Le secteur agricole génère de nombreux types de plastiques résiduels selon leurs utilisations. Au Québec, un total d’environ 11 000 tonnes de plastiques agricoles sont générés chaque année, mais environ 50% se retrouve au Centre-du-Québec et ses régions voisines. L’objectif principal de ce projet est de développer des applications pour réutiliser les plastiques agricoles après […]

This project is developing an innovative tool that accelerates the design process of lab-on-a-chip devices, which are crucial for the analysis of tiny liquid samples to detect the presence of pathogens or chemical substances, a process known as biosensing. The tool employs a sophisticated algorithm that leverages data from previous designs to optimize and suggest […]

This research project is centered around enhancing the delivery process of ice stored in tanks, particularly focusing on ice slurry, a mixture of small ice crystals suspended in a liquid phase. Typically, these slurries are created from solutions like saltwater (NaCl). The primary objective is to optimize the methods for extracting the stored ice from […]

LoopX plans to have their intern develop a virtual testing platform in a simulated software program, where the robots mining vehicles with the autonomous driving algorithms that are meant to drive in mines can be put through their paces. These robot mining vehicles are expected to handle complex mining-specific situations, but mines are tricky places […]

This research project aims to develop advanced robots and devices to help people with disabilities, like those with cerebral palsy or who have had strokes, move and live more independently. As people get older and the need for such assistive technology grows, it’s crucial to make sure these devices can accurately understand and predict human […]

The University of Saskatchewan (Dr. S. Achenbach), intern Danyil Dmytriiev, and the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University in Ukraine (Dr. Mykhailo Derhachov)/Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, engage in a MITACS-funded research project to innovate microfabrication processes for diffractive X-ray optics. Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs) are miniaturized focusing and beam shaping elements with nanometer […]

The proposed project for carbon footprint analysis of concrete block will benefit the community. Demand on concrete blocks is increasing dramatically and such massive production of these blocks contributes to an estimated 5% of Carbon emission of total carbon present in atmosphere. Thus, this analysis will help understanding and subsequently reducing carbon footprint of concrete […]

En 2015, la NASA, Boeing et Pratt & Whitney ont entrepris des études expérimentales et numériques pour calculer les performances d’un fuselage intégré hybride (HWB), désigné N2A-EXTE 0009H1, pour tous les régimes de vol, dont celles en transsonique. Le but de ces études était de vérifier un concept d’intégration moteur avec cette cellule d’avion non-conventionnelle. […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui permettra à Thomas & Betts d’optimiser l’emplacement des produits dans deux zones à taux de roulement élevé de son centre de distribution de Bromont. L’outil permettra de minimiser les temps de prélèvement des vagues sur une période donnée ou encore d’optimiser […]

To operate, the surfaces inside an aircraft engine must withstand several conditions, such as temperature and pressure, which will cause the components to wear over time. To prevent wear and reduce maintenance costs, the manufacturer of such engines usually uses several different techniques to enhance the surface’s resistance. However, some of these techniques, such as […]

Fondée en 2020, Sumeco Solutions Inc est une entreprise innovante basée à Montréal, dédiée à la lutte contre la crise environnementale au Québec à travers des solutions écologiques. Elle a lancé le Projet Ciga, visant à collecter et transformer les mégots de cigarettes en énergie renouvable. En collaboration avec APIGI Inc, dirigée par Gérard Gosselin, […]

This project focuses on creating interdisciplinary educational program within the energy field. The goal is to address the challenge of engineers struggling to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds – both within and outside of engineering. By integrating energy principles with business, political, and environmental considerations, this project aims to equip future engineers with […]
