This project aims to provide evidence and research support to BGCBigs in the implementation of their Building an Evaluation Framework and Capacity for Sustainability project. BGCBigs recognizes that achieving their goal of ‘supporting our children and youth on the path to success’ depends upon an organization committed to evaluative thinking, learning and utilization of evidence […]

This project takes a holistic and comprehensive analysis of all aspects of Success Beyond Limits (SBL’s) programming as well as their research and evaluation frameworks. Operating in a low-income and marginalized setting, youth that attend SBL’s programming find it difficult to find, secure and keep meaningful employment. This research will capture the experiences of those […]

The aeronautic and aerospace industries are exploring new approached to reduce the mass of cables, bulky electronic systems. This rationally leads onto aircraft weight reduction as well as the amount of CO2 and greenhouse gas emitted by aircrafts. To reduce the mass of cables, power harvesting technique could be utilized. In this approach, the energy […]

The development of test means for aircraft flight control systems for is a complex, multidisciplinary and time consuming task. In this project a Master student will develop a reusable model-based development framework, based on an open source tool and methodology. This model-based systems engineering approach will allow the formalization of the generic aspects of the […]

The intern will analyze pre- and post-training survey and interview data from the SARE Centre’s EAAA Train the Trainer workshops in order to improve the quality of this training. These surveys/interviews assess trainees’ previous experience, skills, knowledge, and confidence in relevant areas as indicators of the workshop’s effectiveness. The intern will also conduct exploratory research […]

L’utilisation des antibiotiques pour améliorer la croissance chez les animaux a contribué à l’émergence d’une résistance aux antibiotiques. D’où la nécessité de développer des alternatives à l’usage des antibiotiques. Dans ce contexte, ce projet vise à développer une alternative économique, efficace et écologique, soit une formulation à base de levures à l’utilisation d’antibiotiques chez le […]

The Ciena Environment for Network Innovation (CENI) is a research project at Ciena which looks in to future computer communications networks with special focus on increased capacity (bandwidth) and control (SDN, or Software Defined Networks). This project operates an international testing network that connects Ciena’s Ottawa research facility to university based network researchers in Chicago, […]

The alignment of the dissertation and the CE in terms of preparing students as researchers in today’s environment or for innovative work outside the academy is in question. The purposes and structures of these basic PhD components have not changed significantly since the origin of the modern PhD, which was developed primarily as a vocational […]

Thales Canada Avionique développe entre autres des produits constitués de calculateurs (des modules contenant des cartes électroniques constituant des ordinateurs) jumelés à des modules d’interfaces, utilisés présentement à bord d’avions d’affaires produit par Textron, Bombardier Inc et Gulfstream Aerospace. Ces produits contiennent un nombre trop important de composants électroniques discrets de basses et hautes tensions […]

UBC and Microsoft intend to collaborate on an applied research project where 3D models of the brain will be used to create an interactive Holographic lecture using Microsoft’s new augmented reality device, the HoloLens. The will form the basis for a lesson or “HoloLecture,” and will feature new interactions to take advantage of the HoloLens’s […]

To investigate whether IO alters skeletal muscle adiponectin sensitivity and the mechanisms involved. 1. We will use L6 skeletal muscle cells treated with iron to determine if excess iron leads to adiponectin resistance. 2. We will examine temporal regulation of i) NLRP3 inflammasome and ii) oxidative stress by IO and using gain or loss of […]
