Assistive Technology (AT) allows children with Specific Learning Disabilities (LDs) to adequately access school curriculum. There is a paucity of literature addressing perception of use and training for teachers to support use. Studies suggest that children with AT like their devices and find them useful. The proposed study will examine the ages of children provided […]

This study examines the effect of human footprint and habitat characteristics on aquatic invertebrate abundance and distribution among wetlands across the province of Alberta. This study will contribute to ABMI’s work which aims to monitor species and their habitats to support decision-making about the protection and restoration of provincial biodiversity. More specifically, the research will: […]

This research aims at improving the accuracy of a 3D-vision tracking system. The physical set-up consists of a tool to be tracked, such as a drill, with one or more planar patterns attached to it and a set of cameras. This set consists of one to four camera clusters, where each cluster has one or […]

The aim of The Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) is to help combat the spread of HIV by supporting, conducting, and sharing the best research possible. This project will involve a novel analysis incorporating focus groups with front-line service providers and key informants to help determine the factors that most influence the perception of HIV […]

Use of aluminum alloys in the automotive industry comes with huge manufacturing challenges such as instability of spot welding processes. To overcome this challenge, frequent selective quality tests are performed in industry usually by destructive means, which are labour intensive and costly due to its nature. Non-destructive testing (NDT) of aluminum spot welds can decrease […]

Capturing the real human motions on the assembly plant floor is the key point for developing accurate virtual simulations. The real human motions of specific workstation operations at Ford Oakville Assembly Plant by using wearable inertial sensors will be collected. After data collection, virtual simulations will be performed for all the recorded operation tasks. Based […]

New species may arise when related animal populations diverge in their plumage and song mating signals and no longer respond to the signals of other populations. In many tropical birds, species limits are unclear because of a lack of studies on plumage, song, morphological, and genetic variation among closely-related populations. Even fewer studies investigate whether […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process family which is widely used for deposition of thin protective layers of novel alloy materials on components operating in severe conditions, and also for fabrication and repair of complex 3D parts. The scope of this research is to establish a process planning framework for metal based bead deposition processes […]

Due to the increase in class sizes, many Canadian teachers and parents have been concerned about the loss of individualized lessons to the average Canadian student. Chinese schools however, have been dealing with large volumes of students for a longer period of time. In investigating the methodologies of the average Chinese teacher within their classroom, […]

This research project is aiming to find out whether or not China’s culture has an impact upon its standardized testing and examination system in comparison it the Canadian counterpart, EQAO. The research will be conducted through first hand observation in local Chinese schools which will provide evidence to the research questions provided. The findings will […]

This research project will explore how Chinese culture utilizes dramatic elements in various content/subject areas and how these theatric/artistic components compare with Canadian school curriculum standards. In Canada, students are required to obtain a minimum number of arts credits for successful completion of school requirements. This research will investigate how theatre is used in the […]

This research will aim to answer the question, “How is classroom management imple-mented in Chinese elementary schools?” Through observations, the specific areas I will be looking at is the following: how do the students in China react to classroom man-agement strategies in their classroom; how effective are the strategies being used in classrooms in China; […]
