What the Barrett CTI Offers Faculty

Set Your Students Up for Success

With the resources available at the Barrett CTI, faculty members can help their students get more from their education. They can receive assistance designing and facilitating assignments to provide realistic work experiences and ensure their students are industry ready. In addition to arranging higher learning opportunities, faculty members can mentor students to compete in Skills Varsity competitions at the provincial, national and international levels.

Share Your Valuable Expertise

Faculty members are the cornerstone of successful collaboration at the Barrett CTI. With their years of industry knowledge and expertise, faculty can act as project leads on joint research teams, develop applied research projects, contribute to STEAM outreach endeavors, and more. The partnership between students, industry leaders, and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) would be incomplete without the guidance of skilled faculty members.

Strengthen Your Skills and Connections

Collaborating at the Barrett CTI allows faculty members to stay actively engaged in their field while overseeing the success of their students. Faculty can use the centre’s resources to pursue their own research interests, engage in community development, and strengthen their professional network with projects that spark innovation. Faculty can foster their own skills by attending professional development workshops and partner hosted events to learn more about upcoming industry trends and new technologies.

What Faculty Are Saying

“The Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation has been beneficial to the faculty members and students in the Film and Television Production Program. The CTI facilities offer a wide range of resources, such as the multimedia Production Room, that have allowed faculty members a greater range of possibilities in constructing hands-on learning opportunities across a range of courses in our program. In addition, the varied spaces in the CTI building have proven invaluable to students that require locations to film in when producing program-assigned film and documentary projects.” Eric Cator, Professor, Film & Television Production, Faculty of Media and Creative Arts (FMCA)

“During our research project last year, the Barrett CTI team, with step-by-step planning, helped us to launch the project in a timely manner. This project was our first interaction with the Barrett CTI and we found the team helpful and effective. Throughout the project, the Barrett CTI team, including the project coordinator and technicians, made themselves available each day to help in all areas so we could overcome our technical or software problems." Hamid Dehkordi, Ph.D., P.Eng. Professor & Principal Investigator, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST)

“I teach the Capstone project course for the Electromechanical program at Humber College. Working with the Barrett CTI has been a fantastic experience. The Barrett CTI has supplied high-end automation equipment ranging from robots to vision systems that students are incorporating in their projects. They also provided significant technical expertise, which allowed students to build highly complex automated systems.” Tyler Clapperton, Professor, Humber College
