As part of this conference, students were invited to present research in a creative, concise, fast-paced style called "Pecha Kucha". Judges from acadaemia and industry were recruited to volunteer about 3 hours of their time to learning about this style of presentation, attending 6 presentations of 6 minutes, assessing each presentation using a structured rubric, thoughtfully commenting on the best and worst parts and then submitting this to the organizers. The organizers compared the assessment of the 3 different judges and awarded one student the prize for best Pecha Kucha presentation.Condensing complex research into a 6 minute presentation ensuring it was interesting and understandable was not easy! These students completed a brain-stretching task and the end results were amazing. So much creativity and adaptation was required to stay within the 6 minute limit, keep things fun and not overwhelm the listeners. It was a privilege to assess these presentations and provide feedback that will hopefully help these students present future data in a manner that keeps people entertained rather than overloaded with detail, a serious life skill that researchers everywhere struggle with.

Apply understanding of human capability to the design and development of products, processes and systems, organize equipment field testing, process & report data, develop reccomendations.

Coordinating research with industry to assess manual tasks on an assembly line. Comparing several different methods of measuring grip pressure during static and dynamic tasks. Preparing a summary of current research on the effect of gloves on manual work for industry.

The Sociology of Physical ActivityCompassionately consulted with students who had concerns with the course and the assignments, on a regular basis. Thoughtfully marked essays including comments justifying the grade assigned. Accurately graded midterms and finals, correctly recording and posting grades. As the teaching assistant with the most experience, I guided the other teaching assistants so that our work was completed precisely and in a timely manner.

Planned and conducted experiments to determine methods of keeping food at safe temperatures in different environmental conditions.

Efficiently organized testing schedule to ensure water samples were tested and results available to those outside of the environmental laboratory well before deadlines. Effectively used flame and ion chromatography to detect low levels of major anions and cations in water samples. Precisely analyzed the pH and alkalinity of water using a new test method to determine any statistical differences from the current method.

Efficiently used spectroscopy to measure parameters of beer such as the alkalinity. These characteristics were compared between batches of beer and different to determine trends over time.Accurately analyzed new products produced by competitors to aid Molson in development of a similar product to compete with the new product.Successfully concluded that a proposed procedure for measuring beer foam stability was not effective and would not be a worthwhile investment while working in a… Show more Efficiently used spectroscopy to measure parameters of beer such as the alkalinity.
