History

Iron Ring received at the University of Waterloo
Iron Ring received at the University of Waterloo

The University of Waterloo was originally conceived in 1955 as the Waterloo College Associate Faculties (WCAF), a semi-autonomous entity within Waterloo College (now Wilfrid Laurier University). The Iron Ring is a symbolic ring worn by many Canadian engineers Obtaining the ring is an optional endeavour – the ring is not a prerequisite for practicing Controversy over the beginning of pregnancy usually occurs in the context of the Abortion debate Wilfrid Laurier University is a University located in Waterloo Ontario, Canada. The non-denominational school was founded in 1957 by Drs. Gerry Hagey and Ira G. Needles in Waterloo, Ontario. [11]

Waterloo College of Arts became affiliated with Western in 1925. Today Wilfred Laurier University emphasizes liberal arts and University of Waterloo, emphasizes engineering and science. Wilfrid Laurier University is a University located in Waterloo Ontario, Canada. [12] The university's first president, Gerry Hagey, gathered teachers of engineering and basic sciences, and also obtained an initial grant of $625,000 from the government. Joseph Gerald "Gerry" Hagey (1904 &ndash October 26 1988) was an advertising and Public relations executive with B The first 74 students began classes on July 1, 1957, in makeshift temporary buildings on the Waterloo College campus. "July 1st" redirects here For the Ayumi Hamasaki song see H (song. Year 1957 ( MCMLVII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar) In January 1958, Hagey and colleagues purchased 74 hectares (184 acres) of farmland a kilometer west of Waterloo College's main campus in order to meet the growing expansion needs. [13] Soon, construction began of the first academic building on the new site, known as the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building, later renamed Engineering 1 and now named after Douglas Wright, UW's first Dean of Engineering. [14] Through a series of delicate negotiations which turned into bitter hostilities, the "Faculty of Science and Engineering" broke free from Waterloo College, partly due to the fact that the two campuses were now disjoint. Hagey himself was opposed to the break, as his dream had been to establish a world-class university built on the strengths of Waterloo College's liberal arts strengths and the applied science education of WCAF.

The University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario was incorporated and granted a university charter in 1959. Waterloo is a City in Ontario, Canada. It is the smallest of the three cities in the Regional Municipality [15] In early 1959, the government established three universities: Waterloo Lutheran University, University of St. Jerome's College, and the University of Waterloo. Saint Jerome's University is a public Roman Catholic university in Waterloo Ontario.

The policy of university education initiated in the 1960s responded to population pressure and the belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals and for society. [16] The governance was modelled on the provincial University of Toronto Act of 1906 which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (faculty), responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (citizens) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the 2 bodies and to perform institutional leadership. [17]

Initially, St. Jerome's and Waterloo Lutheran were both expected to federate with the new UW, but in the end Waterloo Lutheran chose to remain independent. Waterloo Lutheran Seminary is currently an affiliate of the nondenominational Waterloo University and offers several programs at the master's level and a Doctor of Ministry in pastoral counselling and marriage and family therapy. Waterloo Lutheran Seminary is a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada affiliated with the nondenominational Wilfrid Laurier University, located The Waterloo Lutheran seminary established the Institute for Christian Ethics in 1986. [18] UW then quickly created a faculty of arts in order to gain respect as a university. The term liberal arts refers to a particular type of educational Curriculum broadly defined as a Classical education. In the same year, arts students joined the science and engineering students in the new campus.

Three more church colleges ended up joining the university: Renison, Conrad Grebel, and St. Paul's. Conrad Grebel University College is affiliated with the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. St Paul's United College is an affiliated college of the University of Waterloo, located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Waterloo created the first Faculty of Mathematics in North America, and the first co-op programs outside of engineering soon followed. Mathematics is the body of Knowledge and Academic discipline that studies such concepts as Quantity, Structure, Space and The co-op system then was revised in involving four-month terms rather than the initial three-month terms. In 1967, the College of Optometry of Ontario, at the moment an independent institution in Toronto, moved to Waterloo and became affiliated with the university. Optometry is a health care profession concerned with Eyes and related structures as well as vision, Visual systems and vision information In 1967 the world's first Department of Kinesiology was created, which later grew into the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. Health science is the applied science dealing with Health, and it includes many sub disciplines The Faculty of Environmental Studies was created soon after. Environmental studies is the systematic study of human interaction with their environment

The University of Waterloo launched its program in architecture in 1967. More recently, in 2004, the School of Architecture was relocated to downtown Cambridge in an effort to enhance the school's facilities and strengthen its community ties. The School of Architecture is one of the professional schools of the University of Waterloo. Cambridge ( 2006 population 124371 is a city located on the Grand River and Speed River The School, located in a former industrial building on the Grand River, is an important part of plans to bolster the economy of Cambridge's downtown area.

In 2001, the University of Waterloo announced its intentions to develop a Research and Technology Park on the university's north campus. The park intends to house many of the high-tech industries in the area and maintain the partnership between university and private-sector innovation. In Economics, the private sector is that part of the economy which is both run for private Profit and is not controlled by the State. Sybase/iAnywhere Solutions and Open Text Corporation were the first two tenants, and the multi-tenant Accelerator Centre building opened in April 2006. Sybase Inc ( is an enterprise software and services company exclusively focused on managing and mobilizing information Open Text Corporation () is a Canadian high-tech company based in Waterloo Ontario, Canada.

Reputation

More Canadian high-tech and knowledge-based spin-off companies trace their roots to the University of Waterloo than to any other school, and as such, the University of Waterloo and the Waterloo region has been called the "Silicon Valley of the North". [19]

Great emphasis is placed on furthering the growth of research by quick and steady expansion of resources. The Institute for Quantum Computing, established in 2002, is one of a number of institutes and centres for research established, and has already begun to attract international scientists and a Nobel laureate to the university. The Institute for Quantum Computing, or IQC, is an institution based in Waterloo Ontario dedicated to bringing together Mathematicians Physicists This is a list of Nobel Prize Laureates awarded for their outstanding contributions to Humanitarian causes for Peace, work in Literature

Computer Science and Mathematics

The international reputation of Waterloo in mathematics and computer science is reflected in the performance of its students in academic competitions such as the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, often abbreviated to the Putnam Competition, is an annual mathematics competition for Undergraduate ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (abbreviated as ACM-ICPC or just ICPC) is an annual multi-tiered computer programming competition among the universities In the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, Waterloo students have won gold medals in 2000,[20] 2001,[21] 2002[22] and 2005. [23] Since the ACM contest began in 1977, Waterloo teams have accumulated the second most ACM first-place finishes (tied with six other schools). Since the inaugural Putnam competition in 1938, Waterloo teams have accumulated the sixth most top-five finishes ahead of Duke, Chicago, WUSL, Yale, Berkeley, Cornell, Stanford, Columbia and Carnegie Mellon among others.

International Rankings

According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2007, the University of Waterloo was ranked 112th overall, 35th in the world for technology, 47th in the world for the natural sciences.

Maclean's Rankings

Waterloo prides itself on its high performance in Maclean's magazine's Canadian university rankings - the Canadian counterpart to the American US News annual ranking of universities. Maclean's is a Canadian weekly News magazine, reporting on Canadian issues such as politics pop culture and current events In Higher education, college and university rankings are listings of Universities and Liberal arts colleges in an order determined by any combination of USNews & World Report is an influential weekly American Newsmagazine published in Washington D The university routinely places in the top three in the numerical Comprehensive ranking,[24] and in the reputation survey it placed first as best overall 13 out of 15 times that the ranking was published. [25] Maclean's describes the university as "strong in math, engineering and computer science," as well as being "internationally recognized for the unparalleled success of its more than 100 undergraduate and graduate co-op programs. "[26]

Co-operative Education

Waterloo is famous for being a groundbreaking proponent of co-operative education in Canada and currently maintains the largest co-op program in the world. Please note that Co-operative education can also refer to education about Co-operative societies. In the official annual national university report by Maclean's, the University of Waterloo has placed best overall out of 47 universities in Canada for the past 13 of 15 years since the survey began. The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC is an organisation that groups Canada's universities [26]

Controversies

Beavers Killed on Campus

In November 2006, four beavers were trapped and killed on the university campus after they gnawed down several trees. The beavers were considered a safety risk, and a licensed trapping company was contracted to install traps to kill the beavers by drowning. [27]

The local and national press coverage of the university's actions resulted in a storm of public condemnation. Over 300 letters of complaint were sent to the city newspaper, and numerous alumni contacted the university in protest and cancelled their donations. [28]

Agreement with Microsoft

The university announced a controversial agreement with Microsoft in 2002. [29] As part of this agreement, the University of Waterloo was to receive $2. 3 million in funding from the Microsoft Canada Academic Innovation Alliance in exchange for introducing Microsoft's C# programming language in some programs. Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational Computer technology Corporation, which rose to dominate the Home computer C# (pronounced C Sharp is a Multi-paradigm However, the School of Computer Science declined to participate, and currently teaches Scheme and C in its introductory courses.

It is one of the two main dialects of Lisp and supports a number of programming paradigms but is tags please moot on the talk page first! --> In Computing, C is a general-purpose cross-platform block structured [30] The university administration asserted that this agreement would not jeopardize academic integrity at the institution, although the university president acknowledged making mistakes in announcing the Microsoft deal. [31]

Ties with Industry

Through its large co-op program (the largest in the world) and many spin-off companies, the University of Waterloo maintains close ties with the high-tech industry.

UW has a long-standing intellectual property policy[32] that leaves ownership rights with the inventor, rather than the university, which has helped create many spin-off companies that maintain a good relationship with UW. Intellectual property ( IP) is a legal field that refers to creations of the mind such as musical literary and artistic works inventions and symbols names In particular, it has a strong connection with Research In Motion that goes beyond its close physical proximity. Research In Motion Limited ( RIM) () is a Wireless device company best known as the developer of the BlackBerry handheld Communication Co-founder and CEO Mike Lazaridis was a UW student before he started RIM, and is currently the chancellor of the university. Mihal "Mike" Lazaridis, OC, OOnt (born March 14, 1961, Istanbul, Turkey) is the founder and co- CEO A Chancellor is the head of a University. Other titles are sometimes used such as President or Rector. RIM hires hundreds of UW co-op students each term and a large proportion of its employees are UW alumni.

During his visit to Waterloo in October 2005, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates stated, "Most years, we hire more students out of Waterloo than any university in the world, typically 50 or even more. Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational Computer technology Corporation, which rose to dominate the Home computer If you would like to experiment with Wikipedia please copy "[33]

Some students and faculty have been critical of the level of corporate involvement in UW's academics. The university came under harsh criticism in August 2002 when the Faculty of Engineering accepted funding from Microsoft to develop courses using Microsoft's .NET Framework. Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational Computer technology Corporation, which rose to dominate the Home computer [34]

Spin-offs

Several companies have roots in, or have been spun off from the university. Some of the most notable include:

The Faculty of Engineering, citing a shortage of space compared to the undergraduate and graduate enrollment and number of faculty members, is planning a $150M expansion between 2008 and 2012 in the form of three new buildings. Two are to be located outside Ring Road and linked back to the main campus by a walkway, while one will be built inside Ring Road in proximity to the current Engineering side of campus. The Iron Warrior reports that the Faculty has secured funding and received approval for the first of these three buildings, to be called Engineering 5, which will house a Student Design Centre showcasing the Waterloo Engineering student teams, along with space for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, and the Department of Systems Design Engineering. The latter's original hopes for an exclusive building just for Systems are now dead according to Dean of Engineering Adel Sedra, as they were not able to locate the sufficient funds. [14]

The university and the City of Kitchener are constructing a health sciences campus, including a School of Pharmacy, in the central Kitchener warehouse district. The City of Kitchener (ˈkɪtʃɨnɚ is a City in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The School of Pharmacy is one of the professional schools at the University of Waterloo. The term Warehouse District has been used for several urban neighborhoods across the United States that were formerly gritty industrial areas but have since experienced Gentrification The project will cost $34 million for the first phase. The Honours co-operative Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy program begins in January 2008. Preliminary operations, including staffed medical and optometry clinics, are based out of the former Victoria Public School in Kitchener's downtown.
