La modélisation des données du bâtiment (BIM) présente de nombreux avantages et est un outil nécessaire pour un virage de l’industrie vers le numérique. Son développement est encore faible dans le génie civil et le gouvernement a donc présenté une feuille de route avec des cibles à atteindre pour les donneurs d’ouvrages publics. Pour y […]

Recent environmental concerns and legislations over the use of lead are driving the microelectronics industry towards intensive search for lead free solder alloys in electronic packaging. Among many lead free solders, Sn-Cu-Ag system has been regarded as the most promising and attractive candidate alloy system for the conventional Sn-Pb solder alloys, owing to its wettability […]

The proposed research aims to develop an innovative control framework to deal with safety-critical systems in which the plant’s safety constraints must be fulfilled regardless of the possible presence of unpredictable disturbances and measurement noise. The technology developed by this project is expected to be beneficial in different application domains of current interest to Quebec, […]

Le dimensionnement des chaussées au Canada est actuellement effectué avec des méthodes empiriques. Ces méthodes limitent la possibilité d’utiliser de nouveaux matériaux et de nouvelles technologies qui permettraient de prolonger la durée de vie des chaussées tout en limitant leur impact négatif sur l’environnement. Il existe des méthodes de dimensionnement mécaniste-empirique, comme PavementME et des […]

Atmospheric corrosion, commonly known as weathering is among the leading causes of infrastructure degradation. The extent of atmospheric corrosion becomes more concerning when it triggers localized and non-linear metal loss rates. One such scenario is the localized corrosion at the flanged connections in piping, pipeline, and equipment for hydrocarbon industry and even utility sectors. As […]

Ce projet collaboratif vise à développer une ligne de production automatisée pour le moulage de pièces en matériaux composites pour l’industrie automobile. Le procédé de fabrication développé par la société sera doté d’un système de contrôle automatisé Industrie 4.0 ayant l’avantage d’une inter connectivité des équipements de fabrication, ce qui permettra un suivi en ligne […]

The state of drinking water systems and services in First Nation communities is a recognized challenge in Canada. While municipal water systems are regulated by provinces, there is no such parallel regulator for First Nation communities. For First Nations, there are multiple federal agencies that intersect with community decision-making through fragmented processes and guidelines which […]

A new collaboration between l’Institut de Recherche sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon (IRCELYON) and the Catalytic & Plasma Process Engineering Laboratory (CPPE) at McGill is being established. The project aims to utilize dual functional materials (DMFs) for (1) CO2 capture, and (2) subsequent CO2 hydrogenation to methane (CO2 methanation). We intend to couple […]

Frozen clay soils comprise a large portion of permafrost in Canada. Long-term records indicate ongoing global warming has resulted in the thawing of portions of the permafrost area, which leads to the extensive settlement of the ground surface and causing damage to infrastructures. Pipelines are buried below the ground to avoid failure because of the […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of employing cutting-edge solar technologies and design strategies in the retrofit of large commercial buildings, and application to a case study in Schefferville. The research consists of two main design 1) incorporating commonly existing PV panels into Rainscreen cladding, to act as the outer […]

Sound Antidote is developing medical drones with the help of systems engineering, business and research advisors. These systems require long-haul flight times, which will be the case for some of the expected drone flights. The project opportunity provided is intended to develop batteries that are reliable and provided high energy density for long-flight times without […]
