Put your thinking caps on and join us for a night of fun and friendly competition to claim the title of 2022 Skule Trivia Champs! Join your department in an exclusive breakout room to socialize and strategize. Who will claim the ultimate bragging rights as the smartest department in Skule?!?
Let's get loud! We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the engineers! Join fellow Skulemates and get in the spirit as we celebrate Alumni Reunion. This fun-filled reception will include special guest appearances from the LGMB, Cannon and many more! Cost: $25 per person (Includes 1 drink ticket, food, and Skule fun!) NOTE: This […]
Two areas of automated mobility are raising ethical questions that require our careful attention. First, today's vehicles are increasingly equipped with advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), such as lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. ADAS partially automate safety critical driving tasks but require a particular kind of driver monitoring for their safe operation, thus […]
This event has passed. Thanks to advances in technology and medical research, micro-scale mobile robots now have the ability for 3D motion through the human body. Join us on October 12 as Professor Eric Diller discusses and demonstrates how his tiny machines are controlled remotely using magnetic fields to help with neurosurgery and diagnosis in […]
This event has passed. Uncertain systems that evolve over time (called stochastic dynamical systems) are all around us. From a patient fighting cancer to the combined sewer system in the city of Toronto, these uncertain systems exist everywhere. Join us this November 9th as Professor Margaret Chapman discusses how theory and engineering together can confront […]
This event has passed. Join us on Wednesday, November 30 for a special edition of Disruptors & Dilemmas, featuring alumni from U of T Engineering, Arts & Science, the Rotman School, Law and the University of Toronto Scarborough. Although the entrepreneurial landscape is forever in a state of change, the events of the past few years have shifted attitudes […]
This event has passed. There is a significant global push towards recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) to enable the circular economy. Conventional recycling processes rely on pyrometallurgy or hydrometallurgy. These techniques not only are reagent intensive and often require large consumption of strong acids and organic solvents, but they also produce secondary streams […]
This event has passed. Imagine walking onto a construction site to find robotics carrying out repetitive and laborious tasks while workers focused on supervising robotic systems and troubleshooting uncertainties, expending far less physical exertion. With greater development in robotics and automation, the construction industry is gradually gearing up to embrace a range of robotic solutions […]
This event has passed. As a practical field, engineering has often preferred a utilitarian approach to ethics. However, in a world of automation and artificial intelligence, such an approach may be unequal to the task. To overcome this, we need to reframe our thinking through an ethical lens. Doing so entails building a robust and […]
This event has passed. Despite ongoing advances in the healthcare industry, disparities in health outcomes continue to pose increasingly complex moral and ethical dilemmas.How can we leverage our knowledge of human factors and health disparities to improve the delivery of care? On March 8, International Women's Day, join us as we explore Professor Alfred's innovative […]
