The proposed research project’s objective is to perform analysis on airfoil dimensions and configurations for a crosswind power kite system for wind energy generation. The airfoil will be examined through computational methods to determine how well the airfoil will perform. The airfoil configurations will then be optimized to find better designs for airborne wind energy […]

Potash is a mineral that is mined for use as fertilizer in agriculture. Potash accounted for $6.4 billion in exports from Saskatchewan in 2018 and potash mining represents a large fraction of the economy of Saskatchewan. When mining potash, it is important to avoid mining into areas near water-filled porous rocks since this can cause […]

Carbon capture and storage is a feasible, reliable and economic approach to reduce CO2 emission. Llydiminster area on the boarder of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta is an area with significant heavy oil production and a large amount of CO2 resources from thermal operated heavy oil production facilities and oil upgraders. Deploying CCU technology […]

L’indsutrie minière vit actuellement d’important changement en raison des nouvelles technologies des communications qui permettent maintenant la transmission efficace de données dans les mines souterraines. Ces nouvelles technologies faciliteront l’automatisation des équipements d’extraction, rendront accessible l’interopérabilité entre ceux-ci et permettront la numérisation des opérations. Le projet de recherche présenté dans cette demande souhaite tirer profit […]

This project will develop a low cost prototype fusion reactor to create energy from water. We will find a better way to add the power to run it and to increase the efficiency of operation over previous versions of the machine. The interns will increase Fuse’s knowledge of the workings of the reactor and the […]

The scope of the internship is to focus on business strategy and marketing during the relaunch of True Vision in light of the Covid-19 restrictions. The key activities that will be undertaken by the intern will be to regularly meet and work with the Vision Center manager to first get a comprehensive understanding of the […]

Next generation plant breeding requires bringing together many different types and sources of information about different plant varieties, including their genetic information together with how well they grow in different environments. The best ways to organize and integrate these sources of information within a plant breeding program is not well known. In this project, we […]

Haven Family Connections Inc is changing its accounting and finance processes, which they believe will entail many activities for my internship. As the tasks that they listed, they will require the intern to fill out paperwork regarding changes to their processes, reconciliations, and descriptions of accounting policies. The organization will be wanting data transfer as […]

The proposed project with will explore the feasibility of pelletizing heat-sensitive protein and fibre-rich biomass. This animal feed additive is used to improve the digestibility of the diet and improve the performance of poultry and swine. Since densification process involves heat, it is important to investigate whether lowering temperature of the process (pelleting) and reducing […]

Our proposed study will research on the combination of vibration stimulation with cyclic solvent injection to reveal the associated interaction mechanisms between solvent and heavy oil, and to determine the optimal vibration frequency for heavy oil displacement recovery at actual reservoir conditions. This research project mainly focuses on the experimental tests of sandpack flooding with […]

Brine water is often produced in mineral extracting processes. It can cause damage to soil and biota when being spilled during storage and transportation. The damage can last for decades. Even after a mineral extracting process is closed, the damage of soil structure and composition would still not be recovered. The long-lasting devastation may cause […]

This research project gives business students an opportunity to get in touch with the real world and apply the knowledge they studied to help solve business problems. Students need to integrate their knowledge in Marketing, Finance and Information Technologies to help the organizations to understand their customers, recommend the IT-driven solutions to tackle the customer […]
