In the airline industry, crew planning is an essential task that every airline will face. Flight crew expenses constitute the second largest operating cost (Kohl and Karisch. 2004), second only to the rising cost of fuel. Crew planning refers to the assignment of flight segments to pilots and flight attendants so that they start and […]

Les verres d’oxydes occupent présentement une place considérable dans tous les secteurs industriels. L’intérêt majeur de ces verres réside dans leur large éventail de propriétés grâce à la possibilité de créer des objets personnalisés pour répondre aux demandes d’une application particulière. De ce fait, l’innovation est essentielle pour découvrir des nouveaux verres qui peuvent être […]

This project focuses on developing a ready-to-market Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Data Collection & Analysis System to improve the accuracy and efficiency of NDT assessment. By automating data collection and analysis, the system will reduce assessment costs by over 50%, making inspections faster and more reliable as well as providing asset maintenance advice and lifespan prediction. […]

Le bassin versant de la rivière Cedeño au Mexique est un bassin d’importance pour la région de Veracruz. Ce bassin est cependant caractérisé par des problématiques liées à la gestion de l’eau ainsi qu’à la qualité de l’eau. Ces problèmes influencent non seulement l’alimentation en eau de la ville de Naolinco mais aussi plusieurs producteurs […]

In recent years, machining with robots has become a trend in the manufacturing industry. The concept offers an economical solution for medium to low accuracy machining applications. However, due to the complexity of the robot kinematics, planning for these paths is challenging. Jabez Technologies has developed a semi-graphical approach that can program large robot-paths. This […]

When engineers verify software products they need at the same time some guidance as to verification objectives and an idea of when it is reasonable to stop the verification activity. One such guidance comes under the form of criteria which are predominantly functional (typically, one exercises the software in ways it is expected to be […]

The John McGivney Children’s Centre (JMCC) provides rehabilitation and support services to children and youth with disabilities in Windsor-Essex. One of its key services is Seating and Mobility, which ensures that children have customized equipment—such as wheelchairs and adaptive seating—that helps them participate in daily life safely and comfortably. This project proposes placing a student […]

The project aims to research the feasibility of designing and building a drone from parts supplied in Canada. The first objective is to build a prototype of a made-in-Canada drone that showcases current technology and incorporates the highest proportion possible of parts from Canada. The second objective is to design a manufacturing process that can […]

Bikeshare systems around the world are increasingly incorporating electric bikes to expand their coverage and increase ridership. This project aims to apply descriptive and prescriptive analytics to support key operational and strategic decisions in bikeshare electrification. First, we will perform empirical analysis to quantify the spatially heterogeneous impact of electric bike availability on bikeshare ridership. […]

Heavy-lift drones offer promising solutions for challenges in wildfire response, construction, and logistics, thanks to their rapid deployment and lower environmental impact. As Pulshn focuses on developing drones capable of transporting heavy payloads, this research aims to support the optimization of drone design for enhanced performance and reliability. Specifically, the study will explore the aerodynamic […]

The proposed international research collaboration project aims to develop accurate and efficient image processing algorithms for advanced imaging instrumentation technologies. The overarching goal of the project is towards fully automated microscopy technologies with many strategically important applications for both DGIST (Korea) and McMaster (Canada) such as point-of-care diagnosis in remote communities and drug discovery. The […]
