As the scope of design has become more complex – designers have moved from designing products, to technology, experiences, environments and more recently services. This progression in design, its implications, serves the need for the exploration of more holistic approaches to leverage designers’ understanding of these complex problems. Furthermore it identifies the need for designers […]

Les discussions sur les questions identitaires et de justice sociale (Réconciliation avec les Premières Nations, des mouvements comme Black Lives Matter, etc.) sont omniprésentes dans le contexte québécois actuel. En reconnaissant l’importance de ces enjeux, les universités changent aussi leurs pratiques en recherche auprès des sujets humains, mais il faut encore que ces pratiques soient […]

We are doing a series of courses/focus groups to explore the technical and marketing challenges people face when they want to create something new. The project involves asking people what they want to build, helping them understand the framework of the customer discovery process, and working with them to determine the customer needs, solution details, […]

The broad goal of this project is to create and implement a system which is able of assessing and classifying skin burns (and other types of skin lesions/wounds) using different state-of-the-art machine learning models and techniques such as EfficientNets, Reinforcement learning, saliency mappers, CAM, etc… The work that will be completed during this internship will […]

The goal of this industry partnered project is to develop accessible online cognitive tests for children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Presently, Cambridge Brain Sciences is a leader in offering on-demand cognitive testing for typically-developing children and adults. An intern who is a graduate student in school […]

Stories are powerful. They weave us together and shape how we see the world. This project invites ALL Canadians to be storytellers for a common cause: the health and sustainable use of the global ocean, and all waterways leading to it. In Canada, the ocean can be understood as an interconnected expanse encompassing coastal areas, […]

Electrification connects renewable, low-carbon energy sources to the energy services that power modern society. Delivering this energy in the form of electricity is a formidable challenge, as the current electrical transmission network is not structured to deliver the amount of electrical energy needed to propel our vehicles, heat and cool our homes, and power industry […]

The purpose of this project is to innovate how businesses market in the energy efficiency and building industries. The challenge lies in the fact that many businesses in these industries have continued to thrive using minimal or traditional marketing methods.
