Joe Paopao<br />
joins Warriors<br />
football as<br />
full-time coACH<br />
The University of Waterloo’s Department<br />
of Athletics named Joe Paopao as the<br />
full-time head coach of the Waterloo<br />
Warriors football program.<br />
Paopao served as offensive co-ordinator<br />
and assistant head coach prior to<br />
assuming the interim head coaching<br />
duties last season. He led the Warriors<br />
to a 2-6 record last season including<br />
a dominant 48-29 upset over the<br />
Windsor Lancers in the last game<br />
of the season.<br />
Paopao enjoyed a 12-year CFL career<br />
before becoming a highly respected CFL<br />
coach and subsequently a coach with<br />
the Waterloo Warriors in 2007. In 2006,<br />
he was the offensive co-ordinator for<br />
the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. From 2001 to<br />
2005 Joe served as head coach of the<br />
Ottawa Renegades. He has also coached<br />
with Edmonton, British Columbia and<br />
Winnipeg in the CFL.<br />

McBoyle returns<br />
AS acting provost<br />
“I am pleased to advise that Geoff McBoyle has agreed to serve<br />
as interim Vice-President, Academic & Provost,” President Feridun<br />
Hamdullahpur wrote in a memo circulated to the Board of Governors<br />
and the university’s Executive Council on January 23. “As a long-time<br />
faculty member and senior administrator, he is well-attuned to the<br />
academic strengths of our institution, and the steps we must take<br />
to build on our success as an international leader in research and<br />
teaching excellence.” The role is familiar territory for McBoyle, who<br />
was appointed acting provost in October 2010 when Hamdullahpur<br />
became interim president. McBoyle remained in the position until<br />
May 2012, when he was succeeded by Sallie Ann Keller. Keller stepped<br />
down in January to refocus on research and teaching.<br />

New 3-D print centre<br />
brings rapid prototyping<br />
to Waterloo<br />
Engineering’s new 3D Print Centre which opened on February 27 is<br />
the first facility of its kind at Waterloo, offering rapid prototyping<br />
and manufacturing services to the campus. The star of the show is<br />
the Fortus 360mc, a “fused deposition modeling” (FDM) machine<br />
that builds parts layer-by-layer using polycarbonate and ABS<br />
plastics. Available in a variety of colours and surface finishes,<br />
the finished products vary in strength and durability (depending<br />
on the materials used), and have already been put to good use<br />
by Engineering’s student design teams. Purchase of the Fortus<br />
was made possible by a $100,000 grant from the DENSO North<br />
America Foundation to the Student Design Centre, combined with<br />
generous discounts from Stratasys (manufacturer) and Cimetrix<br />
Solutions (supplier). Any Waterloo student, staff or faculty<br />
member can submit design work for print production at any<br />
media.doc location. Costs range from $5 to $10 per cubic inch.<br />
