?Engineering will teach you about yourself and how to push through difficult challenges to find a solution.?
I am a proud mechanical engineer graduate who has always been interested in creating change and helping others. Throughout my education, I have been involved with the Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Club (Club Mech) as the newsletter editor, vice-president and president (2017-2018), where I found amazing friendships and a passion for promoting unity within our student community. Helping to encourage awareness and support about gender minorities and biases has been a topic close to my heart that lead me to get involved with Women in Engineering (WiE) ? I love being able to motivate and support women in engineering by sharing my experiences, while learning many valuable professional and personal skills. I am an extremely passionate person, who is grateful to my peers, staff and faculty for making my time at UBC valuable and memorable.

MECH Alum Wins Oral Presentation Award at Injury Biomechanics SymposiumFront Page?M?Beth Schoenfeldm
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/5/29 0:18)

M?Beth Schoenfeld , a second-year MASc student in UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering, was awarded the Dr. Margaret H. Hines Award for best oral presentation at the 2018 Injury Biomechanics Symposium hosted by The Ohio State University. Now in its fourteenth year, the annual event aims “to stimulate and reward strong injury biomechanics research among students and recent graduates.”
Schoenfeld, who is co-supervised by UBC mechanical engineering professor Peter Cripton, presented on a study where she and her team measured the vertebral and muscular responses of a live human subject as he was taken from an upright seated position into an upside-down free-fall. Accomplished using a custom inversion device built by Schoenfeld and her team, the study was an attempt to recreate the conditions of a rollover ? a crash where a vehicle tips onto its side or roof ? prior to a head-first impact.
After the free-fall, the study participant was safely decelerated to rest an ...

70 SCENES OF HALLOWEEN
By Jeffrey M Jones
Directed by Christopher Herold
In this quirky and inventive play, ordinary married couple Jeff and Joan seem set to spend Halloween on their couch in a state of mild antagonism and mutual boredom. But as time fragments and reassembles, dark forces emerge and the couple must contend with ghosts, beasts, and witches banging on their windows, wafting through their rooms, and wielding butcher knives.
October 11-14, 2018 // The Playhouse at Zellerbach Hall

TARTUFFE
By Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur
Directed by Domenique Lozano
A con man disguised as a pious spiritual leader wheedles his way into the home of a gullible wealthy man in the midst of a mid-life crisis?and promptly sets the household topsy turvy. If not for quick-witted Dorine, grounded Elmire, and patient Cléante, all might be lost! Lechery, egotism, young ...

NYU?s Research Platform for End-To-End 5G mmWave Communications
Dr. Marco Mezzavilla
NYU Tandon School of Engineering
To register for this event, please click here
In this talk, Dr. Mezzavilla will provide a description of the most recent activities, awarded projects, and key finds related to mmWave communications. The focus will be on NYU’s end-to-end research platform, which comprises a channel sounder that integrates a phased-array with 12 steerable antenna elements, a mmWave channel emulator, and a customizable open source network simulator for 5G end-to-end mmWave cellular systems (whose tutorial recently appeared in IEEE COMST). This platform has been awarded a NIST grant to assess the feasibility of mmWave communications for emergency scenarios. Moreover, the same team, in collaboration with Rutgers University and Columbia University ...

Abstract:
Precision medicine is a medical model with the idea that molecular information improves the precision with which patients are categorized and treated. Systems biology, one of the applications of precision medicine, aims to analyze the molecular expression level of an individual patient and further for targeted therapy. In this talk, I will represent how to find out drug targets and drugs in lung and breast cancers as well as neuroblastoma using systems biology approach. Here, we integrated not only proteome but also various gene expression datasets ...
