This project is examining the movements (migratory and local), status, and health of the Turkey Vulture in the Pacific Northwest, with a particular focus on Vancouver Island. This is at the northwestern edge of their relatively recent (and continuing) apparent range expansion and population growth locally. Through a process of trapping, tagging, monitoring, and observing […]

L’entrepreneuriat reste de façon largement prédominante présenté comme une activité purement économique, que ce soit dans la littérature ou les médias. Cette conception donne aussi l’image d’un entrepreneuriat réservé à une frange limitée de la population, négligeant certaines catégories de celle-ci. Des études ont ainsi mis en évidence la sous-représentation des femmes, des communautés migrantes, […]

Les technologies sont de plus en plus utilisées pour optimiser le développement des athlètes sans incapacités. Malheureusement, les para-athlètes sont peu impliqués dans ces innovations, limitant leurs accessibilités. L’objectif est de développer/valider un système d’évaluation adapté aux besoins de para-athlètes grâce à des technologies portables et facilement utilisables en contexte terrain. Spécifiquement, le projet vise […]

The creation of an immersive space requires the precise connection of audio, visual and haptic systems. Current methods for connecting these systems rely on software engineers to rebuild the tools each time a change is made to the mappings, making it difficult for designers to experiment with new interaction methods. This internship will support and […]
