Les scandales financiers (HealthSouth et Enron WorldCom) survenus depuis les 20 dernières années ont ébranlé la confiance des investisseurs envers le système. En effet, les fraudes financières en entreprise ont un impact dévastateur sur les entreprises qui en sont victimes et sur leurs actionnaires, qui peuvent encaisser des pertes énormes. Ce type d’événement peut engendrer […]

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]

Plant-based beverages are inappropriate alternatives to bovine milk, due to lower protein content and not sufficient amount of essential amino acids. To produce nutritionally complete plant-based beverage with high overall acceptability, the technological interventions and fortification techniques need to be developed. Oat is one of the promising raw material for preparation of functional plant-based milk […]

The UPS market has recently experienced an exponential growth due to the increase in the number of data centers and IT centers. In this research program, superior UPS products will be designed and developed to comply with the new performance requirements of the UPS market. This research program has tremendous value for Alpha Technologies Ltd. […]

Safety-critical systems are pervasive throughout our society with everyday objects such as airplanes, cars, trains, or medical devices. The requested functionality and expectations from these systems are growing rapidly and consequently, they become more complex. The complexity is usually handled by breaking the system into manageable smaller components and parts. Factories then integrate these parts […]

Electronic assemblies are used to control various systems in an aircraft. Under normal operating conditions, these assemblies undergo vibration, and therefore have an expected life span. Different designs are analyzed to reduce production cost, and these designs have to ensure that the electronic components contained within the hardware can tolerate the same operating conditions without […]

Structural and vibration analysis is performed on a proposed design change on electronic assembly to ensure that it meets customer requirements and is a more cost-effective design. Such design change should be cost efficient. The important aspect, in addition to the design, is interacting with different engineers at different positions in the company. Working with […]

Le parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, sous la responsabilité de la Sépaq, subit de façon continue des glissements pelliculaires, un type de glissement de terrain, menaçant les infrastructures et les sentiers pédestres. Afin d’assurer la sécurité des randonneurs et des investissements en infrastructures prévus, il est nécessaire d’identifier les zones à risque de glissement. Ce […]

The project objective is to develop a machine vision-based system for reliably determining that the correct type and number of oil filter brackets are loaded in a tote. After accomplishing the main objective, a training manual will be written , and Orlick personnel will be trained how to operate and maintain the system. The system […]

Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), also known as Postglacial Rebound, describes how the Earth responds to different loading/unloading processes, through deformation and vertical motion. One important loading/unloading process includes the Wisconsinan Glaciation Episode and the last glacial maximum, approximately 21ka BP. The unloading processes since led to vertical motion centered around James Bay/Hudson Bay, Canada, with […]

Environ 360 000 travailleurs québécois sont quotidiennement exposés à des niveaux de bruit susceptibles d’engendrer des problèmes d’audition. Les protections auditives individuelles sont utilisées afin de réduire les risques de surdité, mais des inconforts associés à leur port poussent les utilisateurs à les retirer, même brièvement, et diminue ainsi grandement leur efficacité. Ce projet s’intéresse […]

This project focuses on the concept design and ACS/Geolocation simulation of an Earth-observation microsatellite in Low Earth Orbit. MSCI has a long history of building microsatellites, but not for an Earth observation mission. In this research, we will evaluate the current MSCI multi-mission bus design capability, given its current hardware, for use in the QEYSSat […]
