Le sujet a l’etude dans ce projet est le joint de cuivre flexible. Ces joints assurent une connexion electrique entre des conducteurs. Certains fabricants utilisent aujourd’hui ces joints flexibles dans les alternateurs pour faire les connexions entre les poles du rotor pour l’inducteur. Le dimensionnement de ces joints flexibles s’effectue avec une approche conservatrice compte […]

Peatlands are freshwater wetlands which, in their natural (pristine) state, provide a specific habitat for many species of flora and fauna and several ecosystem services useful to human populations, such as the sequestration of carbon in accumulated peat (peatlands are a major global carbon sink). However, like many other wetlands, they are often disturbed and […]

We are at the era of precision medicine and dentistry; however, currently the leading-edge technologies used for adaptive milling control and modeling of CNC milling have not entered the micro-scale milling applications in the dental industry. The overall objective of this MITACS project is to utilize an Industry 4.0 based approach to explore characterization parameters […]

This research project focuses on using functional modelling (FRAM) to map trainee-trainer interactions in lifeboat simulators. The functional model will be used as a basis to create a virtual instructor that can provide feedback to trainees autonomously in Virtual Marine’s lifeboat simulators. The research will contribute to improving the capabilities of Virtual Marine’s lifeboat simulators […]

Seneca and Trinetra are collaborating to develop a Human Resources (HR) Expert System—a self-service, Artificial Intelligence (AI)–powered application capable of responding to queries or questions from hospital staff by extracting the right answer from relevant sources: collective bargaining agreement, policies, etc., which will be piloted at Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). This System will provide an […]

Electrochemical sensors for monitoring dissolved oxygen levels are commonplace in industrial, research and regulatory labs. The industrial partner?s commercialized device is capable of real-time monitoring of O2 at parts-per-billion levels but is interested in reformulating the electrode materials to remove heavy metals, thereby minimizing negative environmental impact and ensuring sustainability of the technology. This project […]

The intern is expected to work on devising novel, research-based solutions to model traits (e.g., naturalness, confidence, engagement, humor, etc.) from video recordings of non-cognitive, performance-based tasks. Specifically, we are working toward an intelligent combination of multimodal (video, speech, text) data to create an enriched model for predicting human traits in human-computer interactions. The intern […]

It has become clear during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that the standard opaque medical masks pose a challenge for effective communication in healthcare settings, especially for deaf and hard of hearing people and other individuals who rely on visual cues or lip/speech reading. To address this challenge, this research project aims to develop a transparent single-use […]

A collaboration with Acadia University, DFO and CARP proposes two interns assess the recolonization of COSEWIC listed Striped Bass and Atlantic Sturgeon to the Annapolis River Estuary. Research will focus on critical knowledge gaps regarding the habitat occupancy and migration of both species and train interns on current fisheries techniques. The goal is to monitor […]

Les puces microfluidiques ont montré beaucoup de potentiel pour la culture d’échantillons de tumeurs à l’extérieur du corps (ex vivo). En conservant la viabilité des tumeurs jusqu’à 15 jours, elles ouvrent la voie vers des tests prédictifs de la réponse des patients au traitement avant même leur prescription. Toutefois, pour que la technologie soit commercialisable, […]

L’acceptabilité sociale des projets est un enjeu stratégique pour les organisations. C’est notamment le cas de Bell Canada qui a récemment investi environ 17 milliards de dollars pour le déploiement du réseau 5G à travers le territoire national. C’est dans cette perspective que cette recherche partenariale avec Bell Canada vise à mieux comprendre les dynamiques […]

To support next generation learning, classroom assessment innovations are needed to promote next generation classroom practices and to signal what sociocultural perspectives we value in learning. The summer intern project will focus on applying socioculturally responsive assessment practices to analyze, critique, and refine example assessment prototypes and develop pedagogical strategies to support science learning and […]
