Senior Clinic - Year 4
Senior Clinic projects are completed by third and fourth year students. Projects typically include design and optimization of systems in a wide variety of applications but must be related to renewable energy; bioresources; sensors, optics, and imaging; robotics and industrial automation; or, advanced manufacturing and often involve building and testing a physical prototype.
Project: Design of a Dynamometer Combined with Testing Protocols and Procedures and Data Acquisition Tools for a Tow Tank
Partner: Aspin Kemp & Associates (AKA)
Design and construct a tow tank dynamometer and develop software to record experimental data in the comparison of different scaled vessel designs.
Student Team: Mohammad Dalbah, Nelson Edomobi, Adam Bennett, Max Gingras, Carly Connell
Breakout Room: Year 4 - Team 1
Project: CubeSat - Communication and Data Handling
Partner: Canadian Space Agency
Design and test for a space station UHF antenna and ground station infrastructure to facilitate satellite-to-ground communications.
Student Team: Stirling MacPherson, Cole Hawes, Roger Irakoze, Darvin Patel, Eagan Boire
Breakout Room: Year 3 - Team 2
Project: CubeSat - Detailed Mechanical Design and Payload
Partner: Canadian Space Agency
Build upon existing CubeSat structural plans to refine the design, conduct simulations, and build a prototype structure, as well as advance the testing and detailed design of the optical imaging payload.
Student Team: Erin Pollard-Feehan, Pieter VanLeeuwen, Holden Sheen, Malek Wolters
Breakout Room: Year 3 - Team 3
Project: Co-Generation Feasibility Study
Partner: Cavendish Farms Corporation
Complete a feasibility study to install a combined heat and power (cogeneration) facility to reduce overall operating costs and provide carbon tax savings.
Student Team: Nick van der Velden, Mike Arsenault, Hemisha Bhangeeruthee, Danny Zhang, Hugh MacDonald
Breakout Room: Year 3 - Team 4
Project: Passive Wind Management
Partner: Canadian Special Forces Operation Command (CANSOFCOM)
Explore the feasibility of a passive optical system that uses visible characteristics of air movement and image processing algorithms to estimate wind speeds at large distances.
Student Team: Cory Ramsay, Sara Badr, Rowan Felicite, Aidan Gallant, Morgan Jean
Breakout Room: Year 3 - Team 5
Project: Cavendish Campground NetZero Photovoltaic Project
Partner: Parks Canada
Design a system combining a photovoltaic solar array to generate electricity for the campground and/or for sale to the grid that results in overall electrical efficiency improvements and achieves net zero carbon emissions for the campground.
Student Team: Oladeji James Ladipo, Russell Peden, Marc Gunning, Connor MacEwen, Leslie Noye
Breakout Room: Year 3 - Team 6
