The student project team will design a solution that automates some or all of the double socking process. The automated solution will use the utilities available on the boat i.e. hydraulics.  The students will demonstrate the overall labor savings that the automated solution will provide along with the return on investment (ROI).

Student Team: Jacob Larsen, Ben McQuaid, Brett McQuaid, Bassel Mohamed.

The student project team will design an automated brining process for the hides. The designed solution will include the equipment specification, floor layout, design of the automation and controls, operating costs, and a return on investment (ROI) for brining vs. dry salting the hides.

Student Team: Hamza Ben Driouech, Caleb Dawson, Mason MacDonald, Jason Nieuwhof, Kolby Waugh.

The student project team will identify and validate wireless thermistors/transmitters for use in high humidity environments. In addition, they will configure an interface for these thermistors/transmitters to connect to the existing Data Acquisition System (DAQ).

Student Team: Zainulabdeen Alzubaidi, Nat MacLeod, Mohamed Samir Mohamed, Tung Nguyen, Omar Shaker.

The student project team will summarize the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory for the BAC for current operations, compile relevant GHG historical data and combine with current data to establish trends, prioritize opportunities for the BAC to reduce GHG emissions, work with BAC management to select a design project(s) to reduce GHG, and prepare a five year forecast for BAC GHG emissions that incorporates opportunities for improvement.

Student Team: Haneen Elmarandy, Athul Augustine Kallumkal, Victoria Keefe, Basil Nagy, Ellen O'Reilly.

The student project team will design an automated solution for obtaining and storing the temperature of a shrink-wrapped pallet of frozen product. The solution will contain a user interface and will allow for data transfer to the Cavendish quality control system.

Student Team: Soumyadeep Chowdhury, Eyad Ghanem, Luke McCarvill, Bridget Patterson, Andrew Williamson.

The student project team will design a monitoring system that will collect, store, and present greenhouse data.  The control system will use the monitored data and, using user defined set-points, regulate the greenhouse climate by managing the three heating and cooling sources.

Student Team: Iphis Fanoudh, Evan Hutchinson, Abbygale Lewis-Fox, Spencer Swaine, Khaled Younes.

The student project team will perform an analysis of current net water usage in the production facility and make recommendations to reduce the use of fresh water and minimize waste.

Student Team: Matthew Dreise, Rhea Gallant, Dhruvil Sureshkumar Kanani, Oluwatumininu Oriade, Chiagozi Osuagwu.

The student project team will design a system that optimizes the chemical cleaning operation. The design must meet the given criteria for water quality while minimizing water use, water waste, energy usage, labor input, and consumables.

Student Team: Gayla Cameron, Rutvik Kalpeshbhai Dharsandia, Zahra Fatima, Swosteeka Lamichhane, Michael Oppong-Ampomah.

The project student team will design the layout of a 100 kW solar system on the roof, determine the maximum load rating required for the roof after the panel installation, analyze the structural capacity of the current roof structure, and make recommendations as required.

Student Team: Aly Abdelhalim, Muhammed Sahaf Kanjirampara, Ben Keizer, Rebecca Macintyre, Victoria Yates.

The student project team will complete a mass balance of the brewing process at Upstreet Craft Brewing to determine the quantity of CO2 both produced and consumed in their production process. Based on the quantities determined, the team will research recent technologies in carbon capture and reuse and design a solution for Upstreet.

Student Team: Katherine Abrey, Rosaline Antoun, Taylor Gallant, Liam Murdock, Adiel Rutabana.
