The Canadian agricultural industry stands out as an emblematic case among developed countries that have long relied on (im)migrant labour from poorer, non-white countries to meet its labour needs. State-sponsored programs have facilitated the legal entry of migrant labour from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Caribbean countries, among others. However, the temporary and restricted nature […]

The goal of the project will be to further refine and enhance P&WC’s (Pratt & Whitney Canada) near and long term Industrial Engineering strategies with respect to development and deployment of Intelligent Manufacturing Cells. Firstly, an understanding of current P&WC Intelligent Manufacturing Cell Projects in parallel with surveying leading Industrial Engineering (IE) research and application […]

The shared platform model is emerging as an innovative organizational structure. The proposed research aims to gain a deeper understanding of shared platforms strengths, barriers to success, and their potential impact on the social enterprise sector in a rural area. The shared platform organizational model provides two distinctive features for both business supports and mentorship […]

Driver distraction has long been a critical issue drawing substantial amount of research effort. In order to reduce driver distraction for improved driving performance and safety, automotive suppliers have been endeavoring to provide optimum user interaction solutions. Until recent years, there have been growing interests in the use of gestural interfaces for in-vehicle information systems; […]

By incorporation of distributed power generation to passive distribution networks, these networks will change to active networks and the studies related to active networks should be considered for them. Disconnection of these networks from the upstream power system may let them operate in islanded mode (a micro-grid). One of the studies that should be considered […]

Stability of the pipeline system is highly significant considering the economic and environmental concerns. The development of a tool for understanding the effects of hydrodynamic forces will allow operators to construct more stable pipeline systems with utmost cost efficiency. In this study, a numerical investigation will be conducted with the help of CFD and FEA […]

The employment of THz radiation, i.e. radiation with frequencies falling between the microwaves and infrared domains, is arousing an ever-increasing interest in the last decade. Thanks to its invaluable features, such as transparency to the most part of the materials, negligible ionizing energy and availability of high frequency carriers, this technology is penetrating in lots […]

Intern will be determining active ingredients in Iceberg mist which is a toner based on iceberg water. Several tests will be conducted to determine the antioxidant potential of this product. The partner organization will be able to make a claim on the product using the information based on this project which will help in marketing […]

Planter des arbres dans les bandes riveraines de milieux agricoles a de nombreux avantages. Les arbres diminuent la pollution des eaux, limitent l’érosion et améliorent le cadre de vie des gens. Toutefois, la biodiversité végétale des bandes riveraines peut parfois ne pas se rétablir suite aux plantations d’arbres. Tout dépend des graines présentes dans les […]
