This is an exception to the "clean the chalk boards before you leave" standard I wish more people would follow. #ClassroomChalkboardArt

As per tradition, p(r)izes were handed out today in #ENGR1501 to the top 3 teams in our “Ring-Pong 2023” engineering design challenge! Always interested to see the order in which the pies get selected. This year it was: 🥇apple 🥈pecan 🥉cherry Which would you choose first?

Thanks to whoever set up this memorial in the atrium to the 14 women killed in the 1989 École Polytechnique attack. #dec6 #rememberthe14

I had an 8:30am class this term & tried using “attendance selfies” to incentivize showing up (i.e., when the animal pic comes up, snap a selfie, submit for marks). There's was an obvious decline over the term, but I still averaged almost 84% of students! I'm calling that a win.

Slow exam night at the gym. I have half the place for just my students. #ENGR1056

The boy and his mom have been busy prepping for a bake sale. Got to drop him & his baking off at school, but didn't get to sample his wares.

We will once again be offering mock interviews to our students on Jan 29 to 31. Practice your interview skills with real volunteers from industry and receive invaluable feedback! Sign-ups begin next Mon Jan 15. Consult the event website for details: wbrent.lievers.net/mock-interview…

Registration Now Open!!!

Rock-Tech will be here on Wednesday February 7 for a student presentation! Same time, same place. #engineeryourcareer #industryvisits

Grateful to Dr. Giacomo Valle, currently at The University of Chicago, for his incredible guest lecture this morning about the state of the art in providing sensory feedback in prosthetics. Amazing stuff! #ENGR3566

Started my Friday by checking my spam folder for false positives and noticed I received some messages from some fairly famous folks, including Dr. Oz & Kate Winslet! Nice try scammers. Katie would never call me “Dr. Lievers” and we normally message on WhatsApp.

Feel a little guilty eating such a friendly radish.

Another great pair of guest lectures this morning in #ENGR3566 from Andrew Koshyk & Michael Kuczynski (Michael Kuczynski) ! We learned about the fatigue behaviour of equine bone, the use of dynamic CT to understand thumb motion in OA, & how interdisciplinary biomedical research can be.

Enjoyed having Dr. Chris Mills, Dr. Emma Neupert, & JonWhite join us virtually from UoP Sport, Health and Exercise Science yesterday. Two great talks on seat design for F1 drivers & the effects of track bends/inclination on running biomechanics! #ENGR3566

Happy #IronRing day to our LU Engineering and Computer Science students & congratulations to all those who will be taking part in the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer later today.

The McMaster grad studies reference system needs to chill with their reminders.

**Engineering Undergrads** We are looking for your feedback on your experience so far in the undergraduate engineering program (and you have the chance to win one of 5 $50 gift cards for filling in the survey). Please take the 15 minutes to fill in the survey before April 26th.

We ended this year's series of #ENGR3566 guest presentations on a high note with Dr. Colin Firminger from U Calgary & McCaig Institute talking about his studies of tendon strain in cycling!
