La recherche a pour but d’observer comment l’agilité se traduit dans un contexte communicationnel. Les méthodes agiles sont souvent présentes dans le domaine des technologies de l’information (TI) avec des équipes de développeurs. Toutefois, plusieurs recherches scientifiques importantes démontrent que les méthodes agiles telles que le Scrum peuvent et devraient s’appliquer dans le domaine des […]

Le Labo Climat Montréal est un projet de recherche qui accompagne la Ville de Montréal et Ouranos dans le redéveloppement urbain du quartier Lachine Est. Son objectif est de développer de nouvelles pratiques de planification de projets urbains qui prennent en compte l’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Pour cela, les stagiaires participeront aux nombreuses tâches du […]

Quality inspection is very important for manufacturing industry, current solution struggles with accuracy and requires machine vision knowledge to use. We are proposing to use deep learning technology to improve the performance of inspection as well as to ease the use of such system, so that user can simply use labeled data to build a […]

This project will develop a microscope to allow ear surgeons to non-invasively see through the ear drum and into the middle ear. 250,000 ear surgeries are conducted annually in the US, but currently ear surgeons do not have a good diagnostic tool for imaging the middle ear non-invasively. For many forms of conductive hearing loss, […]

Tree contact with distribution lines is a leading cause of electric power outages for utilities in North America. Nova Scotia Power Inc. (NSPI) operates over 26,000 km of distribution lines. NSPI subscribes to a condition based asset management approach to mitigating vegetation that has the potential to threaten reliability of the distribution network. Currently, understanding […]

The research project will develop processes for the fabrication of latex rubber films containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as reinforcement to enhance the physical properties of the films. Similarly, improving the compatibility between the latex rubber and the CNCs will be investigated which is expected to significantly improve the physical properties of the films, resulting in […]

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices that promise fast charge-discharge rate, high power density, and long cycle life. However, low energy density and high cost of supercapacitors are yet to be addressed to catch up with the established market of batteries. This research project will design low-cost and high-energy electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors. To this […]

sustainable institution using the STARS Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System as a benchmark. Analyze the baseline sustainability level of the college by the application of set-target questions to staff members and students. USing this information, the intern will indicate areas of strength and areas for development within the institution. Resources may be created as […]

The objective of the proposed research is to investigate the performance degradation of a full-scale modified NACA 66 section, which is typically used for marine propellers, due to leading-edge (LE) manufacturing tolerances. Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations will be carried out for the base section without defect (as designed) and sections with LE defects […]

Avec le plan Nord 2035 lancé en 2011 (Gouvernement du Québec 2015), le Gouvernement du Québec prévoit investir dans la mise en place de 17 projets miniers dans le nord du Québec (au-delà du 49ième parallèle). Les écosystèmes fragiles comme la toundra subarctique ne peuvent pas retrouver leur état d’origine après une perturbation d’envergure comme […]

AA6111 aluminum alloys possess a combination of excellent strength, good formability and good corrosion resistance that are widely use in the car panel manufacture. Direct chill (DC) casting process is typically employed for producing such alloy ingots. Despite its advantages, AA6111 alloys are considered as “hard-to-cast” alloy among 6xxx alloys because of high susceptibility to […]

Grasping skill is significant in modern service robot that requires interaction with object under manipulation. Grasping of a new object is a trivial task for human operator while it is challenging for robot manipulators. Inspired by the grasping process of human operators, grasping control algorithms based on the integration of vision, tactile sensing. Deep learning, […]
