Description
The U of T Engineering Research Conference (UTERC) is returning this summer for its 5th annual edition! UTERC provides students, researchers, and industry professionals with a unique opportunity to engage with the work of our graduate students. This year’s theme celebrates the momentum of transformative ideas and forward-thinking solutions that are shaping our world. Riding the Wave of Innovation invites participants to explore how emerging technologies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and bold creativity are driving progress across various fields. Whether you are pushing boundaries in research or reimagining real-world applications, this theme encourages all students to harness the power of innovation to make a meaningful impact.
The format of the conference will involve graduate students delivering either podium or poster presentations. We especially welcome presentations from MEng students on their course or internship projects! We are introducing four conference streams this year:
◦ Intelligent Systems and Data
◦ Health and Biomedical Engineering
◦ Sustainable Solutions and Education
◦ Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics
As a leading research faculty, the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is pushing the limits and pioneering initiatives in this increasingly digital world. UTERC embodies this spirit by providing a platform for students to showcase their research, share bold ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of engineering and technology.
Sincerely,
The UTERC 2025 Team
