We are committed to the scholarship of discovery as it contributes to the institution’s academic advancement.

EIT focuses on the delivery of programs relevant to today’s industry needs. Consequently, we seek that our scholar research:

  • includes original research that advances knowledge;
  • synthesizes information across topics, disciplines and/or time; and,
  • is presented in a format that will allow evaluation by others through public sharing.

Furthermore, EIT’s scholar research activities expand to ensure the inclusion of the reality of contemporary life, such as sponsoring technical conferences and events that bring together relevant industry experts and professionals to share their knowledge and industry experience in an effort to advance their particular fields.

Improving Project Management Teaching Using Scaffolding Based on Cladistics Parsimony Analysis


8 April, 2017
There are numerous educational paradigms each with their advocates and critics. The cognitive science approach is based on modelling memory as short term and long term each with their different characteristics. All learning consists of an iterative cycle of assimilate and retrieve between these two types of memory. The objective...Read More

Chatter stability prediction for a flexible tool-workpiece system in a turning process

and
6 March, 2017
The paper focuses on the chatter stability prediction for a flexible tool-workpiece system in a turning process. The dynamic model of the turning process presented here considers two end conditions of the flexible workpiece. Chatter-free (stable) cutting parameters are obtained analytically and stability lobe diagrams (SLDs) of a turning operation...Read More

Effect of high strain rate on compressive behavior of strain-hardening cement composite in comparison to that of ordinary fiber-reinforced concrete


16 January, 2017
This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of high strain rate on the compressive behavior of two strain-hardening cement based composites (SHCCs), compared to that of fiber-reinforced high-strength concretes (FRHSCs) with similar compressive strengths. One of the SHCCs was reinforced with 2% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers by...Read More

Effects of silanes and silane derivatives on cement hydration and mechanical properties of mortars


12 November, 2016
An experimental research was conducted with the objectives to study the effects silanes (amino, vinyl, and epoxy-based) and their derivatives (silane oligomers and silane nanoparticles) on cement hydration and mechanical properties of mortars. Silanes and silane derivatives are used as coupling agents to combine different compositions in mortars and to...Read More

Improving Teaching and Learning Outcomes – A Novel Cognitive Science Approach


8 October, 2016
Three principle approaches to education are behaviorism, constructivism and cognitive science. However beyond that there are a wide and diverse range of methods such as outcomes based education, problem based learning etc. All these approaches and methods have their associated advantages and disadvantages. The effectiveness of the educational process is...Read More
