Cool Runnings
The Cool Runnings portable ice bath is to be used conveniently in any household bathroom as a personal recovery tool for athletes.
Aerodynamic Hardware
The Aerodynamic Hardware team has designed and built a variable angle automotive spoiler that improves the handling of a car by producing aerodynamic down force on rear wheels.
Cooling Motorcyclist Jacket
Modern motorcyclists are faced with a tough decision while riding in warm climates: wear heavy, insulating protective gear and be uncomfortably warm, or risk personal safety and ride in lighter clothing. Cooling Motocyclist Jacket is a protective jacket that regulates its own temperature and keeps the rider at a comfortable temperature.
Forklift Safety
The Forksafe system is a retrofitable system which is designed to warn operators of forklifts of an impending tip-over, to permit them to react in time and stop the tip.
Spot Finder
Spot Finder is able to transmit parking space availability to driver’s mobile phone, allowing them to plan their trip prior to departure, or find the nearest, cheapest or most available parking at that moment.
Door Lock
Our remote door lock control device allows the user to securely and wirelessly communicate with their door lock using an Android smart phone.
SafeShop
The SafeShop system is an economically advantageous and non-destructive safety system that prevents operator injuries due to unintentional blade contact. This system is made up of a sensory and a blade retraction mechanism.
Medical Gas Flow Sensor and Alarm
Oxygen tanks run out on patients during transport and/or ambulatory procedures, and often no one will notice until patients are in medical distress. A medical gas flow-rate sensor and associated alerting system notifies a medical professional when there is any degradation in oxygen flow.
Super Crutch
Our Super Crutch is a more ergonomically safe and convenient way for recovering patients to ascend and descend a flight of stairs.
Thermal Energy Recovery Stirling Engine
The primary application of our Stirling Engine will be to power a cooling fan for the CPU, creating an attractive, compact solution that reduces the computer’s total power draw. As the CPU heats up, the Stirling powered fan will rotate faster, thus maintaining the temperature of the CPU at an ideal equilibrium.
The Wireless Charging Mouse Pad
The Wireless Charging Mouse Pad is a convenient device that has the ability to charge a wireless computer mouse while being used on its mouse pad.
Hi-Tide Goggles
The Hi-Tide Goggles team hopes to produce a proof of concept device that eliminates condensation through the use of electrically conductive glass elements.
Self-Adjusting Boat Buoy
When tides change, anchored boats tend to wander from their intended position due to slack in the anchor chain. Our self-adjusting boat buoy resolves this problem by varying the length of the anchor chain according to the tides.
CableCam
Market cable-cams are high cost systems designed for large and expensive video cameras: inaccessible and impractical for the amateur DIY market.
BeCool
BeCool is the solution to keeping the interior of a vehicle cool while parked so you can return to your vehicle with a comfortable interior temperature.

Snowboarding Air Bag
Snowboarders doing aerobatic stunts can sustain serious injuries when landing on hard snow. A group of four fourth-year IGEN students (Andy Nairn, Will Morris, Steven Slen, and Aaron Coret, respectively circled in the picture above) decided that an air-filled landing pad was the answer.
Bidirectional Dynamic Hydrofoil
The competitive sailboat racing industry is constantly looking for innovative methods of increasing boat speed.
Human-powered Generator
Design a small-scale generator system that converts human energy into electricity in order to power a light for working or reading, using materials that are typically available in developing countries.
Remote Water Sampling Device
To determine the water quality of a lake or river, water samples must be collected from a variety of locations and depths to account for effects due to naturally occurring stratification. Environment Canada invites proposals for a prototype remote water sampling device which can collect a 200 ml water sample from a location up to 50 ft from shore and up to 10 ft below the surface.
Weigh Scale for the West Coast Trail
Bridges and cable trams on West Coast Trail can fail if overloaded. The weight of a hiker and his/her pack could overstress a crossing. Design and build a weigh scale to be placed at either side of bridges and cable trams on the West Coast trail. The scale must be accurate, lightweight (someone has to carry it in), and cheap (lot of crossing points).
