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.

Porous hydroxyapatite coating on strong ceramic substrate fabricated by low density slip coating-deposition and coating-substrate co-sintering


17 May, 2011
This study aims at developing a process technique, which can deposit porous scaffold-like hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on strong ceramic substrates. As a first trial, micro-porous HA coatings on strong zirconia-based substrates are fabricated by the following technique—consisting of low-density HA-slip coating-deposition on the micro-porous substrates pre-sintered at 900 °C, and coating-substrate co-sintering...Read More

Effect of Specimen Size on Static Strength and Dynamic Increase Factor of High-Strength Concrete from SHPB Test


2 May, 2011
This paper presents an experimental study on effect of specimen size on the static strength and dynamic increase factor (DIF) of plain and fiber reinforced high-strength concrete determined from Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests. Four types of specimens were used to determine the static strength of the concrete including...Read More

A metallurgical study of spot weld growth on mild steel 1mm and 2mm thicknesses


1 January, 2011
Resistance spot welding (RSW) is an essential welding technology today for joining two or more metals in various manufacturing industries. A statistic shows that one metal assembly out of five is joined using resistance spot welding mechanism, commercially. It uses traditionally two electrodes to hold the metal sheets and forces...Read More

Rheological and molecular properties of organic peroxide induced long chain branching of recycled and virgin high density polyethylene resin


21 May, 2009
Commercial blow molding grade recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE) and blow molding grade virgin high density polyethylene (V-HDPE) were reactively extruded with various compositions (0.00–0.15% wt/wt) of different peroxides in a twin screw extruder. The aim was to produce the extended chain mechanism of a blow molding grade HDPE photopolymer—a...Read More
