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.

State Model Diagrams for Teaching Networking – a SOLO Based Evaluation

and
27 July, 2016
The Cisco Network Academy Program is the world’s largest network technology curriculum with over 500,000 students’ worldwide. An analysis of this curriculum found that it did not provide students with a diagrammatic model that is consistent throughout the curriculum. Without such a model students develop their own which is likely...Read More

Resistance of high-performance fiber-reinforced cement composites against high-velocity projectile impact


11 May, 2016
This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the performance of seven high-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based composites against high velocity projectile impact (HVPI). The materials investigated involved four fiber-reinforced high-strength concretes (FRHSCs) with 28-day compressive strengths ranging from about 60 to 140 MPa, two strain hardening cement-based composites (SHCCs), and a fiber-reinforced high-strength mortar...Read More

Effect of force profiles of different electrode actuation systems to weld strength


1 January, 2016
Studies were carried out on the force profiles of the pneumatic electrode actuation system and servo electrode actuation system to analyse their effects on weld strength. The studies were carried out at three different locations of the weld lobe; below the lower limit, between the lower limit and upper limit...Read More

The role of communications and standardization in wind power applications – A review


11 November, 2015
Harvesting energy from the wind as an alternative to fossil fuels has many advantages in terms of protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. However, the increasing penetration of wind power in electrical networks presents many challenges such as the intermittency of wind power, its relative high cost as compared to conventional sources, and...Read More

Structure design and manufacturing of layered bioceramic scaffolds for load-bearing bone reconstruction


8 July, 2015
Bioceramic scaffolds with desired bone regeneration functions have the potential to become real alternatives to autologous bone grafts for reconstruction of load-bearing and critical-sized segmental bone defects. The aim of this paper was to develop a layered scaffold structure that has the biodegradable function of common monolithic scaffolds and adequate...Read More

Influence of jet–jet interaction on droplet size and jet instability in immiscible liquid–liquid system


13 November, 2014
This work investigates the effects of multiple jet interactions and single jet instability on jet breakup and droplet size using experimental and computational techniques. In particular, the jet separation distance, jet breakup length and droplet diameter were measured as a function of initial nozzle separation distance and jet volumetric flow...Read More

Influence of Microwaves on the Water Surface Tension


7 August, 2014
In this study, microwave irradiation was applied to hanging droplets of both water and ethylene glycol. Once the irradiation had ceased and the droplet was allowed to return to its original temperature, it was found that the surface tension of ethylene glycol returned to its original value. In contrast, the...Read More

Effect of Force Control during Spot Welding on Weld Properties


1 August, 2014
Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) is a process that is widely used in the automotive industries. The parameters that are used to develop a spot weld are the welding current, weld time and electrode force. Electrode force was not used as a control parameter due to the use of pneumatic system...Read More
