University of Toronto Engineering Tour

Friday, March 22, 2013 from 3:00PM-5:00PM

​

This tour is a great way to walk around the buildings, look at the undergraduate labs, and talk to a couple of current students about what they are studying, and general life on campus.  Our student tour guides are also all undergraduates and open to show tourists what the university has to offer alongside take any specific questions and detours across campus to accommodate what the tour group wishes to see. Come and see a world class university from the inside out through the eyes of current undergrad students like yourself who are interested in graduate studies as well.

Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) Wind Tunnel Tour

​Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 10:00AM-11:00AM​

​

The General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) is the first commercial automotive research, development and innovation centre of its kind in the world. This is a place where industry, researchers and students collaborate to create, test and validate paradigm-shifting innovations with a focus on bringing them to market as rapidly as possible. ACE has an array of testing equipment, including one of the largest and most sophisticated climatic wind tunnels on the planet. ACE enables knowledge and practical experience to combine more effectively and to create synergies across disciplines and skill sets, leading to a stronger manufacturing economy in Canada. At the same time, it helps educate and train the skilled personnel needed to take the automotive industry and manufacturing to a new level of competitiveness and success.



Clean Energy Research Lab (CERL) Tour

​Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 11:00AM-11:30AM & 11:30AM-12:00PM​

​

The Clean Energy Research Laboratory (CERL) is used to conduct research on hydrogen production, heat engines and nanotechnology. Currently, researchers are working on the world's first lab-scale demonstration of a copper-chlorine cycle for thermochemical water splitting and nuclear hydrogen production. Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier of the future and potentially major solution to the problem of climate change. Using nuclear, solar or other heat sources (such as waste heat from furnaces or industrial plant emissions), the Cu-Cl cycle promises to achieve higher efficiencies, lower environmental impact and lower costs of hydrogen production than any other existing technology. In addition, research in CERL is conducted on new types of heat engines for cleaner generation of electricity, including a Marnoch heat engine, and nanotechnology devices for waste heat recovery in automotive, computer, mobile device and other applications.
