The project is part of a desire to address the school dropout issue, particularly in multi-ethnic and disadvantaged communities. Despite the implementation of several universal interventions in Quebec, the drop-out rate remains high in numerous areas. In the Eastern Townships area, a partnership between the Sherbrooke Regional School Board and the Université de Sherbrooke in […]

Most Canadians live in the urban regions, and most Canadian cities receive snow every year. For instance, Montreal receives about 2.3 meter of snow every year. This snow accommodates various human-made pollutants in cities and accumulates over long Canadian winter. This application to support an intern which will be involved in a collaborative project with […]

Lorsqu’une catastrophe majeure survient, l’organisation rapide et efficace des secours est un facteur important pour circonscrire l’impact de l’événement. Un facteur déterminant pour la bonne organisation des secours est la disponibilité d’une information rapide et fiable recensant les infrastructures et les bâtiments qui sont endommagés et ceux qui sont encore opérationnels. Pour réaliser rapidement cette […]

La résilience dans une perceptive organisationnelle est fort intéressante et d’actualité. Homes (1997) définit ce concept comme étant la résistance de l’organisation face à une perturbation et sa capacité à se rétablir. La vitesse des changements, la pénurie de main-d’œuvre, les départs massifs à la retraite, l’évolution technologique sont que quelques exemples qui justifient le […]

We deal with condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of a selected electrical asset using deep learning. We propose an efficient predictive maintenance strategy for a selected electrical asset in order to optimize their life cycle costs. We will investigate the use of LSTM networks in order to predict the Remaining Useful Life RUL for the […]

This project is in collaboration with Ciena, an international company specialized in the supply of telecommunications networking equipment and software services. Electrical components produced by Ciena are important in many networking equipment such as routers or switches. Every year, a large number of components is produced. However, the production process may have some flaws, causing […]

The milling process is an industrial manufacturing method commonly used for shaping custom parts with precise tolerances using rotary cutters. Rough Milling processes affect the part quality of machined components due to high temperature, large strain, and high strain rate. It is important to identify and improve the milling-induced residual stresses of surface and subsurface […]

RCM Groupe est un leader national dans la fabrication des bâtiments modulaires pour différents secteurs d’activité tels que l’hôtellerie, la santé et l’immobilier. RCM cherche à améliorer sa productivité, son niveau d’assurance qualité et de traçabilité. Les modules sont construits aujourd’hui sur différentes stations d’assemblage et d’inspection. Le but du projet est de développer une […]

The proposed research project will improve CM Labs Simulations’ construction training simulators by automatically evaluating trainees and providing useful feedback about their progress frequently throughout the training cycle. Machine learning techniques will be applied to a large dataset of training simulator recordings in order to discern good skill progression of heavy machine operation for various […]

From December 2021 all the construction projects in Quebec should follow new Draft Regulations Amending Quebec Construction Code. This research investigated the impact of the implementation of section 3 of the new code which relates to the envelope thermal resistance calculation by considering thermal bridges. During phase one the calculation method will be applied for […]

Suite aux embûches vécues ainsi qu’aux apprentissages effectués lors de la première vague de la COVID-19, la Société Mallette souhaite revoir l’ensemble de son plan de continuité des affaires (PCA) . Mallette désire, en effet, se doter d’un PCA pour l’ensemble de l’entreprise de façon à être plus agile et mieux outillé pour faire face […]

As new generations of millimetre-wavelength cosmology experiments look to detect ever-fainter signals, they require ever-increasing levels of sensitivity. Because modern detectors and readout systems already operate at such high levels of performance that they attain the physical limit imposed by the photons they detect, any improvements in sensitivity must instead come from increasing the number […]
