The current standard practice for intubation during anesthesia is to insert the endotracheal tube (ETT)  and inflate the cuff until a seal has formed. Alongside PEI Anesthesia Innovations, this project’s goal is to create a novel ETT cuff that measures the pressure applied to the inner trachea wall during intubation, creating a safer, quantifiable method of inflating the ETT cuff during intubation.

The TrashTech project centred around developing a reduction-focused domestic waste management product. It aims to conduct waste classification using machine vision, weight sensing, and meaningful data communication to users through a web application, much like Fitbit’s functionality and related smartphone application.

Student Team: Ben Keizer, Tung Nguyen, SoumyaDeep Chowdhury, Luke McCarvill

Bait Masters, the project partner, are looking for an additional tank to hold 20,800 lbs and to reduce physical labour, energy usage and water waste. The team has developed an innovative rainfall solution to allow them to store the lobsters on pallets to be loaded/unloaded using a pallet jack.

Student Team: Jerry Oriade, Victoria Yates, Taylor Gallant

In this project, the team has developed an electric cart to increase the sustainability of strawberry harvesting while reducing worker fatigue. The partners for this project are Aspin Kemp and Associates Inc. and Michael Glover, a PEI strawberry farmer.

The project partner, Cavendish Farms, produces digestate as a byproduct of their biogas plant. The goal of this project is to recommend a method for producing a pellet product that maintains the original nutrient contents of the digestate and to assess its applicability as fertilizer or a fuel source.

Student Team: Spencer Swaine, Jonathan Rodriguez, Tobe Igwe, Jake Larsen

Retyre, the project partner, has tasked the team with developing an automated method for safely disassembling lithium-iron-phosphate batteries. The team has developed a process integrating a PLC, a 3-axis gantry system, and a temperature monitoring system to protect against thermal runaway of the battery.

Student Team: Aly Abdelhaliim, Basil Nagy, Bassel Mohamed, Iphis Fanoudh, Rosaline Antoun

Cavendish Farms has tasked the team with optimizing freshwater usage in critical plant areas by integrating efficient water purification systems and eliminating the need for post-production settling ponds.

Student Team: Hamza Ben Driouech, Chiagozi David-Osuagwu, Khaled Younes, Rhea Gallant

The team was tasked by their partner, CANSOFCOM, with the creation of a flyable test-bed platform that can facilitate the implementation of various types of drone configurations. For this project, two polar-opposite configurations were chosen to cover a wide range of drone designs. The two configurations chosen were a forward prop fixed-wing configuration and a rear prop delta-wing configuration.
