2018 APSC 169 Design Showcase Winners Announced
APSC 169 Fundamentals of Sustainable Engineering Design focuses on the theory and practice of sustainable engineering.
Wirelessly efficient power
Researchers at the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia have discovered a way to balance power transfer efficiency with power loss due to inactivity in wireless power transfer systems.
Smart-bridge technology could lead to cheaper and safer infrastructure
Researchers at UBC Okanagan have determined that smart memory alloys are a safer and more cost-effective alternative to steel reinforced concrete bridges in earthquake-prone areas like the BC lower mainland.
Top researchers receive prestigious awards at UBC Okanagan
From smart building materials, to innovative public art, to improved palliative care, UBC Okanagan’s Researchers of the Year are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and developing new ways to improve their communities.
Newly developed 3D printed tissues could advance cancer research
Researchers from UBC’s Okanagan campus hope to make advances in tissue replacement and cancer research through a new technology that can produce living, 3D printed bio-tissues.
Research flourishes between both UBC campuses
The integration of research across both campuses of the University of British Columbia will be paramount to its success over the next decade.
UBC engineers advance the capability of wearable tech
Creating the perfect wearable device to monitor muscle movement, heart rate and other tiny bio-signals without breaking the bank has inspired scientists to look for a simpler and more affordable tool.
New sensor could change the way liquids are measured and monitored on a micro-scale
Using an innovative type of flow sensor, researchers at the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia have uncovered a new way to measure flow rates.
Lending a hand in Haiti
UBC Okanagan civil engineering student, Rick George, recently traveled to Haiti to help make a difference.
