More about Research in Additive Manufacturing and Prototyping (RAMP)

  • The RAMP team is capable of designing, modelling, and creating physical prototypes using digital technologies including an array of 3D printing and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment in the lab. Current research interests include leveraging additive manufacturing to produce prototypes for products and automation across a range of industries. Expertise includes engineering design and project management, embedded hardware and software systems, communications systems, additive manufacturing (industrial 3D printing), CAD, CAM, CNC, and internet of things (IoT).

More about the Simulation Centres

  • The Simulation Centers’ progressive programming provides students with two distinct learning environments, a hospital lab and a technical lab, that help students to practice and improve their patient assessment and care skills.
  • Hospital lab (Low fidelity unit)
    • In the hospital lab, students learn specific skills such as how to make a bed, change a dressing, assess heart and lung sounds and administer medication. Once students learn a specific number of skills, they progress to the technical labs.
  • Technical lab (High fidelity unit)
    • In the technical lab, students receive a specific patient situation that challenges them to incorporate their skills and knowledge to determine the best treatment for their simulated patient. Students work with robotic mannequins operated by a simulation technician that provides vocal, audio and visual cues that are appropriate for the scenario. These robotic patients can speak, blink, breathe, bleed and even give birth to a baby. Students may also work with a trained patient actor who carries out a specific role in a situation, as either the patient, family member, visitor or bystander.
