Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) develops low cost geophysical survey solutions to the natural resources sector. They are investing in the development of a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. The general objective of this internship is to develop a rotary-wing UAS for aeromagnetic surveying. Specific objectives are to: assemble […]

Development of a field-ready and commercially useful fuselage and cargo bay for a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle, including analysis of use of composite materials and resulting performance implications.

A Way Home Ottawa (AWHO) is a community-based initiative to end and prevent youth homelessness in the Ottawa region. In 2016 Carleton researchers Justin Langille and Dr. Kennelly worked with AWHO to ask youth and adult service providers what improvements need to be made to the existing system to ensure youth always have access to […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

This project aims to produce a proof-of-concept of a Diamond DA20 aircraft simulator to determine the feasibility of producing the simulator at a low cost while meeting Transport Canada requirements for a minimum of Level 5 Flight Training Device certification. Reducing cost without sacrificing fidelity of the flight simulator comes with many technical challenges which […]

Using the same Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) voluntary codes (“’rules”), different junior mineral exploration companies obtain different CSR outcomes, i.e. the rules do not make the game. The overall study aims to find out how the game is played ‘on the ground’. This internship covers part of the exploratory phase of the project that aims […]

The uGPS Rapid Mapper™ is a laser system mounted on a mining vehicle which acquires 3D images of tunnels in underground mines. Currently, engineers use the images for mine design and operations. This research project will create two new applications for the images acquired by the system: mapping of the geology of the tunnel walls […]

Reliable communication over wireless channels has been an active research area for decades. By employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems increase the capacity of a wireless channel, bringing significant gain over single-input single-output (SISO) systems. One of the main tools to achieve the improved capacity are error correction codes. During the […]

Ultrasound technology is widely used in medical diagnosis area. Its non-invasive, high resolution, no side effects and other features make it popular. The ultrasound sensor is the critical component and its performance decides the signal quality. A good sensor can stand the environment noise and supply high signal noise ratio (SNR) signal to the processors […]

The proposed internship project deals with the compilation and preparation of relevant scientific content for the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation, which is currently developing an innovative “Online Sustainable Conservation Assistance Resource.” Also known as OSCAR, this tool is aimed at becoming an “interactive resource that establishes a clear […]

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans with more than 214 million cases worldwide. The most dangerous (and most common) form of malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Understanding the fundamental biological mechanisms of this parasite is crucial for developing therapies to combat the humanitarian crisis caused by the spread of this disease. In […]

Over the past 10 years, the commercial aircraft market has seen almost a tripling in the number of players while business aircraft manufacturers around the world have filled or narrowed segment gaps with clean sheet or major derivative products. In this new reality, product differentiation is becoming extremely challenging and gaining a distinct advantage in […]
