Two-way valorization of blast furnace slag: Synthesis of precipitated calcium carbonate and zeolitic heavy metal adsorbent Rafael Santos, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

A protocol for the parallel production of precipitated calcium carbonate and zeolitic material from blast furnace slag via mineral carbonation and alkaline hydrothermal conversion, respectively, is presented. The performance of the zeolitic material towards nickel adsorption is tested.

Reducing the cost and energy requirement of ethanol recovery using pass-through distillation technologyManju Sunil Varghese, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

Sheridan College and industrial partner Drystill collaborated to conduct a pilot-scale optimization of the pass-through distillation technology’s parameters to remove ethanol from a dilute ethanol- water and an ethanol-broth solution at low temperatures. The highlights of the NSERC Engage project will be displayed on the poster.

CTL TLA3 posters | Enhancement to Unit Operations 2 –ENGI 37798 LabsManju Sunil Varghese, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

Research to enhance the laboratory component of the course Unit Operations 2 (ENGI 37798) was performed as follows: development of a video for the distillation lab; development of the liquid-liquid extraction lab procedure; and investigation of the requirements for implementing electronic lab notebooks.


CTL TLA3 posters | Health assessment lab manual: A guide for Practical Nursing studentsDorothy Ayela, Faculty of Applied Health and Community StudiesMy students always found it challenging and overwhelming to perform a comprehensive, head-to-toe nursing health assessment. Hence, the majority were not engaged in class, struggled with application of theory into practice, and some even skipped class altogether. If practical nursing students engage more consistently in using performance checklists, will they become more engaged in critical thinking and improve their performance in health assessment practice labs?

CTL TLA3 posters | Notes on multitasking, self-directed learning and media-rich curriculumMichael Baker, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences

My inquiry involves the review of academic research and journalistic coverage addressing multitasking, self-directed learning and technology-mediated learning. I apply this to a consideration of the benefits, drawbacks, and practical implications of designing/offering hybrid and online courses in the area of film and media studies.

CTL TLA3 posters | How to make a flipped classroom effectiveBahro Berhan, Pilon School of BusinessThe study investigates the effectiveness of implementing a flipped and blended classroom in a Microeconomics course (ECON10000D). The results of this study indicate that over 40% of students in a flipped scenario come to class unprepared, without reading course notes or watching video lessons. On the other hand it has been found that a blended classroom significantly increases student engagement in class work and group discussion.

CTL TLA3 posters | Case approach to teachingPreet Bhalla, Pilon School of Business

Teaching with case studies continues to be an effective teaching technique for accounting courses because of its applicability to real management situations. It encourages students to be actively engaged in the application of principles, allowing them to develop problem-solving, analysis and decision-making skills in complex situations.

CTL TLA3 posters | Teaching case law in taxation coursesHumayun Chaudhary, Pilon School of BusinessUsually business students don’t pay attention to court cases because they assume that case laws are the domain of law students. I think business students should be familiar with the case laws because court decisions are real applications of The Act. I am proposing to introduce case laws in the taxation courses.

CTL TLA3 posters | Revitalization of the Supply Chain Finance course (MGMT 45001)Peter Cowan, Pilon School of Business

Sheridan is one of very few colleges or universities in Canada that offers a full-term course on Supply Chain Finance. The existing course content needed updating, and new source material was required given the revised course content. Sheridan is now a Canadian leader in this subject matter.

MARKETPLACE | ContinuedAtrium, 1st floor A-wing10:10 - 11:50 a.m.


CTL TLA3 posters | Student resources for capstone projectsJulie Dempsey, Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies

Sheridan has submitted a proposal for a Bachelor of Community Safety degree. Students will be required to complete either a capstone project or thesis in their final year. The purpose of this project is to detail the specific requirements for each course and create resources to support student learning.

CTL TLA3 posters | Using a gamified, scenario-based practical assessment to enhance student engagementJoanne Hodder, Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies

Occupational Health and Safety is a course packed with dry, heavy content regarding legislation and procedure. To increase student engagement and learning, I developed a gamified, scenario-based, practical assessment of the injury investigation process. Students demonstrated an improved understanding of the procedure and increased engagement in the material.

CTL TLA3 posters | Digital applications: A hands-on approach to teaching digital signal processingAlexander Levchenko, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

A practical hands-on approach to teaching digital signal processing (DSP) techniques is presented. It provides immediate visible results of applying theoretical concepts in practice and allows DSP algorithms to be demonstrated in real-time using new low-cost hardware

CTL TLA3 posters | Project-based learning in entry-level Engineering Technology coursesWeijing Ma, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

A circuit design project component was introduced to an entry-level engineering course. We aim to address an important trend in engineering education: project-based learning. Students are able to comprehensively learn, practice, design and test their knowledge. Such a learning environment fosters student creativity in generating solutions for real-life problems.

CTL TLA3 posters | Academic integrity and research workshop for Practical Nursing studentsMichelle Macsai-Mongroo, Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies

All nurses in Ontario must adhere to seven professional standards, including accountability and ethics. If a nursing student is found to be in breach of academic integrity during their educational career, is that nurse more likely to be dishonest after graduation in their practice? Providing a 90-minute workshop on APA style and research skills to first-year students will hopefully help to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

CTL TLA3 posters | Improving student information literacyDouglas Peebles, Pilon School of Business

In order for colleges and universities to turn out graduates who have appropriate, postsecondary levels of information literacy skills, there must be a change in learning. This project provides a means to increase the use of library resources to help affect that change.

CTL TLA3 posters | Reinforcing basic math skills for Computer MathCynthia Sawchuk, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology

This project addresses the poor fundamental skills displayed by students in first-year computer mathematics courses. Many students struggle because they lack the appropriate level of knowledge in exponent arithmetic, polynomial arithmetic, factoring, simplifying expressions and solving sets of linear equations. The project provides resources to help students improve these skills.

Time Is technology always an enabling force? Presenter(s) Faculty/ Department

Room #

1:10 – 1:40 p.m.

The swearing in of the 45th President of the United States must be a great irony for technologists. Could it be that in democratizing the technological tools of creative production, we inadvertently created the million alternative facts and Pepe memes of bias-confirmation, tribalism and culture-jamming we were meant to oppose? Be it resolved: technology is always an ennobling force.
