The symposium is on Friday, March 23 from 10 am until 6:30 pm in the Davis Centre on the University of Waterloo Campus.
University of Waterloo Third Annual Nanotechnology Engineering Design Symposium
Waterloo, Canada | Posted on March 17th, 2012
Students from the Nanotechnology Engineering Program at the University of Waterloo will present their design projects at the 3rd Annual Design Project Symposium. Seventeen student project teams will present their prototypes that includes solutions for improved HIV and chemotherapy drug effectiveness and HIV detection, detector systems for spoiled meat and explosives, a novel display technology that works on glass and mirrors, a flexible electricity storage device, an exoskeleton glove-based human-computer interface and a high strength and a removable and residual free adhesive inspired by the nanotechnology present in the Gecko foot. Visitors are welcome to attend presentations from the student as well as browse the interactive displays and meet with the presenters any time throughout the day.
