Innovative Projects Realized

Adaptation électrique et électronique d’un appareil roombat

Fondée en 2020, AWL-E a pour mission de commercialiser des solutions de transmission d’énergie sans fil grâce à sa technologie unique offrant une plus grande distance, puissance et efficacité à ses utilisateurs. L’entreprise se concentre sur la mise en œuvre de ses inventions dans des applications ayant un fort impact social et économique.
L’entreprise a recruté des étudiants pour soutenir le projet de développement d’un chargeur sans fil par couplage capacitif pour un nouvel appareil électronique. Ils devront donc appliquer les connaissances déjà acquises par l’équipe à un aspirateur automatique de type Roomba différent de celui déjà en place.

A Web Development of Digital Twins Simulation Services

A digital twin is a virtual representation of the real world by simulating physical assets, materials, or systems. Such a continuous interaction imposes new challenges to software components that should be configurable on the fly and scalable to the requests changing over time. Hence software computing solutions are essential to empower digital twin implementation to boost the digital transformation of a wide range of industries. SimWell has developed various digital solutions based on simulation, optimization, and AI tools. With the emerging need for operational solutions in the market, SimWell aims to focus on developing Real-time connected digital twins’ solutions to help our clients automate their decision-making and optimize their operations. The project aims to design and develop a solution that represents the good practices of a common problem for reusing components in the digital transformation of domain models. The approach is based on an API architecture of services that is efficient in reusing common software components, modules, and libraries and customized for deployment. Through SimWell’s products and services, the technology developed in this project will benefit clients worldwide with quality simulations and economic gain.

Adoption of a Hospital Decision-Support System: A Revised UTAUT Model

One key stumbling block to the success of health care systems has been their adoption and use by health care. This study will employ the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as the basis for determining what predicts health care professionals’ acceptance and perceived effective use of Oculys’ DSS. It is the goal of this research to study the contextual features of the health care setting which may influence the adoption and use of the DSS, to adapt the UTAUT model accordingly, and to test the modified UTAUT model at SJHC in a longitudinal study. The study will take place in two phases – three to four months after system implementation, and; six to seven months after system implementation. Data collection will consist of focus groups, electronic surveys, and system logs of use.

Addressing Housing Needs in New Brunswick: New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association

The New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association (NBNPHA) represents 180 non-profit and co-op housing organizations that own and operate 6,500 rental units in the province. The NBNPHA provides fee-for-service consulting for its members and other non-profit housing groups to help develop rejuvenation, renovation, and new build projects. Services include writing funding proposals, project management, building design, and construction owner’s representative.

A recent report completed by economist David Campbell titled “Housing Demand by Region in New Brunswick Through 2030” concludes that rural New Brunswick requires about 3,000 new housing starts per year over the next five years to grow the workforce by 0.5% per year. The current trajectory of housing starts is about 1,200 per year. In other words, housing starts need to more than double in the province now.

This project will provide the New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association with an in-depth analysis and interpretation of the financial state of the non-profit organizations that are currently members of the NBNPHA. This project will help the NBNPHA develop more informed and efficient decisions regarding housing metrics, funding, and support throughout the province and begin addressing the above challenges.

Governance practices in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM)

This study aims to identify the key challenges faced by artisanal and small-scale miners globally, as well as to provide cases of leading practices taken by governments, international organizations, large-scale mining companies and ASM groups to strengthen the governance capacity within the ASM sector. This study is qualitative in nature and will be conducted primarily through literature review and secondary data analysis from reliable sources. The outcomes of this project will benefit the partner’s business activities in Canada and enhance knowledge regarding ASM governance, contributing to strengthen the company’s engagement strategy worldwide.

Nikayda Harris – The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Hiring

The proposed project is about developing and implementing AI-powered hiring tools for a partner organization. These tools will help the organization streamline its recruitment process by automatically filtering resumes and identifying top candidates. This will save time and resources for the organization while ensuring that they hire the best candidates for the job. The expected benefit for the partner organization is helping to educate entrepreneurs and founders on more efficient and effective hiring process, leading to better hiring decisions and ultimately, improved business outcomes.

Bent Arrow

Please conduct feasibility study on purchasing Parkdale school. We may have the opportunity to purchase the buy the school in the near future. We may be able to get the school for no cost as through and act of reconciliation, but we may also have to buy it outright. It is an older building and we should be aware of the liability and costs of running such an old building.

Validation de l’immplantation d’un programme d’entraînement à haute intensité à l’aide du HITrainer chez des élèves du secondaire

Ce projet vise à valider l’utilisation d’un appareil d’entraînement en haute intensité, développé pour l’entraînement de haut niveau en milieu sportif, vers un milieu tout à fait novateur pour ce type d’appareil, qui est celui de l’éducation auprès d’étudiants du secondaire. De plus, il permettra d’évaluer les perceptions des jeunes de secondaire en ce qui a trait aux changements liés à leur participation au programme d’entrainement de courte durée et haute intensité sur leurs facteurs de réussite scolaire, leur estime de soi et les bons coups favorisant leur participation à ce projet.

Business strategy Proposal -Biovectra – Analysis of Clinic Projects for BIOVECTRA Manufacturing Capacities

BIOVECTRA is a North American CDMO focusing on optimizing, adapting, and perfecting innovative technologies and drug substance development to deliver effective and novel solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Challenges and opportunities include:
• Solving complex therapeutic challenges in collaboration with partners through contract development and manufacturing
• Offering products and services of exceptional caliber, on time and on budget
• Effective clinical to commercial scale production of high-quality regulated APIs and intermediates

Isobody Business Model & Strategic Plan

Isobody is a body sizing system that assigns 3-character codes to clusters of equal anthropometric measurements (+/- 2 cm). The problem Isobody seeks to solve is the energy and materials waste associated with unpredictable clothing fit. The primary objective of the project is to create a Business Model and Strategic Plan for Isobody. A key component of this objective is to develop a pitch document for investors that clearly identifies the ROI potential of their investment.

Apprentissage automatique pour la résolution de problèmes de tournées de véhicules avec préférences implicites

Fastercom est une entreprise spécialisée dans le développement d’algorithmes et de logiciels permettant de résoudre différentes formes du problème de tournée de véhicules, le « Vehicle Routing Problem » (VRP). Les contraintes considérées sont généralement très diverses et varient selon les domaines des clients. L’objectif de ce projet est de concevoir une méthode visant à améliorer l’efficacité des résolutions de problèmes de tournées de véhicules en tenant compte des préférences implicites des répartiteurs, chauffeurs ou autres profils opérationnels ayant développés une connaissance du terrain et des enjeux concrets des tournées de véhicules dans le mode réel. Pour cela, nous prévoyons d’utiliser des méthodes de pointe en apprentissage automatique pour obtenir ces contraintes de préférences implicites.
