En cette ère du numérique et de l’intelligence, une nouvelle vision de l’éducation – Éducation 4.0 – vise à développer une approche pédagogique novatrice et centrée sur le développement des compétences du 21e siècles telles la pensée complexe, la résolution de problèmes de façon créative et la capacité d’adaptation. Ces compétences – non-techniques, transversales et […]

The electric power industry is undergoing considerable changes with respect to structure, operation, regulation and modernization. One of the significant changes is the increased utilization of distribured energy sources (DES) such as wind and solar and other immerging technologies particularly in electric distribution systems. It is envisioned that DES will bcome the main source of […]

This project proposes to develop appropriate engineering tools to optimize the operation and tracing of a Sphagnum cultivation site. The project has three major stages: 1) literature review of main indicators of water stress based on the WTD, 2) construction of a database and indexes to represent fluctuations of seasonal water table that allows the […]

Au Quebec, la fonte du couvert nival est Ie mecanisme responsable de la majorite des crues printanieres. Par consequent, I’evaluation de I’etendue du couvert nival en temps reel interesse au plus haut point les autorites responsables de la gestion des ressources hydriques, en particulier Hydro-Quebec. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est Ie developpement d’une […]

This research project will develop dc electric field sensors for the monitoring of electric power utility infrastructure and for non-contact voltage probing and monitoring. MEMS sensors are the focus, as they offer small size, low cost, and low power operation. These properties make them ideal for hand held operation, and for deployment in remote locations […]

The proposed research aims to manufacture smart water sensors for real-time monitoring of Canadian watersheds’ quality. The need for clean water is constant for communities across Canada. With growing concerns related to organic pollutants entering the water supply, the treatment of drinking water and water systems, and their health effects a need has been sown. […]

The aim of this research and development project for the intern student is to assist in validation tests (both in-vitro and in-vivo) of a GI sampling capsule device being developed by the organization and translate the testing results and the new knowledge to technical documents for the potential customers and partners of the organization. In-vitro […]

Fault location identification is one of the most common, but challenging, activities that power operators face within industrial plants. Once a fault occurs in the network, protective relays isolate the affected area from the system; then, maintenance crew use special tools and patrol the area to pinpoint the fault. This process may take a lot […]

Le stage proposé ici permet de compléter un projet de doctorat sur la modélisation d’impacts liés à l’utilisation de l’eau en ACV en bénéficiant de l’opportunité d’appliquer la méthode sur des cas réels fournis par une entreprise d’experts conseils en ACV. De plus, ces études de cas permettront de comparer les résultats du modèle en […]

The Fraser River watershed, British Columbia provides habitat for Chinook salmon, which delivers food for First Nations, recreational anglers, commercial fisheries and endangered Southern Resident killer whales. Extensive forestry, agricultural, industrial and urban activities take place in the Fraser Valley exposing early life history stages of Chinook to a mix of legacy and new contaminants, […]

Home automation and smart devices offer the opportunities for consumers to save on costs. Furthermore, it is observed that home residents living in climates which require seasonal heating can achieve significant energy savings through thermostat adjustment. The aim of this project is to explore how smart thermostats track, control, and reduce electric resource consumption compared […]

Optimizing plant processes is of prime importance now more than ever. With stricter infrastructures being placed on safety, environmental effect, and corporate social responsibility, more complex systems that optimize these factors are needed. These complex systems with advanced algorithms are intended to further streamline the existing process while mitigating issues leading to a safer workplace, […]
