The sponsor company, Gnest Inc has plenty of experience in the consulting and design of nuclear power plant and specialized specific nuclear power engineering projects. Internship periods for 4 months can help the sponsor company to prepare for new promising fields of nuclear power engineering with specialized plan. The output of internship can help sponsor […]

This project will study different residential building retrofit strategies commonly used in Ontario in terms of their environmental performance. In particular, it will try to understand the embodied and operation carbon emissions associated with those strategies. The aim of this project is to understand the effect of using different material and systems in retrofit projects. […]

This project aims to develop and analyze innovative pneumatic powertrain configurations for vehicular applications. It is intended to bring potential investors to Canada to this project and to collaborate with academic and partner organizations. Since the transportation sector is a significant contributor to Canada’s GHG emissions (25%), alternative solutions to conventional powertrain technologies carries significant […]

Suicide is one of the most important causes of deaths in the prison environment, both in Canada and internationally. Rates of attempts of suicide and self-harm have been on the rise in recent years. To address this problem, there is a real and immediate need for an automated, private, and effective monitoring system that can […]

The Rural Ontario Institute (ROI) develops, connects and informs leaders so that they can create better lives in the communities where they live. ROI proposes to engage a Mitacs Intern to lead its Rural Change Makers project, an initiative that brings youth in rural areas in Ontario together to build and improve their leadership capacities […]

This research will evaluate the Nova Scotia True Sport Athlete Ambassador Program. Together, SNS, CSCA, and the CCES have created and launched a social media campaign to improve the sporting culture across Nova Scotia by increasing awareness for the seven True Sport Principles. Each month, the yearlong campaign will feature a different Nova Scotia-based athlete […]

Promoting the use of renewable energy such as biogas produced from organic waste is one of the main alternatives to achieve more sustainable development strategies. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is an efficient and proven technology, which can be employed to convert Organic Waste to Biogas, and to reduce global methane emissions. The main objective of this […]

Sound walls are a common solution used to minimize irritating sounds in buildings and sensitive areas. Instead of using drilled shafts. An innovative foundation system for sound walls termed innovative post (steel foundation) has been developed by Atlantic Industries Limited (AIL). Steel piles can be rapidly deployed and put to use swiftly. The purpose of […]

Presently, sound wall foundation design for steel piles is being governed by the effects of the freeze-thaw cycles. The deformations produced by the freeze-thaw cycles cause structural damage and can be seen as an important index to judge the stabilities of structures in cold regions. A very limited number of studies investigated pile design within […]

This research project aims to use a combination of historical data and physics principles to determine a ratio of batteries to gasoline to power a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. The physics method that will be used is called momentum theory. Momentum theory is a simplistic model of helicopter flight that determines how much power […]

In the context of a global increase in waste production and waning natural resources, this research intends to promote the shift to a circular economy in the Ontario construction industry. The work includes a literature review, an industry survey, structured interviews, and a period of testing assessment tool(s) with real projects for local use. The […]

Unmet food preferences result in meal dissatisfaction and is a significant risk factor for decreased intake of food and fluids in culturally diverse older adults residing in long-term care (LTC) homes. Food choices are based on traditional, religious, and personal taste that is part of an individual’s culture. Menu planning practices need to be culturally […]
