The superplastic metal blow forming process involves using air pressure to force a metal sheet at very high temperatures into the shape of a die for the purpose of manufacturing a component part. It has been shown that by subjecting the forming pressure to small pulsations within a range of amplitude and frequency, results in […]

The objectives of this Globalink research project are to study in China and compare it to that of Canada, more specifically the philosophy behind teachers, classrooms, and schools. One sub- objective includes comparing the difference between China and Canada’s teaching philosophies. For example, what specifically do these countries do differently in the grades 4 – […]

This proposed project aims to inquire into Canadian novice teachers’ induction by exploring the long-term impact of international intercultural learning experiences they had during their pre-service teacher education. More specifically, my study expects to answer the three key questions: 1) What are the professional experiences of the Canadian participants in the Reciprocal Learning Program as […]

Genomic data is a rich source of knowledge that can reveal important details about a person and their ancestry. However, accessing and sharing genetic datasets is essential for advancing research and enhancing healthcare outcomes. Allowing sharing, accessing, and analyzing the genomic data while preserving users’ privacy is challenging. Differential privacy (DP) is a promising lightweight […]

Windsor, Ontario is recognized for its prowess in advanced manufacturing and automation and this project with PROTO Manufacturing Ltd. aims to draw from the innovative atmosphere of our region. PROTO is in the midst of developing a state-of-the-art robotic platform aimed at revolutionizing molecular structure determination—a vital component in diverse domains such as drug discovery […]

This project will compare and contrast how students in grades 4-6 learn art in Canada and China. This study explores how students in Canada and China learn art, how it’s taught and tested, and how their cultural backgrounds affect what they learn. How people in both countries think about art will also be explored. We […]

This project will explore the differences in food education between China and Canada. The intern will research how food-related education is implemented in Chinese public middle schools. This may appear in formal learning (eg home economics or nutrition class), or informal learning (eg, through government subsidized school lunch programming, or opportunities outside of school for […]

For my proposed research, I will primarily make participant observations in Chinese schools and classrooms to study the motivation factors that influence young English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in China, focusing on both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and their impact on language learning outcomes. Two specific motivation strategies I am planning to focus […]

Based on various research papers, present methods of Climate Change Education have been noted to instill feelings of eco-anxiety ultimately leading to avoidance of the topic. For students to be inspired to take meaningful action for a sustainable future, hopeful education is needed. Current methods of Climate Change Education will be observed in Canada and […]

Our project will be reviewing and comparing the differences in curriculum for kindergarten to grade 6 between Canada and China. We will conduct a comparative analysis of curricula, noting the variation in the topics, depth and span of the content. We will be observing how the different curriculum will be implemented in a classroom by […]

The proposed research project seeks to define the environmental advantages and cost challenges associated with the design of two types of alternative fuel vehicles; battery electric and bi-fuel CNG + gasoline, with respect to a changing American market. These alternative fuel vehicles will be compared to traditional internal combustion vehicles and assessed based on the […]

Canada’s fishing and hydropower industries struggle to reduce the harming of fish not used by either industry, known as bycatch or incidental take, and are under increasing regulation to limit these impacts. Working with industrial partners the interns will test acoustic technologies to drive unwanted fish away from capture areas while preserving the desired catch […]
