Project Start Date: September 2016 Project End Date: April 2017
Are you interested in working with Electrical Engineering Technology student teams? The Electrical Engineering Technology program invites industry partners to participate in our experiential (work-integrated) learning as part of a college curriculum. Our program is hosting in-class client projects with the Office of Applied Research & Innovation (ARI) over a two semester period during the fall and winter semesters. Working in small teams, students engage in a research project.
Experience with practical projects provides students with learning opportunities to gain insight and experience, thereby making the connection to industry. Through collaborative participation in applied research projects, students work towards solutions using project management methodologies in real-world workplace environments.
The ability to identify and satisfy all stakeholder expectations is essential in successful product development. Students work in consultation with faculty and external stakeholders to create deliverables by monitoring and controlling the project resources. The solutions developed are defended in formal oral and written presentations.
Electrical Engineering Technology students can build a prototype or a testing procedure to answer a question or solve a problem. Students provide a detailed technical report on every aspect of the system and all project results are owned by the client.
There are 10 projects needed to start in September.
EXAMPLE 1: Design and testing of a device to automatically close blinds when outdoor light levels reach a certain limit.
EXAMPLE 2: Create new CAD designs using tools and equipment from ARI (3D scanners, printers, thermal cameras, etc.) to model existing spaces and components.
EXAMPLE 3: Install sensors and analyze data to determine the present energy consumption used in a process, or at a site, and make recommendations to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Are you interested in working with Bachelor of Building Science student teams? The Bachelor of Building Science program invites industry partners to participate in our experiential (work-integrated) learning as part of a college curriculum. Our program is hosting in-class client projects with the Office of Applied Research & Innovation (ARI) over a two semester period during the fall and winter semesters. Working individually or in small teams, students engage in a research project that contributes to the body of knowledge in applied building science. Students focus on the choice of topic, the design of the project, the development of the project proposal, and preliminary research and testing.
Students will need to make use of all the fundamentals, tools and engineering principles learned throughout the program. More specialized needs in knowledge/equipment and tools will be defined next term. Below is a list of project proposals, we hope for industry to mold and shape the focus of the projects to steer towards a final outcome that is of their interest. General feedback on the progress would also be expected throughout the process. In some cases, in kind donation of material/testing equipment may be required.
Post Occupancy Energy Performance of a Single-Family Passive House and a MURB Passive Building
Reducing thermal bridging at cantilever and canopies with the use of emerging technologies
Thermal performance of wool insulation made with recycled plastic and Styrofoam
Impact of dynamic windows and window films in the hydrothermal performance of the building envelope
Examination of the most important durability considerations impacting precast concrete cladding performance
Sensitivity Analysis of the Multi-criteria used for Optimizing the Renovation of Buildings, an Energy Perspective

The Office of Applied Research and Innovation is looking for volunteer judges for the Applied Research Day competition on April 15th, 2016.
Every year, student teams work on applied projects in which they apply knowledge and skills acquired through their field of study. The majority of these projects are showcased on the main Applied Research Day event in April each year. Read more >
Check out this amazing video created by Interactive Media Design students for their Project Development course. This course allowed students to work with real clients, such as Carrot Explains. This project won first place at Applied Research Day in December 2015, capturing the hearts of many visitors and judges.
The global Juniper Networks Academic Alliance (JNAA) program in partnership with CENGN and the University of Ottawa is offering students the opportunity to be come JNCIA trained and certified – for FREE.
This program is being offered at no cost to post secondary students and faculty. The course has been designed for networking, engineering, and computer science students with beginner/intermediate knowledge of networking.
The first three days are Juniper instructor-led training that combines content from the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) and Junos Routing Essentials (JRE) classes to provide students with an understanding of the Junos OS, networking fundamentals, and basic routing and switching. On the fourth day students will take the JNCIA-Junos certification exam, one of the fastest growing networking certifications in the industry.
The program will be held at the University of Ottawa on Feb 16-19, 2016 – it is open to all students including Algonquin and Carleton students.

We are making the papers! In our college’s very own Algonquin Times newspaper. Fun fact, Algonquin Times was recognized as Canada’s #1 Campus Newspaper in 2015, so we are honoured to be included in the pages!
In the Nov 12, 2015 issue…
On page 4, you can read about our collaboration with GaitTronics and how this project (and many other projects!) has helped us retain our rankings as one of the top research colleges in Canada. If you didn’t know about that, you can read about it here.
On page 16, you can learn about GymTrack and the progress it has made and how they will be taking their innovative technology to the next level. We truly appreciate their continuous collaboration with the Algonquin College community.
