Located on Northern Haida Gwaii, Old Massett represents one of two Haida communities on this remote archipelago. The Haida, like any other Indigenous Community, have faced obstacles and challenges in finding their niche within the modern and Western World. Innovation, expertise, and active community engagement has brought the Old Massett Haida to a place […]

  By the end of the internship, the students should be able to provide Lancaster Sheet metal (sponsor company) with a valid design for a collapsible intermodal container in order to minimize their shipping costs. As understood from Lancaster Sheet Metal, the company ships its products in intermodal containers, and then the containers are sent […]

  The purpose of this project is to mathematically model the process of electrochemical wastewater treatment in an effort to expedite the formulation of design parameters and increase the viability of such a treatment system. An electrochemical cell is a specific example of a physical system with multiple interfaces. These interfaces are characteristic of systems […]

  Immigration is changing Canada. Yet the successful integration of new immigrants is a task rife with challenges. My research will focus on the delivery of services in smaller urban communities as well rural and remote centres, with a specific focus on the South-Okanagan- Similkameen, a region in the southern interior of British Columbia. My […]

Various waves of immigration have altered the profiles of Muslim communities in Alberta demanding a need for better data and information for both short and long term planning of services and infrastructure.  This need poses challenges not only to individual civil society organizations, but also to cross-organization coalitions seeking to build common ground upon which […]

  The increasing demands for ultra-high quality rolled metal strips (e.g. bright-annealed stainless steel) have posed great challenge for online flatness measurement systems. Online flatness measurement is very complex due to the high tension of the rolled strip and the measurement accuracy required. It becomes more difficult with increasing rolling speed and decreasing strip thickness. […]

  This research project represents the next phase in a partnership project between Carleton University and the Batawa Development Corporation to redevelop 1,500 acres of land in Batawa, Ontario, as a model community and an international example of social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Interns will consolidate research to date on innovative forms and applications of building information modelling and […]

The City of Edmonton is currently in need of an automatic passenger counting (APC) system for its Light Rail Transit (LRT). An APC will help the City with various decisions making. In this proposal we focus on automatic video processing to count passengers boarding and alighting from LRT. The proposed system is simple – it […]

  The purpose of this project is to determine the extent to which a cooperative interest exists between the owners and operators of transportation and parking services in Downtown Vancouver to coordinate mobile payment and electronic wayfinding technologies. The researcher will interview service providers with a mind towards identifying advantages and disadvantages from the service […]

  Toronto’s CN Tower is the world tallest freestanding tower structure. Built between 1973 and 1975, this giant communication and observation tower represents the extensive design process that lasted six years. The structural design of the Tower was one of the major challenges of design process. The structure has been designed based on the latest […]

  The existing systems count the number of vehicles on the road by measuring the number of air pressure spikes experienced by a rubber tube that lies across the road. This project aims to improve this system by analyzing the pressure signal to determine the type of vehicle and its speed. The knowledge of the type of vehicle […]

  The goal of this project is to describe the current state of river restoration practice, focusing on the application of geomorphic principles utilized in the design process, in the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) in Ontario, Canada.  The proposed research will review design drawings, supporting documentation and other relevant data.  In addition to […]
