University of Ontario Institute of Technology Employer Reviews

I have learned a lot about the safety requirements of an automobile as well as the amount of danger drivers and passengers are faced with when travelling. Safety in cars has improved a lot over the last decade, but there is still a lot of room for improvement to ensure the safety of our families and loved ones when travelling in a vehicle.

The job is to program the embedded system for the parallel kinematic manipulator CNC machine located in the lab. I had to measure and calibrate the linear actuators and put the data on the system for inverse kinematics calculation. The associates working in the lab were supportive and helped me through some challenging moments. I also created a virtual – more... model of the CNC machine with Solidworks and output it into the Mechanical tool box on Matlab for HMI simulation. – less

As a student I did not expect them to be so helpful in finding me a research position and allowing me to contribute.

Working at UOIT was a great experience! There were so many different aspects of forensic science that I used with every day. A typical day would be:

-supervise labs and help students with any questions they have
-show – more... students how certain lab equipment works (RT-PCR, ABI 3130, fingerprint development chamber)
-clean up lab and prepare for the afternoon group
-labs ranged from microscopy and pipetting to DNA extractions and processing evidence

My duties as an intern were to design simulation environment of a grid connected solar panel system and working in a team of engineers was a great learning experience.

UOIT is one of the respected growing universities in Ontario. I am glad that I was a part of the research team at some point in time. Faculty and staff are very supportive
