C-CORE and Memorial University have teamed to supervised the development of a 3U CubeSat called MUNStar-1. The CubeSat is an earth observation satellite containing a scientific payload for the measurement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry (GNSS-R) signals. The satellite will measure a number of ocean parameters to help understand climate change impacts, particularly […]

This project aims to design, prototype, and characterize high-speed electronic circuit boards to enhance quantum photonic networking systems. In particular, it aims to meet the strict, emerging demands of quantum telecommunications with high-speed, low-jitter, low-phase noise electronics working at the performance limits of mass-producible electronics. Ki3 Photonics specializes in developing state-of-the-art systems for quantum networking, […]

The collaborative project among NSCAD University/ Dalhousie Engineering and the partner, Penalty Four, seeks to refine development of a polo mallet prototype that can become an alternative to the conventional wood head with cane shaft, used in the game throughout its history. The inherent issue with the wood mallet is a lack of durability and […]

This project will focus on the design and operation of a sustainable institutional building for vocational/professional training. This building, located at the CÉGEP de Victoriaville site, will apply sustainability principles and life cycle analysis as the cornerstone of its design. The intern will perform data analysis and carry out building performance simulations to provide additional […]

Dust and biomass debris have serious negative effects on the performance of material handling farm equipment, such as reduced efficiency, increased maintenance costs, and heightened fire hazards. However, there is a lack of understanding of dust and debris generation and dispersion within farm equipment. CNH Industrial is searching for innovative solution for dust and biomass […]

Demand for higher-capacity batteries has been rising exponentially from industries such as zero-emission vehicles, smart grids, unmanned aerial vehicles, and many others. However, current battery technology is limited by graphite anode materials, which have a low specific capacity. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of battery-grade graphites is criticized for the amount of GHG and environmental damage […]

Le projet de recherche sera réalisé sur le site de Muskrat Falls, le nouveau barrage électrique situé au Labrador. Ce projet rendra disponible, d’ici 2016, 450 000m3 de bois coupés en prévision de la construction du réservoir hydraulique. Le projet de recherche constitue à réaliser des études technico-économiques et environnementales (analyse du cycle de vie) […]

This research project aims to improve the safety and maintenance of bridges by using advanced technology and methods to predict how bridges will respond to stress due to temperature fluctuations over time. Several sensors are installed on different elements of the bridge to measure strain and temperature values every second. The data is then analyzed […]

La recherche vise à explorer des solutions pour augmenter la capacité et la résilience des infrastructures urbaines en eau face à la densification urbaine et aux changements climatiques. La densification urbaine, bien que bénéfique sur le plan environnemental, exerce une pression sur les infrastructures vieillissantes, augmentant la demande en eau potable, les rejets d’eaux usées […]

Magnetic confinement of the extremely hot plasma necessary to achieve controlled nuclear fusion has made tremendous progress in recent years towards the ultimate goal of operating as a commercially viable long-term source of energy that can greatly facilitate the decarbonization of our energy system. As part of this research effort a fusion reactor prototype is […]

The proposed research project aims to improve how information is managed for bridge construction and maintenance using advanced technology. The intern will create a system that combines Microsoft Power Apps, Power BI, and Autodesk Forge’s digital twin environment. This system will make it easier for engineers to input, store, and access important information related to […]

The proposed research project will focus on the development of novel techniques to improve the assessment of psychological functions. Current psychological tests are limited in their ability to provide quantitative information on an individual’s ability to move and interact with their environment. Many psychological tests are computer-based systems that have been developed to assess psychological […]
