Whether building better bridges and roads, designing next generation antennas or growing crystals in a space shuttle flight, expertise within the Price Faculty of Engineering supports innovation and entrepreneurship in Manitoba and beyond. Research within the faculty generates external support of approximately $14 million per year from public, private and government sources.
The Biosensors Research Lab is a multidisciplinary research group at UM developing lab-on-a-chip devices for biological and biomedical applications. The group takes engineering approaches to design and fabricates sensors that are able to detect and manipulate cells and biomolecules. On-chip electrical measurement is one of its prime research areas, enabling detection of biological phenomena.
The Geotechnical Group is actively involved in laboratory testing, field-scale projects and numerical modelling in topics such as soil mechanics and foundation engineering, geo-environmental engineering, geo-synthetics, soil-structure interaction, groundwater hydrogeology and contaminant transport, ground improvement and unsaturated soil mechanics.
The WiCoNS Group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering performs multi-disciplinary research in the areas of wireless communications networks, cognitive/self-organizing and "green" radio systems, network economics, applied game theory and mobile and cloud computing systems.
Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary graduate program between the faculties of Engineering, Medicine and Science. Primary research areas include: medical instrumentation and sensors, biological signal processing, biomedical image processing and reconstruction, gait analysis and rehabilitation, biophotonics, orthopaedic mechanics and non-invasive diagnosis of neurological disorders.
The Department of Biosystems Engineering is well-known for its contributions to post-harvest handling and storage of grains and oilseeds, microbial generation of biofuels and bio products, machinery systems, soil and water engineering, agricultural and alternative structures, agriculture and the environment and medical textiles.
While collaboration between different research areas, departments and faculties is encouraged, the Department of Civil Engineering has been broken down into seven main areas: environmental, geotechnical, structures, transportation, water resources, construction engineering and management, and masonry and cementitious materials.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering includes several research groups and is home to specialized research facilities such as the Advanced RF Systems Lab, the Communication Systems and Network Research Lab, the Electromagnetic Imaging Lab and the Nano Systems Fabrication Lab.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is the home to several state-of-art laboratories and facilities, with strong connections to industry. The research in the department is separated into four main groups: applied mechanics and design, manufacturing and production, material science and engineering, and thermofluids and energy systems.
Academics, technical staff and students within the Price Faculty of Engineering are involved in many areas of exciting research.
