Leadership in Engineering Consulting: a qualitative study on the unique leadership skillsets of top performing engineering consultants, and what companies can do to develop them

Engineering consulting is a unique occupation that requires professionals to possess both strong technical and non-technical abilities. Engineering consulting organizations have identified the the gap between top performers and their peers to pertain to be social, relational and leadership skills. Our work seeks to identify the leadership skillset that differentiates top performers in engineering consulting organizations by taking a qualitative exploratory approach, collecting data through interviews and focus groups with engineering consultants at various stages of their career. We will examine the associated organizational and team-based supports that contribute to leadership and non-technical skill development in collaboration with our industry partners. We approach our work by first defining leadership as a process, rather than a trait or belonging to positional authority. The engineering profession across North America has been issuing calls to action to incorporate leadership learning as part of engineering education, but there remains a gap between engineering leadership needs in industry and the leadership skillsets of engineers. Our work will support understanding leadership skills and development in the unique context of engineering consulting to allow engineering organizations to better facilitate development of their staff.

Development of an image-guided navigation platform for an automated and MRI-compatible robotic needle guiding device for percutaneous procedures

Prostate cancer is the second most cancer related death in men, accounting or over 111 M$ yearly in Canada. Current prostate biopsy or therapy procedures such as transperineal brachytherapy use transrectal ultrasound guidance and a template to guide needles along parallel trajectories. However, pubic arch interference (PAI) with the implant path obstructs part of the prostate from being targeted by the brachytherapy needles. Image–?guided robotized surgical interventions, and in particular MRI–?guided, can solve these problems by combining high precision robotics with high- resolution and accurate imaging, leading to targeted biopsies and focal therapies that will enable simpler treatments with lower side effects. This project will propose a novel and FDA approved navigation platform for the robotic needle steering device developed by Polymer Robotics. The navigation platform will include a comprehensive, reliable and time-efficient pre-procedural planning which can be easily integrated in the intra-procedural workflow, using an automated multimodal registration procedure.

Manufacturing and Assessment of High-Performance Bicycle Frames

High performance bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using a hand-layup process. Due to the manual nature of this manufacture method, defects such as voids, fiber misalignment, or resin rich/resin poor regions can occur. Micro-computed tomography is an X-ray based measurement method that is ideally suited for the inspection and assessment of high-performance CFRP components. This work will involve a collaboration between Bridge Bike Works and York University. The trainee will assist Bridge Bike Works with optimizing their manufacturing process using micro-computed tomography. This project will provide the trainee with hands on experience with the manufacturing of advanced CFRP parts. Bridge Bike Works will benefit by using high resolution micro-computed tomography to assess bicycle frame component manufacturing quality and consistency.

Blade Fragmentation modeling in hard-wall containment systems

According to the existing airworthiness standards, aircraft turbofan engine certification must demonstrate its ability to contain a fan blade should the blade accidentally separate under critical operating conditions. P&WC has established a full engine computational analysis process. In the continuing evolution of this modelling process, several areas requiring improvement have been identified as critical. One of them – which is the focus of this research proposal – is the ability to capture accurately in modeling the fragmentation of the released blade that can happen upon its collision with rotor casing. Applicability of several simulation techniques for blade fragmentation modeling will be investigated in this study. Outcomes of simulations will be ranked based on (i) their ability to predict fragmentation of the blade observed experimentally, and (ii) computational time required. The study will result in development of best practices for conducting blade-off simulations that can accurately represent the fragmentation of the released blade.

A holistic and intelligent cyber risk quantification framework

In our contemporary world, digital systems are playing critical roles in every aspect of life. To maintain our digitalized environments safe, secure, efficient, and cost-effective, cyber risk assessment frameworks have been developed to assess the trustworthiness and effectiveness degree of an IT-based environment. However, these frameworks demand in-depth insights, expertise, and efforts to complete them as well as collecting huge volume of information and knowledge and then process them. In addition, while enterprises executives search quantitative and comparable outputs, these assessment frameworks do not address this need intactly. In this project, we offer a framework that leverages state-of-the-art AI technology to intelligently collect, process and extract knowledge from heterogenous source of data to generate real-time quantitative risk assessment reports. It also utilizes its generated reports as well as various important factors for decision making and provides its stakeholders with comprehensive decisions to mitigate risk and enhance effectiveness.

Cyclic CO2-Based Solvent Injection in Post-CHOPS Reservoirs with Complex Wormhole Systems; From Reservoir-On-The-Chip to Field Scale Optimization: An Attempt Towards the Net-Zero Approach

The primary objective of this project is to provide Canadian petroleum companies with a set of reliable data derived from experiments conducted on reservoir-on-the-chip platforms that facilitate the visualization of pore-scale interactions between solvent and heavy oil during the CO2-based CSI process in the presence of complex wormhole systems in post-CHOPS reservoirs. The reservoir-on-the-chip is particularly effective in capturing the effects of the governing operational parameters on foamy oil stability and the overall performance of a CO2-based CSI process. Moreover, an up-scaling procedure will be developed for converting lab data to field scale to construct a field scale simulator that allows to optimize the operational parameters on a real oil field. Furthermore, the field scale simulator will enable companies to examine the capacity of post-CHOPS reservoirs to store CO2 and ultimately, mitigate the impact of this gas on the environment.
