The 2022 Undergraduate Summer Student Research Conference was held on August 16, 2022.

Over 90 undergraduate students from the Lassonde School of Engineering and beyond presented their research projects during this conference. The students presented their research on a wide range of projects focusing on the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals, such as

  • The effect of climate change on bridge infrastructure
  • The effect of electric vehicle charging loads on the power grid
  • Ensuring point of use water safety in decentralized drinking water systems in Canada
  • Modeling the effect of climate change on groundwater recharge
  • and many more interesting topics…

The research projects were funded through the following programs:

  • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada: Undergraduate Student Research Award (NSERC USRA)
