Four civil and environmental engineering students at the University of Windsor think they have come up with a way to make it safer to travel a heavily used section of the E.C. Row Expressway between Dougall Avenue and Walker Road.

A Windsor physician and three long-time faculty members are the four outstanding University supporters who will be recognized with a 2014 Clark Award during an evening in their honour on Thursday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. in the Ambassador Auditorium, CAW Student Centre.

Participating in the Outstanding Scholars program has been a highlight of his time at the University of Windsor, says Jason Duic.

The section of the E.C. Row Expressway between Dougall and Walker roads is arguably one of the most dangerous strips of highway in the region, and many believe it’s only going to get worse as traffic increases in the area.

As an undergraduate studying engineering in Windsor, Phil Alexander (BASc 1963, MASc 1964) was struck by the appropriateness of the University’s motto to his chosen profession.

Proper urban planning can save money while saving the earth’s scarce resources, says Rafal Marynowski. A master’s student of civil engineering, he looked at ways that Windsor can save on expensive upgrades to its stormwater sewers in a project for professor Tirupati Bolisetti’s course on water resources management.

ming to Windsor might have been the best move ever for a young Chinese engineering graduate student who’s trying to improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles.

“It’s been really good for me,” said Xiaomin Lu, a PhD student who will soon return to Windsor after a productive six-week trip to India to conduct more research. “If I had stayed in China, I never would have had the opportunity to experience so much.”

If you find emergency room wait times getting shorter, the professional to thank may not be in medicine, but in engineering.

A group of industrial engineering students from the University of Windsor learned their optimization skills apply as much to the hospital as to the factory during a case competition at the Institute of Industrial Engineers national conference in Toronto, January 23 to 26.
