Enhancing Business Operations Reporting System

Leveraging Internship to Address Critical Challenges in Software Development
Project 1: Enhancing Business Operations Reporting System
Our software development agency is facing significant challenges in managing fixed cost and time and materials projects. The success of these projects is contingent on staying within the allocated time and ensuring employees are actively engaged in billable projects. Although we currently employ systems to track time spent on projects and resource allocation, they fall short in providing insightful information to identify potential issues. We need a comprehensive reporting system that amalgamates data from these systems and incorporates additional information to offer a holistic view of business operations.
The selected intern will play a crucial role in developing a reporting system that not only consolidates information from existing systems but also incorporates data that neither of them currently captures. This system will enable us to proactively identify when a project is likely to go over budget or requires intervention. It will also help us assess the utilization of team members and determine when hiring additional staff is necessary. The goal is to have an intuitive and easy-to-read reporting system that provides actionable insights into the current state of our business operations.
By addressing these challenges, the intern’s contribution will significantly impact our ability to manage projects efficiently, control costs, and make informed decisions that foster sustainable growth.

Improving Shelter Experience for Indigenous Women

The current project aims to look at Indigenous women’s experiences seeking help for intimate partner violence (IPV) in crisis and second-stage women’s shelters. Resolve’s previous study demonstrates that rural women, including rural Indigenous women, experience a lack and a shortage of IPV-related services (Kardashevskaya et al., 2022). In addition, services may not be culturally safe to meet the needs of Indigenous women seeking help (Giesbrecht et al., 2022; Jackson et al., 2015; Misra et al., 2022). In this project, we aim to explore the experience of Indigenous women seeking help in women’s shelters. As part of looking at Indigenous women’s experiences, we also aim to explore Indigenous and non-Indigenous service providers experiences helping and supporting Indigenous women access Indigenous and non-Indigenous-led women’s shelters. The research findings can inform policymaking about women’s shelters and help inform women’s shelters about how to implement a culturally safe service.

Recognition of cognitive states during simulated human-vehicle interaction from EEG signals.

The project will investigate how common distractions, such as cell phone use, impact drivers’ ability to stay attentive and respond appropriately on the road. Using electroencephalography (or EEG) to monitor brain activity, we will look for patterns indicating attention or fatigue during simulated human-vehicle interaction, and classification algorithms will also be used to recognize these cognitive states. The findings will be crucial in creating more effective driver assistance systems and improving road safety. This inter-institutional collaboration will promote an exchange of knowledge and advanced techniques among researchers. On one hand, expertise in the acquisition and analysis of EEG signals from Tecnológico de Monterrey will be shared. On the other hand, access to specialized resources and knowledge in computational sciences from UBCO will be facilitated.

Application of machine learning for modelling water quality in distribution systems

Delivery of safe drinking water is an essential public service, and distribution systems are a critical control point for the protection of public health. Distribution systems encounter issues such as aging infrastructure leading to leaks and breaks, pressure management problems, and maintaining water quality during transit to consumers. These problems collectively impact the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of water supply, necessitating continuous advancements in technology, infrastructure investment, and regulatory frameworks to ensure reliable and clean water access. This project is a collaboration between UBCO, KWR, and TUDelft that aims to improve water system management through the development of a digital twin and use of data-driven approaches. Furthermore, the project will investigate the ability to predict and model biofilm growth and conditions within the distribution system. The proposed project contributes to furthering the understanding of potential water quality and maintenance issues that may impact consumers. The research objectives of the participating research groups have significant overlap. However, there are distinct and complementary expertise and approaches to water system modelling.

The Functional Impairment Rating Scale (FIRS): A novel performance-based measure of ADLs

This research project centers on developing the Functional Impairment Rating Scale (FIRS), a new tool to better assess how people with neurological and mental health disorders can complete everyday tasks. Traditional assessment methods often rely on patients’ descriptions of their abilities or clinicians observations, which can miss important details. The FIRS aims to address this by offering a more precise, action-based assessment that combines observation and rating. It uses a detailed rating system to measure a person’s abilities in everyday tasks and to understand the specific challenges they face. The process involves thorough testing and refinement to ensure the tool’s reliability. The end goal is to improve how health professionals diagnose conditions, plan out treatments, and provide care that fully meets patients’ needs. For the partner organization, this tool will be invaluable in offering a clearer understanding of their patients, leading to better, more personalized care.

Études des mécanismes et des stratégies pour favoriser le développement de la propriété intellectuelle durable

Cette étude vise à analyser les stratégies de propriété intellectuelle durable adoptées par les startups œuvrant dans le domaine des technologies propres au Canada. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels elles sont confrontées ainsi que les solutions qu’elles mettent en place. Pour ce faire, nous comparerons ces stratégies aux mécanismes gouvernementaux existants, tels que la demande accélérée pour les brevets verts, ainsi qu’aux autres incitatifs comme les subventions. Cette analyse permettra de fournir un aperçu des pratiques innovantes en matière de propriété intellectuelle dans le secteur des technologies propres et de déterminer dans quelle mesure les politiques gouvernementales soutiennent ces initiatives.

Continued Development of a Mobile Application

Ksalsuti creates materials and programming to improve the social and emotional wellness of children and youth. Ksalsuti has published its first three books from the Turtle Island Series in three languages. Each book contains culturally appropriate material that promotes wellness in children. Ksalsuti is experiencing growth and also requires additional capacity. Ksalsuti hired an intern in the spring of 2023 to create a mobile application to extend the exposure of its newly published books. A second intern in the fall and winter semesters 2023-24 further improved its functionality, design, and user interface. The app would greatly benefit from another co-op student who can further implement a kid-friendly interface as the project evolves, fully implement the app into the app store and Google Play store, and expand the gamification of the app.

Un ChatBot pour le centre d’études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson (CEAAC)

Le Centre d’études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson (CEAAC) a pour mission de rassembler et de préserver le patrimoine documentaire acadien, tout en facilitant son accès à la communauté universitaire, aux chercheurs et au grand public. Cependant, le CEAAC rencontre des défis tels que la centralisation des services, les obstacles liés à la littératie et à l’âge, ainsi que la complexité des requêtes et l’accès limité au public. Notre projet de création de ChatAcadien explore des solutions en introduisant un outil nommé ChatAcadien pour rendre les archives acadiennes plus accessibles, faciliter la consultation des archivistes et permettre aux utilisateurs d’effectuer des recherches autonomes à distance. En combinant ces aspects, le projet vise à rendre les archives acadiennes plus accessibles, tout en préservant et en promouvant la richesse de la culture et de l’histoire acadiennes.
