However, Canada lags its global peers, as only 21 per cent of post-secondary graduates complete their studies with a degree in Science or Engineering. The average among the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations is one point higher at 22 per cent, while South Korea leads the world with 32 per cent.</p> Thu, 24 Jan 2019 18:32:36 +0000 Junji Nishihata 8055 at /engineering /engineering/article/news/landmark-gift-mcgills-faculty-engineering-deepens-support-doctoral-students-and-graduate-research <p>A landmark $15-million gift from ƻ����Ժ alumnus Les Vadasz, a founding member of Intel Corporation, and his wife Judy Vadasz, will enhance the prestigious doctoral fellowship program that bears their name in ƻ����Ժ’s Faculty of Engineering, deepening their support for outstanding PhD students who pursue innovative research at ƻ����Ժ.</p> <p>Their gift also aims to strengthen Montreal as an engineering and technology hub by attracting more top talent to ƻ����Ժ.</p> Wed, 16 Jan 2019 20:22:45 +0000 Cynthia Lee 8050 at /engineering /engineering/article/imitating-nature-build-more-sustainable-world <p>What could be greener than solar panels? They generate renewable energy, a key to fighting climate change. Yet the components that go into them often include toxic or non-sustainable materials.</p> <p>ƻ����Ժ scientist Noémie-Manuelle Dorval Courchesne hopes to change that. She’s investigating the conductive properties of certain naturally occurring proteins – a line of research that could someday lead to biological and biodegradable solar cells.</p> Wed, 28 Nov 2018 15:20:19 +0000 Justin Dupuis 7940 at /engineering /engineering/article/news/mcgill-and-ubisoft-join-forces-create-believable-virtual-characters <p>The often quoted idiom “seeing is believing” is put to the test in virtual gaming worlds, where despite recent advances, 3D graphics applications still fail to reflect the physics of motion, materials, texture, and light. As the new NSERC/Ubisoft Industrial Research Chair in Believable Virtual Character Experiences, ƻ����Ժ’s Associate Professor Derek Nowrouzezahrai has joined forces with Ubisoft, the company behind hit video games like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, to tap the potential of 3D rendering technology for improving the appearance of virtual characters.</p> Wed, 28 Nov 2018 15:16:49 +0000 Meaghan Thurston 7939 at /engineering /engineering/article/news/science-fair-fit-king-or-prime-minister <p>School science fairs, it must be admitted, are nothing new. Typically, a group of young students stand in front of posters or beakers, explaining their projects to nervous parents or equally nervous teachers. But a recent fair in Ottawa raised the game to another level altogether. Not only was the science above and beyond, the audience was also elevated. None other than Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among the visitors, as the fair was held on Parliament Hill.</p> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 19:02:06 +0000 Junji Nishihata 7926 at /engineering /engineering/article/mcgill-rocket-team-soars-first-place-spaceport-america-cup <p>In the dry desert of New Mexico, USA, the ƻ����Ժ Rocket Team – a team that did not exist four years ago – soared to new heights, and head and shoulders above the competition.
