Several barriers continue impacting EV adoption, including vehicle driving range, cost, lifespan, and safety. These barriers are aggravated in extreme cold and hot climate settings due to the sensitivity of batteries and EV technologies to sub-zero and high temperatures (above 45°C). Partnering with Ford Canada, we will jointly develop battery thermal management innovations combining physics-based […]

The agronomy intern will be an important member of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The intern will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying his/her expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. […]

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a programmable technology that enable the implementation of hardware circuits. FPGAs are now being used as computing devices, but lack the capabilities and services provided by the operating systems used in all software-based computing systems. The goal of this project is to develop some fundamental operating system features for […]

The purpose of this study is to identify the opportunities and challenges for offshore wind development in the Strait Area. Onshore wind is an established industry in Nova Scotia. However, there is an increasing interest on the part of large global players in exploring the potential contribution of offshore wind development in the region. The […]

The organization is HUB Cycling and this project is specifically for their Bike Friendly Building (BFB) Consulting Services Department. HUB Cycling engaged a Capilano University Business student in 2021 to develop a marketing strategy to attract more BFB Consulting clients, which is being implemented in 2022. There is an anticipated significant increase in clients that […]

This project aims at developing a business strategy that will help Cozii to better understand its target market within the property management industry, develop and implement product improvements that will make it compete favourably in the market, and implement new strategies to establish new partnerships and achieve target sales.

Tricca Technologies is a spinoff company of the University of Alberta that is making a small cooler system for shipping small numbers of chemicals or biological samples. Currently, biological samples are often shipped using dry ice to ensure they remain cold during transit, this greatly increases shipping costs meaning it is usually only economically viable […]

The grain sector is a key driver of Canada’s economic growth, with more than 20 million tons of wheat exports and over $20 billion in export sales annually. Many activities required for wheat production rely on laborious manual observation, such as post-harvest assessment of wheat kernels and wheat head detection. These manual, subjective tasks can […]

This project will study different residential building retrofit strategies commonly used in Ontario in terms of their environmental performance. In particular, it will try to understand the embodied and operation carbon emissions associated with those strategies. The aim of this project is to understand the effect of using different material and systems in retrofit projects. […]

Le watersquare Fleurs-de-Macadam, récemment construit à Montréal dans l’arrondissement du Plateau Mont-Royal, intègre plusieurs infrastructures visant à drainer les eaux pluviales ruisselant sur les rues adjacentes, dont une dépression minéralisée servant de place publique au centre et des zones de biorétention aux abords. Ces dernières sont des ouvrages consistant à utiliser le sol et les […]

Ignite athletics is a strength and conditioning company that works with thousands of athletes every year. Ignite has developed new technology to improve the tracking and reliability of strength metrics, while simultaneously improving the cost, portability, and credibility. The goal of the project is to bring together Engineers, Sport Scientists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches […]

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RISs) are man-made surfaces of electromagnetic (EM) material that are electronically controlled with integrated electronics and have unique wireless communication capabilities. However, a major limitation of current research on RISs is the lack of accurate and tractable models that describe the reconfigurable meta-surfaces as a function of their EM properties. In addition, […]
