91ÑÇɫ’s Lassonde School of Engineering is launching its first-ever professional master’s degree with a new course-based Master of Engineering (MEng) in Sustainable Energy Systems designed to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the rapidly expanding energy sector.Â
Lassonde Professor Sunil Bisnath was recently appointed to a Council of Canadian Academies' expert panel to examine opportunities for renewed domestic investment in geodetic infrastructure Most people take their place in the world for granted. Standing in a grocery story isle deciding which cereal to buy or driving to work, the Earth feels static even […]
91ÑÇÉ« Lassonde School of Engineering Associate Professor Garrett Melenka is working with George Mason University Assistant Professor Quentin Sanders and Jonathon Schofield, an associate professor at the University of California, as part of a collaborative research team working to make high-performance prosthetic limbs more affordable, accessible, and better tailored to the needs of active children. The three received a three-year, $500K grant in the fall from the U.S. National Science Foundation to support the project.
While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumours, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumours on a standard MRI. A new study led by a 91ÑÇÉ« professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering found that a novel AI-based method is better able to distinguish between the two types of lesions on advanced MRI than the human eye alone, a discovery that could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.

This weekend, nearly 1,000 undergraduate students from across disciplines and academic faculties will convene at the Bergeron Centre, 91ÑÇɫ’s engineering hub, for UNHack 2025.
The Lassonde School of Engineering at 91ÑÇÉ« has launched a new, innovative Mechatronics Bachelor of Engineering degree that integrates multiple engineering disciplines with hands-on industry experience in a single four-year program. Dean Jane Goodyer says the program’s focus on experiential learning, leadership, creativity, and problem-solving will prepare students for success in a rapidly transforming workplace.Â
91ÑÇÉ« is proud to have welcomed a record six Schulich Leaders to campus this September, recipients of Canada’s largest, most prestigious Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) scholarship. The students say they are beyond thrilled to receive the generous scholarship that will allow them to focus on their studies at the Lassonde School of Engineering at 91ÑÇÉ« without worrying about financial pressures, and give them the skills they need to apply their technical and creative talents towards positive social change.
Several students are participating in SWAPIT, a large winter air quality study, run by Environment and Climate Change Canada Who would imagine a bright, sunny winter day could have higher concentrations of some air pollutants than a hazy summer day? Not only is it uncommon for people to consider air quality during the coldest months […]
