Join us this month as Prof. David Taylor discusses how engineering is solving the constant challenge of accessible, clean water to emerging markets. Servicing emerging markets requires products tailored to the challenges of their chaotic water systems, which are characterized by: frequently empty pipes, low pressure, high rates of contamination, high losses, and missing network […]
Join us this month as Prof. Milica Radisic discusses tissue engineering, a branch of engineering science that focuses on developing living tissue matrices in the laboratory. With the ultimate goal of using these tissues for drug testing and to repair injured tissues and organs, Dr. Radisic will review recent progress in developing living tissue supplements […]
Join us this month as Professor Erin Bobicki discusses new innovations in sustainability. The depletion of high-grade ores, rising production costs, climate change, the increasing scarcity of fresh water, and the need for a social license to operate all necessitate the development of efficient and sustainable mineral processing technologies. The application of microwaves in mineral […]
Join us this month as Professor Alex Mihailidis discusses technology and aging. There has been significant research completed on the development of technologies to support the wellness of older adults. However, the majority of these devices have not made it to market and suffer from various limitations that make them inappropriate for an older adult […]
Join us for lunch to celebrate four exceptional U of T Engineering students as they receive prestigious awards generously provided by the classes of 3T5, 5T0, 5T3 and 5T6. The Class of 3T5 has been awarding outstanding students with the Second Mile Award since 1945. The award is presented to a student in final year […]

The oft-heard expression "the robots are coming" is certainly true. But when? Is the recent media frenzy over drones and self-driving cars just hype? Or […]
***This event is now sold-out*** To be added to the waiting list for this event, please contact the alumni office at engineering.advancement@ecf.utoronto.ca Join us this month as Professor David Sinton (MechE 9T8, MechE PhD 0T3) discusses revolutionary methods in carbon management. With global CO2 emissions over 30 billion tons per year, managing carbon is a defining challenge of our […]
Join us this month as Prof. Piero Triverio discusses about his mathematical models to understand and design complex electrical systems. The methods developed by his group have been applied to integrated circuits, meta surface antennas and power cables. In the final part of the talk, […]
Join us this month as Mehran Hydary (ElecE 1T4+PEY) discusses popular use cases that Deloitte is working on with blockchain. Presenting an intuitive primer on what blockchain is, Mehran will share how Deloitte is currently implementing it in Canada and across the world. Examples include streamlining the trade finance process, and digitizing health records. Mehran […]
