This internship is intended to address the need for automation in the saw grinding process for the saw mill operations in Canada. The key issues involve the design of a robotic arm that can accurately load the saw blade to the grinding machine and deliver the finished saw on the output stacks blades to enhance […]

This project aims to develop an optimal method of integrating Photovoltaic plants into Microgrid with Diesel generators. It is expected to achieve high quality, high efficiency, and low cost of power generation by the introduction of renewable power source and its control system. Although existing researches have provided quite a lot of references for this […]

Le procédé de soudage occasionne une modification des propriétés des matériaux adjacents. Les ingénieurs de Vélan notent la présence d’indications à la ligne de fusion suite au soudage de certaines valves. Après inspection, ces indications provoquent quelques fois le rejet du produit, car celui-ci est jugé non conforme. Les ingénieurs de Velan soupçonnent que : […]

In the transition from fossil fuels to the new energy economy, hydrogen is forecasted to play a larger and larger role. The research question addressed by my project is focused on evaluating the economic, technical and environmental implications of producing hydrogen from municipal solid waste (mixed plastics, wood and cardboard waste) in Alberta. At a […]

Ce projet, réalisé en collaboration avec Polytechnique et Raymond Chabot Grant Thorton, consiste à accompagner le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montréal (CHUM) dans la conception et la mise en place d’une approche qualité/amélioration continue au sein de ses départements, et d’analyser plus en profondeur une étude de cas dans un département en particulier. Le projet […]

This internship will focus on investigating potential software applications for automated steel design that has a high potential for improving the cost-effectiveness of conventional and modular construction, as all input is parametrized to allow the consideration of a multitude of real-world factors simultaneously. As a steel design and analysis software developer, the partner organization is […]

Parkinson’s disease is most highly recognized by tremors of the hands that occur in those afflicted with the disease. Though the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease involving motor function begin with very slight tremors of the hands, they further develop into issues such as difficulty swallowing, severe postural problems and extremely limited mobility. In this proposal, […]

The intern will be learning the regulations and stipulations surrounding medical devices to help navigate new developments of the technology. The goal is to minimize the setbacks that are associated with medical device approval by working with the research and development team to ensure that the upgrades are viable. This will free up personnel currently […]

Despite substantial research efforts, the problems of spreading infectious diseases (such as COVID-19) through surface transmission and infections associated with medical devices persist. One promising solution is to apply a coating to the surface of concern that can provide effective surface disinfection. However, existing approaches typically provide only short-term disinfection effects (a few hours), contain […]

Energy efficiency for homes has been of tremendous interests in recent years as the overall energy consumption of households takes up a significant portion of the total energy consumption. Energy efficiency is key for homeowners to save. Therefore, the ability to clearly identify heat losses in a household is vital in the creation of unique […]

L’arrivée des technologies dans les processus de communication d’une entreprise bouleverse les paradigmes de gestion de l’information actuelle. Or, ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment les technologies de l’information (TI) ont le potentiel de transformer les méthodes de réalisation d’un projet de construction. L’adoption de nouvelle pratique à transformer bien des secteurs économiques en […]

We propose using the Cortisol hormone, secreted from the fishes during stressful events, to provide ongoing monitoring of fish welfare while in their habitats. Instrumented aquaculture pens will allow operators to continuously be aware of threats to fish health, including harmful blooms, predators, and/or poachers. As Canadian aquaculture capital investments are remote and offshore, a […]
