Curious about how to 3-D print? Join us for the first session of a 2-part series to learn the tips and tricks to using a 3-D printer to help bring your ideas to life! Our workshop facilitator is a graduate student in Engineering at the University of Guelph and has extensive experience with 3-D printing, app design and prototyping. 

The University of Guelph's Department of Mathematics and Statistics presents a Graduate Studies Information Session! Join in on October 17th from 2-4pm at the OAC Centennial Arboretum Centre to learn about Graduate studies in Math & Stats. RSVP by October 15th to gradms@uoguelph.ca. 

The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) invites its graduate students from all units to participate in our 2021 Graduate Student Research Day to be held virtually on October 15th, 2021, between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm.

Join us in October 2021 for the UofG Virtual Graduate Preview Day! Come out and learn more about the diverse graduate programs available at U of G. Connect with faculty and current grad students from the programs that interest you.  Sign up for an email reminder for info from your program(s) of interest and to stay up to date as our 2021 Virtual Graduate Preview Days gets closer!

This seminar, facilitated by the Master of Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence Program will provide an introduction to blockchain technology, discuss some of its benefits and consider the risk and challenges it poses. As well as a review of cryptography principles and methods along with common uses.

The University of Guelph's Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) club is designing fun challenges and featuring guest speakers to showcase what engineering has to offer. Register for the event and have a free pre-packed Go-ENG-Girl Activities/Swag package mailed to you. Available for girls in grades 7-10. 

Join students, faculty and staff as we come together in ceremony honouring Residential School Survivors and the children who never returned home. The ceremony will be led by Elders Dan and Mary Lou Smoke and hosted by the Indigenous Student Centre and Indigenous Initiatives and in collaboration with the Indigenous Student Society. All students, faculty and staff are welcome and may wish to attend for the opening at noon or to drop by as they can.

The accuracy and fairness of machine learning models are often assumed to be separate, and to some extent conflicting, desiderata. I argue that this is a mistake that partially stems from an overly simplistic understanding of accuracy. Using insights from the philosophy of measurement, I distinguish among three sources of inaccuracy in supervised machine learning: label bias, modeling bias, and fitness bias. While the machine learning community has focused on minimizing label and modeling bias, it has tended to shift responsibility for fitness bias to users.

Workshop Description

We will be running STEM-themed day camps for youth going into grades 2-3 and 4-6 in the fall during the month of August. There will be 3 camps running each week of August, with each camp having a maximum capacity of 12 campers supervised by at least 2 STEM Instructors. This reduced camper capacity will allow for proper social distancing in addition to the government-mandated COVID-19 prevention safety measures that will be followed to ensure everyone’s safety while at camp.  More Information
