  • Research Board Minutes
    Research Board Minutes Date: January 27, 2021 Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Place: Google Meets Attendees: K. Atkinson, B. Chang, C. Davidson, A. Eamer, G. Edwards, S. Forrester, J. Freeman, L. Jacobs (Chair), M. Lemonde, S. Rahnamayan, L. Roy, V. Sharpe (secretary), A. Slane Guest(s): Regrets: 1. Approval of the agenda Approved by consensus. 2. Approval of previous meeting’s minutes Approved by consensus. 3. Report of the Vice President Research & Innovation Canada Research Chairs - L. Jacobs shared that both our CRC applications have been approved. He thanked Laura Rendl, Jenn Freeman and the Dean’s offices in FBIT and FEAS as well as individual faculty members for the immense work that went into the applications. There is currently an embargo on releasing the names of the CRCs but we are able to share internally that the FEAS Tier 1 is starting May 1 and the FBIT Tier 2 is starting on June 1. Many people have made significant moves to get them involved in the university research enterprise already. The Tier 1 is already integrated into a number of diverse initiatives including our partnership with the University of Miami. We have plans to get the Tier 2 involved in a number of projects such as project arrow and cybersecurity initiatives. It would be ideal to have them ready to hit the ground running when they start at the university. ACTION: If you have ideas about where they might fit in with your research or your faculty’s research reach out to L. Jacobs and he can connect you.

  • MRS Prerequisite: Physics
    MRS Prerequisite: Physics Undergraduate courses which are equivalent to U of T’s PHY131H1 (Introduction to Physics I) or courses that include topics such as classical kinematics and dynamics, energy, force, angular momentum, oscillations and/or waves will usually be sufficient to satisfy the Physics prerequisite requirement. To determine course equivalencies, please refer to U of T’s Transfer Explorer tool: http://transferex.utoronto.ca. Please note that courses intended for non-scientists with a focus on general concepts of Physics (or astronomy) will not typically provide an adequate foundation for the MRS Program and therefore are not considered appropriate for admission purposes. Prerequisite courses must be part of (or transferable to) an undergraduate degree program; we are not able to consider diploma or certificate program courses for admission purposes. Listed below are popular Physics courses that are appropriate for admission purposes. If you have completed, or plan to complete, a course not listed below (or not equivalent to a course listed below), please forward the course code and course syllabus (if available) to [email protected] for review.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 25, 2021 ONTARIO TECH STUDENT UNION ESPORTS JOINS PREMIER ONTARIO COLLEGIATE LEAGUE Provides students with greater scholarship opportunities OSHAWA, ON — The Ontario Tech Student Union (OTSU), the organization representing over 10,000 students that attend Ontario Tech University, today announced that OTSU Esports has joined Ontario Post-Secondary Esports (OPSE), the preemi- nent league for collegiate-level esports in Ontario. Beginning in September 2021, OTSU Esports will be a member of the 2021/2022 OPSE league, competing in all five of the league’s games: Hearthstone, League of Legends, Overwatch, Rocket League, and Valorant. OTSU Esports joins other top universities in Ontario who compete in the OPSE, including, Carleton University, Trent University, and the University of Windsor, all vying for five titles and $30,00 0 in scholarships. “We’re so excited to see OTSU Esports enter this league just one year after being formed — it’s truly a testament to just how fast our community is growing and evolving,” said OTSU President, Josh Sankaralal. “Esports teams have quickly become a mainstay for many university campuses across Canada in the last couple years, and the OTSU is absolutely thrilled to be competing among the best of them and contributing to the industry’s growth.” The OTSU’s esports community started as a campus club that grew into a fully-fledged service after the pandemic forced classes to be offered virtually in 2020 and has since grown to include over 60 varsity players, a Discord following of nearly 1000, and is actively competitive in eight games.

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 15% of the global population lives with disability in some form. This minority is vastly diverse, encompassing physical, developmental, learning, and psychiatric conditions. Across this wide range of embodied differences, people with disabilities share in common needs related to health care support and accommodations in the community, and histories of discriminatory treatment. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, the three main causes of disability throughout the world are low back pain, headache disorders and depressive disorders.
