Connected Canadians Outreach & Partnership Coordinator

During COVID-19 the demand for the services at Connected Canadians has gone up significantly, and the strain on the volunteer management team has gone through the roof. Communities all over Canada asking Connected Canadians for help. One of the key areas that have expanded in scope is dealing with those communities, and standardizing the procedures for handling these incoming requests. Organizations continue to ask Connected Canadians for different types of training programs both for seniors and their own organizations. This project is key to resolving any inefficiencies in the current outreach and partner management
processes as Connected Canadians’ scale; being able to document processes and address any issues early on is key, to ensure that the future growth process is as smooth as possible while helping Connected Canadians to serve more Canadian seniors in the future.

Développer et moderniser les processus de gestions de projet et de gestion des connaissances

Le nouveau contexte économique en raison de la COVID-19 et la nécessité de passer d’urgence au télétravail ont eu de grandes perturbations sur le déroulement des projets au niveau de CTA. En effet, la réduction des interactions entre les employés et les stagiaires fait en sorte que les connaissances générées lors des projets sont de moins en moins partagées. D’une part, le suivi de l’avancement des projets et l’affectation des ressources en temps réel est plus compliqué; ce qui affecte la qualité des livrables et entraine des retards. D’autre part, la distanciation sociale et le télétravail ont freiné le transfert et le partage des connaissances entres les employés; ce qui provoque une perte directe de l’expertise pour CTA.
L’objectif de ce projet est d’analyser les besoins et les méthodes actuelles en gestion de projet, de revoir la stratégie de gestion de connaissance mise en place, de développer les outils de travail et d’instaurer les bonnes pratiques afin de faciliter la gestion de projet et la rétention des connaissances au sein de CTA.

Cold active Enzyme Booster Technology (EnBooT®) for decontamination of petroleum hydrocarbons

Petroleum hydrocarbons (comprise crude oil, gasoline, and diesel) are an important energy resource used by industries and human. At the same time, contamination by oil and oil products has caused serious harm to humans and the environment and increasing attention has been paid to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for the removal of these contaminants. Bioremediation, which is based on certain species of microorganisms to metabolize petroleum hydrocarbons completely or partially, is considered a cheap and effective method to clean up contaminated water and soil. However, low temperatures can adversely affect the clean time in cold climate regions. Some bacteria are known as cold-active oil-eating strains that can use petroleum hydrocarbons as sources of energy for growth at low temperatures (<15C). These bacteria can produce biological agents (enzymes) in the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons which can be useful for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbon spills in a short treatment time. we proposed Enzyme Booster Technology (EnBooT) as a novel, green, and effective advanced bioremediation method. In this regard, the combination of cold-active enzymes will be used for petroleum hydrocarbons for soil clean-up in Canadian cold sites.

Analyse et interpolation spatiale de champs dedéformations sur les aubes de turbinesh ydrauliques

Les producteurs de turbines hydroélectriques optimisent sans cesse leurs équipements pour des raisons concurrentiels, économiques et environnementales. C’est le cas des turbines hydroélectrique qui sont poussé à la limite de leur spécification pour répondre aux besoins du marché. Cette réalité augmente considérablement les risques de défaillance des composantes de la turbine. Estimer le niveau de dommage, l’usure et l’espérance de vie résiduelle des turbines devient donc un aspect essentiel à obtenir. C’est pourquoi une entreprise comme Andritz Hydro Ltée compile depuis plusieurs années des données sur le comportement dynamique et statique de ses turbines hydroélectriques. Ces données procurent une source utile d’informations permettant d’étudier le comportement réel d’une turbine. L’un des désavantages avec l’acquisition de données, c’est que celles-ci sont recueillies sur une courte période de temps car l’instrumentation est confrontée à des conditions extrêmes et uniquement à quelques localisations (de l’ordre de 3 à 4 positions par aube).

Strategy to Become a Zero Waste Community at Varsity Courts Student Family Housing at the University of Calgary.

This capstone project seeks to develop intervention strategies to help Varsity Courts Student Family Housing (VCSFH) become a zero-waste community. Thus, this project aims to contribute to achieving the University of Calgary zero-waste goals. Nature’s Ride can use the intervention strategies as workshops that can be taught in schools. Nature’s Ride can explore the possibility of delivering workshops to a broader public as some workshops will be designed for an older audience.

The potential to co-process biogenic feedstocks in commercial oil refineries

To decarbonise, the participation of the oil industry is key. Rather than process crude oils, refineries are able to co-process biogenic feedstocks alongside their fossil fuel to reduce the carbon intensities of the fuels they produced. Our project will evaluate what’s the impact of adding these biogenic feedstocks to the existing refining units by long term operations and what we can expect from the future more challenging biocrudes when they are available. The result of the work can be used by the refinery to further improve their process. The success of the co-processing would also motivate other refineries in Canada or other part of the world to start to co-process and reduce their environmental impacts.

Oral History Interviews to Preserve Canadian Engineering Achievements

The oral history interviews will preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, electrical, geotechnical, mechanical, and dam engineering fields. As much as possible, they will represent a broad diversity of cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, and sexes. Their oral histories will beneficially inform members of the engineering community and has the potential to guide and inspire younger Engineers-in-Training to have more productive and rewarding careers. The information will also assist individuals researching historical aspects of Canadian engineering achievements.

Development of an Interoperable Microgrid Control Unit

The proposed project involves the development of a microgrid energy management system (or microgrid control unit – MCU) to synchronize the actions of devices such as batteries, solar panels, and other generators to achieve increased energy savings. The MCU will allow all devices to interact and exchange information seamlessly, in a “plug and play” fashion. As part of the project, a control strategy will also be developed that will maximize energy savings and financial incentives by defining an optimal schedule for the microgrid devices The partner organization, TROES Corp, is an Ontario-based battery manufacturer and is exploring new markets and services to deploy their batteries. TROES will benefit from this project because it will allow them to provide an automated, turn-key solution to a variety of microgrids that are interesting in harnessing the ability of microgrids to provide an increase in energy savings and resiliency. This will result in new revenue streams and an opportunity to grow their business. The interns will benefit from the technical, managerial, and business administration experience that the TROES staff has to offer, and will learn critical technical and project management skills that will help secure leadership positions in their academic and/or industrial careers.

Modélisation du contrôle du mouvement des membres supérieurs à l’aide de réseaux de neurones et modèles biomécaniques précis

Le but de ce projet est de développer des modèles précis du mouvement des membres supérieurs en utilisant des modèles précis de la biomécanique des membres supérieurs et des algorithmes de machine learning. Ces modèles seront utilisés afin de mettre en place des protocoles expérimentaux permettant de mieux comprendre la manière avec laquelle le système nerveux contrôle ces mouvements. Ce projet sera constitué d’une première partie qui consistera à mettre en place et à évaluer les modèles suivie d’une seconde partie qui consistera à tester ses hypothèses au cours d’expériences in vivo.
