Jeff Defoe, Jacqueline Stagner and Jennifer JohrendtEngineering professors Jeff Defoe, Jacqueline Stagner and Jennifer Johrendt search for clues in an escape room designed in part by an engineering undergraduate student. The faculty team defeated the Windsor Engineering Student Society’s team in the first-ever faculty vs. student escape room challenge Tuesday at Hidden Trail.

Engineering students and faculty face off in local escape room

With 47 seconds to spare, a team of University of Windsor professors narrowly defeated a group of engineering students in a local escape room designed in part by a UWindsor undergraduate.

In an escape room, players are locked in a room and must solve a series of puzzle and storylines to find the key to exit. In one of the most suspenseful finishes in the history of Hidden Trail—a local business that designs and creates escape rooms—a team of engineering faculty bolted out of the room 47 seconds faster than the Windsor Engineering Student Society’s team on August 23.

Engineering students and faculty to face off in escape room challenge

University of Windsor faculty and students will face off Tuesday in a local escape room that features electrical components designed by a UWindsor electrical engineering student.

Members of the Windsor Engineering Student Society will compete against an engineering faculty team at 10 a.m. August 23 at Hidden Trail on 3147 Tecumseh Road East.

Earlier this year, Hidden Trail hired Joel Bondy, an electrical engineering undergraduate student, to assist with the design of several electrical components in two of its escape rooms: the Speakeasy and the Mad Hatter’s Birthday.

Open house reception to celebrate retirement of engineering technologist Pat Seguin

Friends and colleagues of engineering technologist Pat Seguin will gather for a retirement party in his honour on Friday, July 22.

Seguin serves both the Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His last day of work will be July 29, leaving him just days short of 38 years' employment at the University of Windsor.

The open house-style reception will feature refreshments and fellowship and run 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room 3000 of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.
