The Lassonde School of Engineering is preparing tomorrow’s entrepreneurial and socially conscious professionals to transform the way we think, communicate and live our lives.
Discover how today’s rockstar scientists and engineers are making our world a better place.
In less than 10 years social networking has transformed the way we think, act and communicate. Updates, tweets and pins do more than keep us connected and entertained. For some they’re creating a digital memory.
Handheld devices are giving us access to information in ways we could never have imagined in the past. They give us the power to share ideas, research issues and communicate instantly to create a world where humans interact more, not less.
Using a combination of sensors, satellites, and software, self-driving cars promise to make driving safer, cleaner and perhaps more fun.
Engineers are researching cleaner, safer Generation IV nuclear technology, that could be combined with renewable energy to power a zero carbon future.
By 2017 we will have eight times as much data as we have now. New cognitive systems are being developed to create artificial intelligence that could one day solve problems that are beyond the ability of the human brain.
Researchers are developing 3D printing technology to print human organs using stem cells. These printers could potentially create identical replacement organs such as hearts, lungs and livers for use in transplant surgery.
Engineers designed and constructed the 27km long particle accelerator for the Large Hadron Collider that has given physicists the chance to begin unlocking the mysteries of the universe.
The Mars Rover ‘Curiosity’ touched down on Mars in 2012 with a mission to gather data for a future manned mission to the Red Planet, and beam back stunning pictures of the Martian landscape.
