Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

Bridge abutments are commonly built with a construction technology called Mechanically Stabilized Earth that provides structural soundness. The core element is a composite material that alternates layers of backfill soil with layers of galvanized steel reinforcements. Although the structural design has been well developed since its introduction in the construction practices, the degradation of the […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry. Its numerous advantages allow for the design of complex shapes which have not been possible in the past, using conventional manufacturing method. The parts could be manufactured on demand, with reduce cost and lead time. Selective Laser Melting is the common method to […]

Traditionnellement, les dispositifs employés pour chauffer individuellement à l’électricité les pièces sont conçus à base de métal, lamelles ou spirales, où l’ont fait circuler un courant afin de les chauffer. Pour assurer un chauffage adéquat au plus fort de l’hiver nord-américain, les plinthes chauffantes doivent avoir un volume minimal de métal, ce qui résulte en […]

City of Toronto’s Digital Infrastructure Strategic Framework (DISF) has a vision of “A Digital Connected Community” where digital infrastructure is increasingly used to deliver services, perform data-driven asset management, help manage public resources efficiently, encourage civic engagement, and inform decision-making. A critical component of the DISF is the ability to share data across services and […]

This project aims at upgrading and automating some of the existing methods used at Myant to manufacture, assemble, and test smart textiles. The candidate will use their engineering knowledge to assess the needs and opportunities for improvements, to design theoretical solutions, to prototype and test these solutions, and finally to prepare an industry-grade version of […]

State-of-the art computational methods will be harnessed to design strainers used for collecting and treating industrial and municipal wastewaters. Such devices play a vital role in conserving a vital and ever increasingly scarce natural resource. This research is a new initiative that will benefit societies throughout the world who depend on efficient and effective capture […]

The global demand for clean energy and energy security is increasing, in the context of extreme weather events and global unrest. Distributed and intermittent energy sources (e.g., solar, wind) can provide much needed renewable generation but complex power conversion and storage systems are required to transform raw unregulated power into quality power needed to supply […]

Ce stage s’inscrit dans un projet qui a pour objectif de réduire le coût de fabrication des cellules solaires à très haute efficacité (1). Dans ce cadre, le développement de cellules solaires détachables, et le développement d’un procédé de passivation s’impose. L’objectif de ce stage est dans un premier temps d’étudier l’impact de l’amincissement des […]

The extensive use of fossil fuels is responsible for emitting the main culprit of climate change — carbon dioxide (CO2). As electricity generated from renewables becomes more accessible, CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals using electricity is being actively explored as an economically viable solution for mitigating climate change. Nitrogen-containing fertilizers support almost half of the […]

In the proposed project, the intern will develop circuits through simulation for broadband impedance matching for high-frequency surface-wave radar antennas transmitting at HF frequencies. This will allow the range resolution of transmitting antennas to be improved so that targets, as well as ocean surface wave and current parameters, may be respectively better detected and estimated. […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source contribute to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a product of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emissions. One of the commercially available electric heaters is […]
