Currently in Nova Scotia there is under-representation of diverse individuals employed in the automotive sector and a growing job vacancy rate. The Nova Scotia Automotive Sector Council seeks to understand the current employment and recruitment rates, barriers and opportunities for improvement in collaboration with our partner organizations from under-presented groups. In order to create inclusive […]

Les empilements de rejets miniers solides et de sol excavé doivent être végétalisés à la fin de la vie de la mine. La technique d’hydrosemis, qui consiste à pulvériser un mélange de graines et de fertilisant dans de l’eau, est souvent utilisée pour végétaliser les zones en pente. L’entreprise de végétalisation Irrigation NORCO veut optimiser […]

Services provided by CES move the traditional paradigm away from static paper maps and data management. Instead, they offer MapAki to create and deliver unique interactive web maps. This research project will attempt to associate multi-layered artificial intelligence empowered services to redesign and rebrand MapAki. Firstly, this project will use up-to-date visuals collected from the […]

The primary objective of this project is to develop a way for low-cost service robots to navigate indoors in a more accurate way. To keep costs down, such robots rely on relatively inexpensive encoders and gyroscopes to determine their positions and orientation. However, this leads to the problem of accumulated error while the robot attempts […]

The community of Nak’azdli Whut’en has been highly impacted by the watershed deterioration, as they currently have no access to clean water. The physicochemical and biological water quality parameters will be monitored for one-year. In addition, through the collaboration with the Nak’azdli band council and School District 91, a local team of high school students […]

Photons are particles of light. While countless numbers are emitted from a light source to illuminate a room, sensitive electronics can detect light down to the level of a single photon. These electronic devices, known as single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), use a process that triggers an avalanche of electrical charges, which can be measured […]

À l’échelle mondiale, la génération de plus en plus importante des matières résiduelles organiques, d’origine aussi bien industrielle que domestique, accentue le problème d’élimination. Dans ce contexte, un grand intérêt est dédié à la création des pistes de valorisation pour ces résidus. Dans le but de réduire la quantité de déchets récupérés, l’économie circulaire constitue […]

Les règlementations des gouvernements et la pression sociétale grandissante obligent les grands émetteurs de gaz à effets de serre (GES), principalement le dioxyde de carbone (CO2), à réviser leur empreinte environnementale. Avec l’augmentation quasi exponentielle de la taxe carbone au Canada, l’incitatif au virage vert devient non seulement environnemental, mais aussi économique. Au travers d’une […]

LifeLike BioTissue has developed a suite of products to assist in the training of medical professionals with highly realistic models that mimic the mechanical properties, feel and anatomy of human body organs and structures. These human tissue phantoms replicate a variety of complex human tissues, supporting surgeons and medical device companies for surgical training and […]

La determination de la meilleure conception de reacteur a vis, !’identification des parametres optimaux du precede et de la meilleure technologie de recuperation s’imposent comme une necessite pour l’entreprise. Pour ce faire, l’entreprise veut construire une unite laboratoire, afin d’appliquer les ameliorations et de corriger les defauts et les faiblesses releves lors de !’operation sur […]

In this collaborative project between L. Goncharova’s group (Western) and Sciencetech (London, ON), silicon, germanium, and tin heterostructure will be grown by thin-film deposition techniques. By precisely controlling the amount of each element in the films, these heterostructures can overcome the poor light adsorption and emission properties of silicon, and will be explored for light […]

The goal of this research is to assess the impacts of a teaching methodology known as pedagogical narration on teachers’ practices. The research study aims to introduce teachers to the Early Learning Framework and to mentor teachers in using pedagogical narration. Capilano University student interns will be deployed to iGen Education Group to support the […]
