In the Arctic, environmental variability is currently increasing. Variability in sea ice dynamics, such as the timing of ice-off and concentration of sea ice, these in turn affect distributions and abundance of fish and invertebrate species. Thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia), an Arctic-breeding seabird, are expected to be greatly affected by changes in sea ice dynamics, […]

A decrease in ice cover in the Arctic ocean is allowing for increases in vessel traffic and noise in this previously undisturbed environment. The remoteness and reduction of species richness poses a challenge when trying to monitor Arctic ocean wildlife, but recent technological advances in animal tagging have supplied further opportunities for surveillance of Arctic […]

This study will explore how the centralization of social services and those who use them impact the environment of Downtown Windsor. The goal of the project is to understand how the location of social services effects the movement of people who are using these services.

Soot particles are carbonaceous aggregates which are produced as the result of incomplete combustion. They are mainly added to the atmosphere from coal power plants, chemical factories and motor vehicles and they account for approximately 10 to 15% of the total atmospheric aerosol mass. These particles are known to have a detrimental effect on both […]

Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a system-level standard that is used worldwide by the automotive companies and their suppliers to develop the standardized software development framework for automobiles [1]. The basic software of AUTOSAR should be configured to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The information to configure the basic software is given in […]

To develop parts from an initial design to the final product is a very tedious process in the mold manufacturing industry. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) plays a major role in the mold manufacturing industry to create products in a fast and efficient manner. The goal of this project is to automate the CAD to CNC […]

My research project is a component of the Reciprocal Learning Program and SSHRC Partnership Grant project run by Dr. Shijing Xu and Dr. Michael Connelly respectfully. I will actively participate in and observe how music students study the historical, musical, and practical applications of vocal pedagogy in Chinese music classrooms. I would also like to […]

I will look at the interactions between Canadian elementary students as well as Chinese elementary students and their respective teacher. Through observation and casual conversations I will record how the relationships affect the learning of of students and what kind of effects this produces outside of the classroom setting. This information will be compared with […]

The project aims to show the tenuous relationship and importance between the concepts of motivation, creativity and innovation for a company in modern times where innovation is a requirement of the market. In addition, it proposes to demonstrate concretely how companies and their employees handle these factors to improve their productivity, taking real cases of […]

This research program aims to create a case study to teach classes of business administration course. Initially an in-depth analysis of the literature on case study development will be done to serve as the basis for building the cases. We will then analyze the existing data from interviews conducted by supervisors of this project with […]

This project will examine the prevalence and context of Outdoor Education in China, and compare it to the established field of outdoor education in Canada. In addition, this research will examine the attitudes informing the interaction of Chinese schools with nature, and their natural environment and determining the cross-curricular and cross-cultural connections. Finally, these findings […]

During my research, I want to evaluate the Chinese high school mathematics system. Looking at the mathematics curriculum in China and comparing it to Canada. Doing this will help my research connect the two curriculum to see what works and what is different. While doing this assessment, I want to also look at the teaching […]
