Business Development Representative Intern

At the outset of the pandemic, we increased our liquidity position by reducing mortgage originations. We did this by halting marketing/outreach and reducing our risk tolerance. We are now well-positioned with capital and need to grow mortgage originations. To do so, we would like the co-op students to develop and execute our sales strategy. The business development team is responsible for growing relationships within the mortgage broker community across Canada with the objective of having these brokers submit mortgage deals.

This will be achieved through:
• Executing outbound phone calls/fielding inbound phone calls to educate broker partners on Neighbourhood’s mortgage products
• Collaborating with the team to discuss results from the broker discussions to identify market opportunities
• Data analysis of broker touch-points to assist with lead scoring

Valorisation de déchets plastiques dans le bitume

Le bitume est un composé essentiel des enrobés bitumineux qui sont utilisés pour la construction de chaussées. Il s’agit d’un produit issu de la distillation du pétrole brut et qui n’est donc pas renouvelable. Il est important de trouver des alternatives à l’utilisation du bitume afin de rendre l’industrie des chaussées plus écoresponsable. Au Québec, certains déchets plastiques (sacs plastiques, films alimentaires…) n’ont pas de filière de recyclage à l’heure actuelle. En conséquence, leur stockage pose problème et ils sont soit enfouis soit incinérés. L’objectif de ce projet est d’évaluer la possibilité de revaloriser ces déchets plastiques en les incorporant dans du bitume. Cela permettrait de répondre à la double problématique de réduire la quantité de bitume utilisé dans la construction de chaussée et de mettre en place une filière de recyclage de ces déchets plastiques. Pour atteindre l’objectif, des essais de laboratoire au niveau de la méthodologie d’addition du plastique recyclé dans le bitume est des essais de caractérisation des bitumes modifiés seront effectués.

Hybrid encryption and intrusion detection for an e-commerce database

The recent rapid growth of web-based applications and information systems has increased the risk exposure of databases and, thus, the security and protection of data from internal and external threats is more crucial than ever. Damage and misuse of data affect not only a single user or application, but may have disastrous consequences on an entire organization. The partner company’s database contains sensitive financial transactions information and customers can have direct and immediate online access to business information that pertains to them anywhere anytime. Therefore, the protection of the information database against malicious activity is critical. The proposed project aims at designing a multi-step database security system for an e-commerce application in which we will incorporate the latest advances in database security and machine learning research. While the first phase of the project aims at increasing the security of the database system, the second phase aims at the fast detection…
