W Booth School of Engineering Practice & Technology 2022 Annual Report

Residency Model New Streams & Ways of Learning

Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering: Biomanufacturing Stream

In June, Dr. Fei Geng launched a Biomanufacturing Stream in our Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering. This innovative graduate program combines a foundation in biomanufacturing, bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical theory with experiential learning in many areas including cell and gene therapy. The interdisciplinary curriculum includes academic courses in science and business along with professional training through case study projects. The program also includes professional skills training in effective oral, electronic, and written communications for futures in both technical and business careers. Biomanufacturing students will develop and run live upstream and downstream bioprocessing projects to completion, using industry-standard equipment in a simulated cGMP environment These projects will provide an insight in advanced cell therapeutics, novel vaccine design and large-scale production, as well as in the standardization of biomanufacturing processes.

The Residency Model of education was rolled out in the W Booth School’s Software Engineering Technology program in Fall 2022 by Dr. Seshasai Srinivasan, Dr. Jeff Fortuna and Dr. Marjan Alavi. In this pedagogical innovation, the courses in this program are graded as pass/fail, abolishing the letter grades. The pedagogical evolution aims to put learning at the centre of the education process, providing our students a transformational education experience.

June 15, 2022 January 2023 15

The Residency Model is being implemented after much deliberation and consideration of various aspects such as the quality of education and the increasing stress and health challenges for our students. This pedagogical leap is expected to foster exploratory learning, promote student health and wellbeing, and ultimately result in a better educated and enlightened citizenry who will play a critical role in leading and advancing our society. We believe that by adopting this progressive measure, we will significantly improve the quality and reputation of our program, ultimately benefitting our students.

A conveyor system was purchased to implement an automated handling system that moves materials from one point to another, allowing us to move towards automation reposition at work stations.

Purchased from Rockwell Automation, a manufacturing execution system software was also implemented to manage the process and planning for manufacturing.

The W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology’s Learning Factory is a world-class facility that simulates the factory of the future. Located in the basement of ETB, the Learning Factory was originally designed to introduce advanced manufacturing technologies to students and industry partners and provide the opportunity to work on hands-on projects to improve individual manufacturing processes.

In January- Dr.Tom Wanyama secured $250K support from the Dean's Fund, for his vision of a fully integrated Learning Factory. The focus has been moved away from manufacturing to products and process design.

In addition to the above, numerous purchases were made to improve the learning opportunities for our students, not only within the Booth School, but also within the Faculty of Engineering.

Dr. Mostafa Soliman continues to develop a digital twin of The Learning Factory, so that students can efficiently simulate facility operations for a wide range of system configurations and manufacturing objectives.

In the Fall, we published our 2021 Annual Report- Community Engaged Project Learning.

The report documents our community-engaged project learning over the past year and forms a central part of our practice-based education portfolio. The work would not be possible without the dedicated involvement of faculty, staff, students, and community partners. Of course, we cannot overlook the commendable efforts of Salman Bawa and Richard Allen.

Read the 2021 Annual Report- Community Engaged Project Learning here

"It's exciting to see a growing number of our school’s community-engaged projects clustering around complex challenges of societal importance, including climate change, innovations in digital healthcare, smart systems, and livable communities. This enables project teams to look into the future and contribute to new and emerging bodies of knowledge and practice. Projects focused on improving the human experience and framed in the context of creative problem-solving help define the W Booth School approach to experiential education. We look forward to incorporating additional areas of concentration, including biomanufacturing and renewable energy."

“Our Community Engaged Project Learning report showcases what we set to achieve since its inception – easing the students’ transition to employment through an interactively focused community engagement. The dedicated participation and committed involvement from our industries, our municipalities, our healthcare institutions, and our not-forprofits is the backbone of our work. Topped with McMaster faculty expertise, the students are presented with a unique opportunity to grow in networking, in technical expertise, in project management, in communication, and in the development of community-valued soft skills through practice via their projects. The experiences gained throughout their project journey prepares the students for the world beyond graduation, equipping them with the tools to ease their transition to employment.”

At a Glance

Pioneered by the W. Booth School, Practicebased Learning offers an engaging educational framework where students learn in active partnerships with experienced faculty members, external experts and stakeholders, in addition to student colleagues from around the world. Student experiences are not only dynamic and practical, they also integrate the best practices and ideas from non-technical fields such as business, health sciences, public policy, the creative arts, and an extensive range of contemporary technology specializations.

Community Engaged Project Learning

Over the past few years, the Booth School have been collaborating with Peter French(Rotarian, Mechanical Engineer and Community Partner) & students to create, test, build and implement a way for People in Uganda to produce wheelchairs using local materials while at the same time expanding the local workforce. What started as a sketch on paper has led to a turnkey CNC factory in a box to empower manufactures in Uganda to build their own wheelchairs .The manufacturing and training of the prototype wheel chairs was supported by the Future Skills Funding received by Ishwar Singh. The project came to completion in November. More details to come in the new year!

Collaborations

The Erasmus+ Programme is an initiative launched by the European Commission to fund mobilities among EU countries and between Programme Countries (EU countries) and Partner Countries. It was launched for the period 2014-2020 and, every year, a new call for proposals will be open with the aim to promote socio-economic changes, the key challenges that Europe will be facing until the end of the decade and to support the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, jobs, social equity and inclusion. This year, Dr. Marjan Alavi and Dr. Faiez Alani took part in the Erasmus Staff Mobility Programme, teaching in Italy and Spain respectively.

"I think international experience is necessary in today’s world, and the earlier our students start their trips, the better for them. Erasmus gives us a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to make great memories for the rest of our lives. McMaster University is in beautiful Hamilton, with great nature near to Niagara Falls. Ontario has a multicultural society and visiting students will get familiar with several foods and cultures by visiting McMaster University. We have great labs and facilities which would provide a great educational experience to European students." Dr. Marjan Alavi

" My staff mobility to the University of Almeria (UAL) under Erasmus + program was during the period May 30 to June 3, 2022. It was a very good opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas on the undergraduate and postgraduate students’ mobility between the department of chemical engineering at UAL and the biotechnology program at SEPT particularly, with the new M. Eng program in Biomanufacturing & Industrial Biotechnology (BioMIB) at McMaster University" Dr. Faeiz Alani
