has expanded ...

In celebration of Black History Month, the Faculty of Engineering invited students from the new uOttawa chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) to reflect on their experiences in our Faculty and to share their thoughts on the broader engineering profession.

In recognition of Black History Month, we caught up with a few of our alumni who identify as Black and asked them to share some advice with current students.

The program will offer postdoctoral researchers and students international expertise and better career prospects

Experiential learning can take on many forms. Two years ago, Professor Andrew Sowinski started working with fourth year engineering students on preliminary designs for a microbrewery and craft distillery on campus. Fast forward to today, the Craft Lab and its upcoming limited batch ale is a passion project for the professor and his students. Applying chemical engineering knowledge to the art of cr...

Can large-scale geoengineering be a solution to global warming? Can artificial intelligence (AI) control such technologies? What could be the impact on our society, on wealth and power, on communities?

Starting a business can be challenging, but a little support can go a long way.

More than 30,000 delegates from 120 countries are attending the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, with the ambitious objective of "Uniting the world to tackle climate change".

Sustainable and resilient infrastructure has been one of the Faculty of Engineering’s core areas of research for several years. Many of our researchers work in collaboration with industry and organizations to address the challenges posed by the climate crisis. As engineers, we have the safety of society at heart, and we know climate change is an issue we simply cannot ignore.
