Oil is used in aircraft engine applications to lubricate and carry the associated parasitic heat generated away from the moving components. Inefficient lubrication can cause an increase of heat transferred to the metal components by friction while too much oil can cause an increase of the heat generation by churning. The churning of oil leads […]

Canada is susceptible to different hazards associated with natural disasters. On one hand, the East Coast is exposed to hurricanes and its effects, and on the other hand, the West Coast is threatned by earthquakes and its chain consequences such as tsunamis. In such circumstances, it is critical to arrange delivery of emergency supplies to […]

L’industrie minière présente un secteur économique très important au Canada, cependant, les différentes opérations dans la mine entrainent des impacts d’une ampleur importante sur l’environnement. Parmi les étapes de l’activité minière est le sautage en utilisant des dynamites pour excaver et extraire le minerai du gisement. Certains ne réagissent pas complétement et libèrent des éléments […]

The gearbox is a classical mechanical unit and has been widely used in modern power transmission systems. Fault detection and severity assessment of gearboxes prior to their failure can prevent the sudden failure of gearboxes, as well as enable condition-based maintenance and thus reduce maintenance costs. However, the fault detection and severity assessment are challenging […]

A hockey helmet should be capable of protecting the user over the helmet’s intended life span. There is currently little evidence quantifying the changes in the impact attenuation performance of field-used hockey helmets over time. This study will collect a large sample of field-used hockey helmets from the hockey community for impact testing. The sample […]

La production de l’énergie électrique nécessite des actuateurs mécaniques de grande puissance. Au Canada, la puissance mécanique provient principalement des turbines hydrauliques activées par les rivières. Cependant, dans plusieurs pays, elle provient des turbines thermiques qui utilisent de la vapeur générée par des centrales à combustibles fossiles ou nucléaires. En Amérique du Nord, plusieurs de […]

This project will be with Vena Medical that focused on creating a forward viewing imaging microcatheter to provide a real-time navigational perspective for interventional physicians. The Vena Microcatheter will make interventional procedures faster, easier, and safer for both patients and physicians. This project will investigate the novel polymer optical fiber with high flexibility and high-quality […]

Le projet porte sur la croissance in-situ de germanium et de GaAs sur membranes de carbones (graphene). Ces croissances seront réalisées dans le microscope électronique en transmission « Nanomax ». Le but du travail est d’étudier la germination initiale de ces deux semi-conducteurs sur membrane de graphene. Il s’agira, précisément, d’étudier les processus de germination/ […]

This internship project proposes to develop a new approach to model electromagnetic nonlinear thin regions, such as those encountered in various electrical devices and, for example, constituted by superconducting materials. In fact, it seeks to reduce the computational costs in simulations of devices made of thin layers and consequently allowing more realistic simulations, which is […]

This project will address the production test needs of a silicon-based high-speed photonic transceiver solution for metro-reach terabit optical modems. For this project, the partnership will be between Ciena, DA Integrated (test development contractor) and Prof. Gordon W. Roberts from McGill University (academic expert in DFT and mixed-signal design and test). The scope of this […]

The objective of this research is to design and implement a controller based on a Digital Signal Controller (DSC) for the operation of the bi-directional DC-DC converter developed by Alpha Technologies Ltd. As a result of this work, the intern must provide the partner organization with the appropriate firmware to run the DSC and its […]

Wastewater can be damaging to the environment if left untreated. Microorganisms play important roles in removing harmful pollutants, such as organics and nutrients, within wastewater treatment plants. For instance, certain wastewater bioreactor designs promote the growth of specialized microbes that sequester phosphorus into their cells, which prevents harmful algal blooms in natural waters and enables […]
