Are you a first-year Engineering student interested in joining Mechanical Engineering? Join us for a special networking event where you’ll get to meet our students, alumni, and faculty members!
Small groups of no more than 4 students will each be matched with one current student, one alumnus and one professor so that everyone gets a chance to talk directly to the people who know the program the best. If you are considering applying for Mechanical Engineering, now’s your chance to have all your questions answered from the perspectives of someone who’s in the program, someone from industry who’s been through the program, and one of your future professors!
Whether you’re 100% sure MECH is your first choice or you’re on the fence, don’t miss this excellent opportunity to get the facts and make some great contacts!
Wednesday, April 6th, 2016
5:30-7:30 pm
ESB atrium, 2207 Main Mall
Refreshments will be provided.

The Faculty of Applied Science and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC regretfully inform that Dr. Philip Hill, Professor Emeritus, passed away February 17, 2016.
Dr. Hill was born in Vancouver in 1932. He moved to Kingston, Ontario to attend Queen?s University as an undergraduate. He completed his Doctor of Science at MIT and taught at Queen?s University. He returned to Vancouver in 1975 when he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC. He retired in 1997 but remained significantly engaged with the university and with local industry. By funding projects, supporting research, and supervising graduate students, he inspired many with his gentle challenges, deep knowledge and infectious optimism.
Dr. Hill was recognized internationally as an outstanding scholar and researcher, and leaves a tremendous legacy in numerous aspects of energy and propulsion as well as many decades-long working relationships with colleagues around the world. As a young professor at ...

Ein wichtiges Ziel der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ist es, mehr Frauen in die angewandte Forschung zu bringen. Für den Wissenschaftscampusöffnen die drei Bremer Fraunhofer-Institute IFAM, IWES und MEVIS deshalb vier Tage lang ihre Pforten. Studentinnen der Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik (MINT) erhalten Einblick in Forschungsprojekte zu den aktuellen Themen Leichtbau, Elektromobilität, Windenergie, Software für medizinische Anwendungen und vieles mehr. Fraunhofer-Forscherinnen berichten dabei auchüber eigene Karrierewege.

Wasserzeichen lösen Rätsel um Rembrandts Werkstatt
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/3/7 22:43)

Handelt es sich um eine historische Zeichnung? Oder um eine Fälschung aus dem 19. Jahrhundert? Dies ist selbst für Kunstexperten schwer zu beurteilen. Ein neues Infrarot-Verfahren von Fraunhofer-Forschern lässt Wasserzeichen auf Papieren sichtbar werden und ermöglicht somit eine genauere Datierung.

UBC Mechanical Engineering professor Dr. Peter Cripton was featured on Global’s News Hour last night, and on Global’s Morning News this morning.
Dr. Cripton, a specialist in injury biomechanics, was asked to test the safety of a discount carbon fibre helmet that was being advertised online without any safety certification or branding.
News Hour shows Dr. Cripton perform a crash test on the helmet in his lab at Vancouver General Hospital. In accordance with the US-based Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Cripton creates an impact by dropping the helmet from 2 meters in a testing apparatus, and then compares the acceleration measured from the impact with the acceleration that’s specified as the standard.
The helmet did pass the safety test, but Dr. Cripton cautions that this is just the first round of testing, adding that he would not purchase this helmet himself. Without a standards sticker, he points out, we can’t know how the helmet will pe ...

Langzeit-EKG für Windanlagen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen

Offshore-Windanlagen müssen vieles aushalten ? das gilt vor allem für die Fundamente, die im Meeresboden verankert sind. Von Zeit zu Zeit untersuchen Taucher diese Gründungsstrukturen auf Mängel. Mit einer Sensormanschette lassen sich die Kontrollen künftig schneller und einfacher durchführen. Ein solches Systempräsentieren die Wissenschaftler auf der Hannover Messe vom 25. bis 29. April 2016 (Halle 2, Stand C16/C22).
