Electric vehicle research at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) received a substantial financial boost today, as Minister of Industry Tony Clement announced a $1.2-million investment to improve electric vehicles with extended range capabilities (EV) as part of the Automotive Partnership Canada initiative. This is the first research project to be announced under the APC umbrella.

Only months away from opening as the first research, development and innovation centre of its kind in the world, the Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) is taking shape on the Oshawa campus of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).

The best young robotics minds from across Ontario were in Oshawa to tackle the challenge of transforming transportation, when the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) played host to the annual For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Lego League (FLL) provincial championships.

Ontario is helping attract and retain the top researchers who will strengthen the province’s competitiveness in the global innovation-driven economy.

UOIT's motorsports clubs had all cylinders firing at the recent Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Central Ontario Section Students' Night 2009. The clubs, comprised of Engineering students, took home two awards for its innovative automotive designs and constructions.

Samveg Saxena, a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), has received an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada Post-graduate Scholarship Award worth $42,000
