The primary objective of this internship is to design an impact management system for aerospace innovation teams (four different sizes of solar-powered airships) to track their objectives against results measured in terms of impact. Each aerospace innovation team defines its mission in terms of performance results measured in engineering terms. The intern’s job will be […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seeing continued industrial uptake, with the aerospace sector representing one of the early adopters and largest growth areas. The design freedom offered by AM is being leveraged to develop advanced heat exchangers with highly complex internal features. This project will focus on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of AlSi10Mg, with emphasis […]

Founded in 2020, Nobellum is a female-led ecosystem of leaders from the BIPOC community with a mandate of supporting the start-up of at least 100 Black-owned businesses in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) by 2025. This year, Nobellum is launching the Nobellum Innovator Program, U of T Chapter in collaboration with the University of Toronto […]

While more than 50% of Canadians are women, less than 14% of practicing engineers are women. Furthermore, while more women are graduating with engineering degrees, they are less likely to remain in the profession than men. The workplace and professional self-regulation are not traditionally tailored to employees who balance work and caregiving responsibilities, which are […]

The objectives of this project are to increase the capability of cybersecurity products, services, and practices available to the public sector group of CW-E stakeholders. Connecting Windsor-Essex (CW-E) is a non-profit, shared-service organization which provides technology services for public sector organizations, small- and medium-sized businesses, and other community-oriented organizations. CW-E has a mandate for promoting […]

The Glacier test facility was established to conduct testing of aircraft turbofan engines under icing conditions. Engine manufacurers from across the globe use the Glacier facility to earn airworthiness certification for their products. A range of icing conditions is prescribed by airworthiness authorities, and required air temperature is produced under naturally occurring conditions. Air temperature […]

The project consists of two independent segments. The first part, to be managed by PhD student Yoonseok Jwa, aims to develop and evaluate new photogrammetric computer vision algorithms for detecting and identifying POAs and insulator types attached to power lines (PL). The expected benefit to the partner can be summarized as: (a) Efficiency- automatic detection […]

In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two Master’s students to advance and apply methods for modelling climate policies in transport, a field in which START in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research teams in the country and in which Navius […]

This research project will be focused on the development of a new software technology in order to model and map maximum solar energy potential on the rooftops and facades of buildings with high spatiotemporal resolution, with particular emphasis on optimal community design for smart net-zero energy solar communities. The goal of this project is to […]

A central venous access device (CVAD) is a thin, silicone tube that a doctor may insert into the vein of a patient to deliver medications directly into their bloodstream. If the patient does not need constant medication, nurses fill the CVAD with salt water or citrate to keep the tube open. This is called ‘locking’ […]

Poor water-solubility limits the total use of the drug in the human body of many recently discovered drugs. Recently, Amorphous Solid Dispersion (ASD) technique is being used as an efficient way to enhance solubility of poorly soluble drugs which are prevalent in pharmaceutical industry while providing sustained release, however the instability of ASD may cause […]
