Experience scope
Categories
Data analysis Product or service launchSkills
coding data analysis research literature review physicsOur students are 3rd and 4th year projects in our unique Physics for Modern Technology program. This is a 1 semester course where students work on individual projects in physics and technology (ideally with a focus on R&D). This year we are particularly looking focusing on projects involving computer modelling, simulation or data analysis. Students would generally work on their own consulting regularly with members of your team and having weekly project meetings we the rest of the class to discuss progress and brainstorm ideas.
Learners
The final project deliverables will include:
- Documentation for the design of the system.
- Multiple mid-term project check in presentations
- Recommendations and implementation plan
- A final report.

Project Examples
Requirements
Does your organization have any industrial problem? Our students are excited to help your industry look for solutions via computer modelling and literature reviews of the underlying physics associated with your problem.
Students will have had experience in Python, C programming, micro-controller programming. They will all have extensively used MatLab. A number of our students will have had exposure to AutoCAD. Students have conducted circuit analyses using MultiSim.
Each individual student may have additional skillsets given their own interests and are able to learn related programs.
The project should be self-contained and moderately challenging, while being able to be completed within the 3 month timescale. It should have a strong physics/engineering component.
In the past, projects have been experimental by nature. Past projects examples are:
1) Numerical modelling of fluid flow in engine manifolds
2) Development of a wireless sensor network for agriculture
3) Computer simulation of artificial neurons
4) Compensating optics and image processing for ghost reflections in machine vision
