Such engagements help accelerate important research advancements, including identifying ways to improve crop performance and increasing knowledge of vision science and virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the 2021-22 academic year, we developed and nurtured networks with other institutions and industry organizations both locally and globally to promote progress in diverse sectors, including finance, technology, transportation and agriculture. These efforts included working with Scotiabank to combat global financial crimes and collaborating with an auto industry leader to develop an electric car prototype. Our tight-knit industry-academia relationships also enabled us to reimagine the future of learning and employment by co-developing a uniquely flexible alternative to traditional university degree study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By continuing to cultivate partnerships that advance positive change, Lassonde further cemented its status as a top engineering School and one to watch. Discover how we\u2019re working together to make gains on our commitment to improve the world for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\n<div id=research class=\"wp-block-acf-carousel
