How Indigenous Knowledges and Knowledge Systems Are Centered in Research
Our intention is to synthesize and amplify how IK have been centered in research, across multiple disciplines and geographies, to benefit Indigenous Peoples. We focus on nurturing and fostering ways of doing Indigenous research and including IK in a way that supports the well-being of Indigenous Peoples
Professional integration as a boundary crossing
This work examines the qualifications recognition and career development experiences of internationally educated engineers (immigrants to Canada) through the interaction of boundary crossing and liberal fairness ideals embedded in the qualifications recognition process. The work explored how immigrant engineers experienced boundary crossing, evidence for learning at the boundary, and the dynamic tension between immigrant engineers' personal trans…
A mHealth Application for Chronic Wound Care
This paper reports on the findings of a user trial of a mHealth application for pressure ulcer (bedsore) documentation. Pressure ulcers are a leading iatrogenic cause of death in developed countries and significantly impact quality of life for those affected. Pressure ulcers will be an increasing public health concern as the population ages. Electronic information systems are being explored to improve consistency and accuracy of documentation, im…
Immigrants' integration and career development in the professional engineering workplace in the context of social and cultural capital
Canada increasingly relies on immigrant engineers to address engineering labour market shortages. However, immigrants identify formal recognition of foreign credentials, barriers to professional licensing and obtaining professional work experience as key challenges to their successful integration. Engineering employers similarly identify credentials recognition, related work experience and communication skills as the three key determinants of an …
Impact Assessment of a Microprocessor Animation on Student Learning and Motivation in Computer Engineering
This paper reports on the impact of using custom animation software to teach second/third year computer/electrical engineering students in the microprocessing systems course at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Over the span of 13 years' experience with teaching the course, the difficulties and limitations with conventional lectures and visual aids led to the development of custom animation of the course material to provide an add…
