www.uoit.ca/gradstudies/modelling www.uoit.ca/gradstudies/modellingphd

Why i chose uoit:I chose UOIT for its Materials Science program so I could focus my research on nanotechnology and renewable energy systems. It was an easy choice for me after getting to know my supervisors and understanding that they and most professors are easily accessible and would be readily available to help me. I believed, and still do, that I would be able to learn more, be less restricted and develop my own ideas more effectively than at a large university.

What i like Best aBout my program:The Materials Science program is comprised of a small tight-knit group of students and professors. Collaborations are commonplace and help is always there. The research is fast-paced and demanding. We are competing with much larger research groups, so each student has many more responsibilities and must be flexible and think outside the box. These are some reasons that make the Materials Science program at UOIT great.

current research:nanotechnology for material science in dye sensitized solar cells

Why i chose uoit:I chose UOIT for graduate studies because of the faculty. having earned my undergraduate degree at UOIT, I was already familiar with most of the faculty because they were accessible. I was able to grow and develop as a person during my undergraduate years. As such, I was confident that I would have another great opportunity to grow, learn and develop here.

What i like Best aBout my program:One of the reasons I decided to study social science when I was a teenager was because I wanted to contribute in some way to make the world a better place. The research that is conducted by the faculty has the opportunity to have that impact. There are people researching incarcerated youth, women’s fear of crime, immigrant populations and sexuality, and sex trafficking, just to name a few. All of them are trying to help make a difference and it is that aspect I love best about my program.

Most notably, UOIT has attracted five Canada Research Chairs (CRCs), with another four in development, and six industrial research chairs. This is an outstanding achievement and an excellent reflection of the quality of our faculty and researchers. We are building a culture of innovation by embedding research in core academic activity.

Our undergraduate and graduate students are fully engaged in research under the supervision of our professors who are global experts in their fields. Through our established strong partnerships with business and industry leaders, we provide students with real-world experience. At UOIT, we are focused on transforming ideas into real solutions that will benefit society.

Every research project at UOIT is built on three guiding principles: excellence, innovation and societal impact through the enhancement of the lives of Canadians and local

and national economies. Designed to meet the needs of employers in the surrounding area and throughout Ontario, UOIT research focuses on the following fields:

• Applied Bioscience;• Automotive, Materials and Manufacturing;• Community and Social Wellness;• Information and Communication; and• Sustainable Energy.

In support of these strategic themes, UOIT houses state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities such as the General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE), Energy Systems and nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC), Aquatic Toxicology laboratory, psychology labs, Geoforensic Research Facility, Clean Energy Research laboratory (CERl) and the Educational Informatics laboratory.

research UOIT is one of the most research-intensive universities in Canada. This remarkable success was achieved by focusing on a select number of research areas where UOIT has carved a niche.

Fast FactsACE is equipped with a full range of test chambers that allow for full climatic, durability and lifecycle testing, including one of the largest and most sophisticated climatic wind tunnels in the world. ACE has an area of approximately 16,300 square metres and is divided into two distinct sections: a core research facility and an integrated research and training facility.

Raquel Murray, MSc in Modelling and Computational Science student, class of 2012, was featured on the website of Research Matters, a new provincewide campaign designed to get researchers off their campuses and into communities to talk about the ideas, issues and stories emerging from their research that affect everyday life.

The spectacular ERC is a 9,290-square-metre facility that is the premier training ground for future energy scientists and nuclear engineers. It houses UOIT’s unique-in-Canada engineering programs and research in geothermal, hydraulic, hydrogen, natural gas, nuclear, solar and wind energy technologies.

Dr. Douglas holdway, UOIT’s first-ever Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC), became the university’s first faculty member to have a CRC renewed for a new term. Dr. holdway’s research in Aquatic Toxicology will provide environmentalists with the necessary tools to lessen the impact that toxins have on aquatic life, while developing and applying new biological methods for monitoring and investigating the impact of chemicals in contaminated water on aquatic organisms. The value of the CRC is $1.4 million over a seven-year period through May 2018.

The CERl is used to conduct research on hydrogen production, heat engines and nanotechnology. Researchers are working on the world’s first lab-scale demonstration of a copper-chlorine cycle for thermochemical water splitting and nuclear hydrogen production. hydrogen is a clean energy carrier of the future and a potential major solution to the problem of climate change.

external aWardsExternal awards can provide substantial support to full-time graduate students. If you are a high-achieving student, you are strongly encouraged to apply to both provincial and federal granting agencies for graduate scholarships in the early fall and winter. If you are an international student, you are encouraged to apply to granting agencies in your home country. Some major external awards include, but are not limited to, the following:

Canadian Institutes of health Research (CIhR) scholarships www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca

natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (nSERC) scholarships and fellowships www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca

Social Sciences and humanities Research Council (SShRC) scholarships www.sshrc.ca

Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS) www.uoit.ca/gradstudies

other sources oF FundingBursaries Students who are experiencing financial difficulties face unexpected and significant challenges, which affect not only their academic progress, but also their ability to remain in school. Full-time graduate students can complete an online student financial profile to be considered for financial assistance. Students may be approved for several types of financial support through this application process.

Financing your education www.uoit.ca/gradstudies/funding

Full-time UOIT graduate students in research-based programs are provided with several funding opportunities to help support the cost of their graduate education.

minimum Funding packagesEach research program has a minimum funding level for full-time students, which may be exceeded in a given year and is typically offered for the standard length of the program. The minimum funding may be met through various sources of funding including, but not limited to, entrance scholarships, assistantships and external awards.

entrance scholarshipsThe Office of Graduate Studies offers a limited number of merit-based graduate entrance scholarships to eligible full-time master’s and doctoral students. You are assessed for eligibility if you are receiving an offer of admission, so no application form is required. In the 2012-2013 academic year, the entrance scholarships were valued at $3,000 each.

assistantshipsThe primary sources of funding for graduate students at UOIT are teaching assistantships (TAship), research assistantships (RAship) and/or graduate research assistantships (GRAship), which are available to full-time domestic and international students.

teaching assistantships and research assistantships

TAships and RAships are types of paid employment available to graduate students. Teaching assistants (TA) work under the direction of course instructors and perform various teaching duties. Research assistants (RA) work under the direction of a researcher. This research work is not necessarily directly connected to the student’s own research and program of study.

During the 2012-2013 academic year, a TA/RA with a bachelor’s degree will earn $34 per hour, while a TA/RA with a master’s degree will earn $38 per hour. The terms and conditions of employment for TAs and RAs are governed by the collective agreement between UOIT and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). For more information on the collective agreement, please visit www.uoit.ca/collectiveagreements.

graduate research assistantships

GRAships are integrated into the research programs of one or more professors from funding that is usually obtained through awarded research grants. GRAships support students in research that contributes to the student’s program of study and usually results in a thesis or major project. GRAships are paid periodically throughout the year and there is no hourly rate or any set value.

Why i chose uoit:I chose UOIT for my graduate studies because of its support for primary research in my area of interest - psychology and law. UOIT is home to a contingent of researchers in psychology and law who are active as leaders in their field. I also chose UOIT because as a relatively new university and program, it offered me many opportunities I would not have otherwise had. Attending UOIT has allowed me to contribute to the university, to grow personally and to distinguish myself in ways that may not have been available if I were to attend a larger, older institution.

What i like Best aBout my program:I particularly appreciate the multi-disciplinary and critical focus within the Criminology program. Being faced with differing and critical perspectives has challenged my assumptions and broadened my worldview.Scholarships received:• UOIT Dean’s Graduate Scholarship (valued at $6,000);• Professional Enhancement Funding (valued at $500);• Ontario Graduate Scholarship (valued at $15,000); and• Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Joseph-Armand

Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship (valued at $17,500).
