A new McMaster innovation could reshape how silicone is used in medical implants and devices.

Led by Chem Eng PhD candidate Norma Garza Flores, an interdisciplinary research team developed a new silicone material that resists clotting and reduces the body’s foreign body response while maintaining the flexibility and strength surgeons value in medical-grade silicone.

A collab between Mac Eng and Health Sci, the team achieved this by chemically bonding the polymer directly to the silicone network, rather than applying a surface coating.

As our feeds are filled with videos and images of flooding in the Muskoka's, Sudbury and other cities across Ontario, we got to wondering: what role can engineers play in the future of flood prevention?

We caught up with Paulin Coulibaly in Civil Engineering, to shed light on why these floods are happening, what can be done to mitigate their threat, and to explain how his project, FloodNet, is helping.

“This idea that you’re designing based off of a human’s needs is an interesting way to apply the engineering process.”

Our ENGINEER 1P13 students spent their year designing accessible products that Mark McNeil could use in his day-to-day life. Diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in childhood, he has spent a lifetime navigating environments that weren’t engineered with accessibility in mind.

For 65 years, the fireball has been synonymous with Mac Eng. This fiery symbol representing energy is a visual reminder of who we are – inspiring innovators, spectacular students, supportive staff, amazing alumni. We’re a community that builds each other up and Engineers a brighter future.

So, this holiday season, we celebrate the symbol we all know and love and wish you a happy holiday!

A special thanks to Karen T. from for narrating!
