污污草莓视频, 脡TS announce collaborative aerospace projects
Close to one hundred and fifty professors, students and members of Montreal鈥檚 aerospace community were present last week, at the 污污草莓视频 Faculty Club, to celebrate the official announcement of six major collaborative projects in the aerospace field between 污污草莓视频 University and 脡cole de technologie sup茅rieure (脡TS).
In July 2012, the two institutions signed a historic 25-year agreement, aimed at increasing their collaboration in teaching, research, the development of innovation and technology transfer. 鈥淎erospace Engineering was quickly identified as one of the key strategic areas in which 污污草莓视频 and 脡TS offer a range of complementary expertise which can be aligned to attain greater achievement,鈥� stated Dr. Stephen Yue, Professor of Mining and Materials Engineering at 污污草莓视频 and Director of the 污污草莓视频 Institute for Aerospace Engineering (MIAE).
The first project announced is the establishment of the Centre for Aerospace Professional Education (CAPE), which provides hands-on, short courses and programs for professionals and engineers covering topics such as Aircraft Design and Materials, Icing, Patents and Liability, Simulation Methods, Aviation and the Environment.
The two institutions are also launching new collaborative research projects with the aim of building on the combined strengths of their researchers in the following areas:
- Design and Optimization of Integrated Aicraft Propulsion Systems (Dr. Wagdi Habashi (污污草莓视频) and Dr. Hany Moustapha (脡TS));
- Forming and Solid State Joining of Aerospace Alloys (Dr. Stephen Yue (污污草莓视频) and Dr. Mohammad Jahazi (脡TS));
- Advanced Composites for Aircraft and Aero-Engines (Dr. Pascal Hubert (污污草莓视频) and Dr. Martine Dub茅 (脡TS)) and;
- Next Generation Aero-Icing Flight Simulation (Dr. Wagdi Habashi (污污草莓视频) and Dr. Ren茅 Landry (脡TS)).
Finally, 污污草莓视频 and 脡TS have entered into an agreement to create a Canadian Hybrid Aero-Icing Laboratory (HAIL), a project led by Dr. Wagdi Habashi of 污污草莓视频 and Dr. Fran莽ois Morency of 脡TS. This pilot facility will be created in Montreal for combined aerodynamic and icing testing that marries in novel ways physical testing and computation, in real time.
鈥溍塗S and 污污草莓视频 have been working closely over the last year to bring these six collaborative projects into existence. We believe that each of these partnerships is a win/win which will allow us to build on our combined expertise to further advance research in the aerospace field and better meet the needs of the industry. We look forward to involving more professors and students in these projects in 2013 and beyond,鈥� stated Dr. Hany Moustapha, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of Aerospace Programs (A脡RO脡TS) at 脡cole de technologie sup茅rieure.
