The Vancouver Writers Fest is one of Canada’s leading literary festivals. Accessibility challenges have been a major priority for the Festival, and meeting accessibility needs will allow it to serve and grow its audience more inclusively. This project aims to improve physical accessibility for participants at the Vancouver Writers Fest. The intern will work with […]

This postdoctoral study seeks to help Teck understand the practices that support and advance the company’s sustainability, its employees’ safety, Its collaboration with communities and Its protection of the environment. Through a series of case studies, the researcher will explore how Teck has managed the tension between regulatory compliance and sustainable innovation. The researcher will […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Copeman Healthcare Centre is engaged in a multi-year research and development program in the area of cognitive health. Cognitive health is a surrogate marker for brain health. All other technologies, such as biomarkers, electrophysiology, structural brain imaging, and functional brain imaging attempt to measure damage to the brain. Moreover, these technologies do not measure or […]

Pressure ulcers are a major health concern around the world, affecting individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in particular. Pressure ulcers occur when the blood supply to the skin and underlying tissue is compromised, leading to cell death and potentially fatal infections. In this project, we are developing a soft, flexible and stretchable pressure […]

The main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is narrowing of blood vessels due to atherosclerosis. In such cases stents are chronically implanted in -arteries to physically expand and scaffold the vessels. Each year, ~90,OOO stents are implanted in Canadians. All these minimally invasive procedures involve the use of a catheter. Currently available catheter tubes advance […]

Many methods for providing respiratory support to patients are currently in use, however more commonly available techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are not appropriate for ventilation of patients with airborne infectious diseases due to the risk of aerosolization endangering other patients and hospital staff. Clarivent is working with BCIT to further develop […]

Fabstation-Steel is the flagship product of Eterio Realities Inc. It is designed to improve Structural Steel Fabricators’ production quality and velocity by using AR (augmented reality) virtual assembly model overlay technology. Since the accuracy of the virtual model overlay is critical to the success of the product, this research project aims to improve the virtual […]

In order to ensure accuracy and efficacy with Drive Hockey’s proprietary tracking enabled hockey pucks, the BCIT intern would perform physical, performance, and signal processing testing. The objective is to produce a set of baseline lab test data for us to compare our tracking enabled puck to an official puck (or possibly two different brands) […]

At the Engineer Property in northern British Columbia, gold-bearing epithermal (shallow heat) quartz-carbonate veins feature electrum (gold-silver alloy) and roscoelite (a vanadium mica), an association which has not been well studied in similar gold deposits. The igneous heat source for the veins has not been proven, but is believed to be the Eocene Sloko Group […]
