Students design innovative, low-cost solution for tricky tracheal intubation
A piece of string, a $1 spring and some 3D-printed plastic – it doesn’t sound like much. Yet, when brilliantly combined, these items can make a new tracheal intubation guide system for hard-to-intubate patients costing under $20. It’s an innovative design that has netted its designers, then-fourth-year engineering students Qian (Linda) Liu (EngSci 1T3 + […]
Ted Sargent and Peter Zandstra named Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada

Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), was elected to the Academy of Science in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division. His research has resulted in advances in […]
Engineering safer drugs and skin grafts with Grand Challenges Canada grants
In Canada, the pharmaceutical drugs we find at the pharmacy are rarely cause for concern. We don’t worry about what has been added or if they’ve turned toxic because of improper storage. But according to researchers at the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering (IBBME), other areas of the world aren’t so fortunate – and […]
U of T Engineering welcomes four new faculty members
As new and returning engineering students attend their first classes of the year, the excitement on U of T campus is palpable. But it’s not only the pupils who are looking forward to a fresh start; our newest educators are also excited to join the Faculty, to pursue research and to inspire the next generation […]
Engineering students showcase innovative research at UnERD
Crowded around glossy posters, inquiring about dental resins and porous structural materials, U of T Engineering’s undergraduate students buzzed with excitement as they shared their summer research projects. The event, known as UnERD (Undergraduate Engineering Research Day), was a one-day research symposium that gave students an opportunity to gain additional feedback and recognition for their […]
Engineering energy-efficient lighting
Doing more with less is the future of lighting. As smart novel lighting technologies use less energy to shine brighter, it’s also a trend that flipping the switch in homes and businesses around the world. It’s known as smart sustainable lighting, and researchers from the University of Toronto are leading the charge in design and […]
Four U of T Engineering students awarded Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships
Cancer; climate change; aging infrastructure; heart disease: these 50 letters can cost billions of dollars and countless lives. On August 14, four U of T engineering students received Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships – prestigious awards from the Government of Canada – to enable pioneering research in these areas: Miles Montgomery (IBBME PhD 1T6) for his […]
The world’s most energy efficient light bulb now dims without a dimmer
What if you could dim the lights across your entire house without having to buy dimming switches – and save the environment too? Thanks to the latest invention from Nanoleaf, a startup from U of T Engineering alumni, you soon can. Nanoleaf, creators of the world’s most efficient light bulb, has released a new dimmable […]
