Getting around campus

Balancing the demands of professional racing with the rigours of university life is no easy task, yet Ontario Tech University Automotive Engineering student Mac Clark is proving he can excel at both.

Dr. Qusay H. Mahmoud, Professor and Assistant Dean, Engineering Outreach in Ontario Tech University’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, shares his perspective on how software engineering students can future-proof their careers and thrive in a world where AI is not a threat, but a useful tool.

Ontario Tech University continues to gain momentum with prospective students across Ontario and beyond. New data from the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre shows undergraduate applications to Ontario Tech increased by 5.3 per cent year over year, more than twice the provincial average.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly positioned as a tool to support climate action, from improving weather forcasting to strengthening agricultural monitoring. At the same time, its rapid growth raises important questions about energy demand, water use and equitable access to the technology’s benefits.
