Senior Clinic - Year 3
Senior Clinic - Year 3
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.
Design a Solution for Loading and Unloading Lobster Traps
Design a Solution for Loading and Unloading Lobster Traps
Partner: Abegweit First Nation
The residents of Abegweit First Nation own nine fishing boats that are used in both the lobster and crab fisheries. At the beginning and end of each lobster fishing season, several trailer loads (2700 traps in total) of round lobster traps are transported between Scotchfort and the fishing harbours. The student team will design a solution that greatly reduces the manual effort required to load and unload the lobster trap hauling trailer.

Partner: Cavendish Agri Services Limited
The student project team will design a semi-automated filled bag stacker for loading the small fertilizer bags onto a pallet. The objective is to improve both the ergonomics and efficiency of the bag filling line.
Student Team: Daniel Ikpor, Ethan Carragher, Kieran Muse, Remi Antoun, Stephen MacKinnon
Design a Drum Practice Awareness Pad
Design a Drum Practice Awareness Pad
Partner: Creative Performance Labs
The student project team will design a drum practice awareness pad that will record the force in which the practice pad has been hit, create a real-time visual and audio output for the student, keep historical data for playback.
Student Team: Abasiofon Charles, Ahnais Young, Chase MacMillan, Kaitlyn Smith, Tristyn Crawford
Design a Sustainable Propulsion System for a Trawler 420
Design a Sustainable Propulsion System for a Trawler 420
Partner: Custom Advantage Marine
The student project team will consider three alternatives for a more sustainable propulsion system for the Trawler 420. These alternatives include: 1) battery electric, 2) battery/fuel cell/electric, and 3) electric/diesel hybrid. The new system will fit in the current engine compartment and will have a range that allows the vessel to be used in The Great Loop.

Automation of Measuring, Cutting & Closing One End of Mussel Socking
Automation of Measuring, Cutting & Closing One End of Mussel Socking
Partner: GoDeep Shellfish Aqua
This project focuses on automating the preparation process for mussel socks — specifically the measuring, cutting, and sealing of one end of the tubular netting in an effort to reduce manual labour.
Student Team: Morad Rady, Abdul-Basit Emmanuel, Shihonghao Liu, Dwayne Gardiner
Design a Trailer for Lifting an Oyster Barge
Design a Trailer for Lifting an Oyster Barge
Partner: Lennox Island First Nation
The student project aims to design a trailer for retrieving the oyster barge in one foot of water at the shore. The design should allow t the bottom/sides to be accessible so that they can be cleaned while the barge is on the trailer.
Student Team: Ahmed Arab, Eman Kazamel, Omar Hussein, Shehab Elsayed, William Craine
Improving Energy Forecasting for Utility Scale PV
Improving Energy Forecasting for Utility Scale PV
Partner: PEI Energy Corporation
The student project team will design a weather forecasting system to improve energy forecasting for the PEIEC solar facility at Slemon Park. The system will forecast PEIEC solar energy production four hours in advance and will automatically produce daily reports (historical forecast vs actual; four hour forecast). The four hour forecast will allow MECL adequate time to alter electricity orders with NB Power.
Student Team: Yuvraj Singh Gill, Aaron Walsh, Ali Maamoun, Keegan McCardle, Sam Crockett
Design an Energy Efficient In-Line Water Heater
Design an Energy Efficient In-Line Water Heater
Partner: Streamline Heat
The engineering student project team will design and test an in-line water heater Proof-of-Concept, capable of delivering water at set temperatures ranging from ambient to hot (45°C) for a nominal flow of 1 gpm. The goal of the design should be to minimize the water heater size and power consumption.

Student Team: Dunovan McGuire, Manaf Saleh Mohammad Albarari, Oluwatomi Omolokun, Sam Murphy, Tyler Aitken
Design an Automated Cleaning Tank Timing System
Design an Automated Cleaning Tank Timing System
Partner: StandardAero
The student project team will design an automated cleaning tank timing system for all chemical cleaning tanks that will detect that a basket has been lowered into a chemical cleaning tank and begin a timer, detect when a basket has been removed from a chemical cleaning tank and end the timer, and provide a visual indicator to technicians working in the area of the time elapsed.
Student Team: Kareem Mohamed, Ben Reynolds, Nick Blanchard, Liam Greenan, Jack King
