Hydraumas III is a robot that walks on six feet and is already standing out as a model of innovation. Its designers, all students from Montréal's École de technologie supérieure, urged on as they were to make a robot that could serve mankind in various tasks, devoted eleven months to developing a prototype. Such outstanding perseverance earned them an award for excellence in professional standards of design, production, presentation, and technological integration. Having taken first place for mechanical design in a contest held at a recent international convention of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers held in Atlanta, the designers of Hydraumas III are now getting ready to make a four-footed walking robot, Capra.

The Multif project made it possible to develop an essential testing bed for developing multi-frequency optical communications technology. The innovative aspect of this project was that it perfected a device capable of generating specific optical frequencies, of which the communications channel frequencies meet the highest established standards. The Centre at Université Laval for Optics, Photonics, and Laser technology was thus able to generate an absolute frequency scale of 100 GHz. The testing bed was completed last summer, and is bound to be an invaluable scientific tool for assessing future telecommunications technology.

Science and technologyFor eight years, over one hundred students from the Engineering Faculty of the Université de Sherbrooke have had the opportunity to take part in the Ingénierie Sans Frontières [Engineering Without Borders] project through which they complemented their university training as engineers by organizing and going on a study excursion to the developing world. Ingénierie Sans Frontières [Engineering Without Borders] thereby gives future engineers the chance to acquire scientific, commercial, and cultural skills and knowledge in the area of international exchange. Since 1992, groups of students have been to China, Mexico, Chile, Vietnam, and Argentina. Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia are on the agenda for this year.
