The University of Waterloo will break ground on Engineering 7 this week, an $88-million building that will feature advanced research labs.
Part of the funding for Engineering 7 will come from the Educating the Engineer of the Future campaign, a fundraising effort that will help the faculty of engineering continue to prepare students to tackle the difficult problems facing our world.
GM Canada announced today 1-million-dollars in funding to support the Educating the Engineer of the Future campaign.
GM’s support will fund a Research Chair while also sponsoring Waterloo Engineering’s Capstone Design projects involving software development.
UW says Engineering 7 will have some of the best research facilities in the world, including a 3D printing lab, and the Robohub, a leading-edge robotics testing facility.
