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; […]

This research will look at the main differences between Chinese and Canadian music education through observing Chinese music classes. Seeing how Chinese music classes are taught will allow me to pinpoint the main differences in music is education within these two countries. I want to see the main differences of musical instruments that are taught […]

The purpose of this research is to understand that the developmental framework for integrating Visual Arts and Technology into literacy in a different culture.

In this proposed study I will observe the informal life lessons taught by teachers and student behaviors in Chinese and Canadian classrooms. I expect to find evidence that supports the idea that these lessons have an equal or greater impact on the student’s overall academic and social development. These less obvious lessons will revolve around […]

The purpose of this research is to discover new ways to fight the generally unhealthy, and inactive lifestyles that is becoming more widespread among today’s young people. This research will seek to observe the physical education practices of another culture, specifically the practices of a high school level physical education program in Chongqing, China, and […]
