To our research and innovation community,

The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE), Humber Press, Office of Research & Innovation (ORI), has compiled a comprehensive and detailed JIPE Submissions Handbook which we have the pleasure of sharing widely with our research and innovation community. You may make submissions to JIPE.ca at any time.

Have you participated in or conducted a research/innovation study? Do you have research you want to share? Every research project, study or initiative is a journey. Researchers and innovators embark on this journey, and their work advances essential knowledge and changes the way we understand the world.

JIPE welcomes research stories and manuscripts from seasoned and emerging researchers from across the polytechnic and community college sectors, both within and outside Canada. Students/research assistants are also encouraged and invited to submit in collaboration with a faculty member/researcher.

JIPE publishes original research papers, review articles, brief reports, book reviews and our “micro-dissemination” options: innovation spotlights and more.

As part of Humber’s sustainability plan, JIPE will only be published electronically to reduce paper consumption. JIPE is an online, open-access journal for double-blind peer-reviewed submissions/manuscripts that mobilize knowledge and insights generated by the global polytechnic community. The articles published in this open journal are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

Robotic Painting Arm Development 

At Humber College, faculty members, researchers and students engage in phenomenon-driven research, which focuses exclusively on an observable problem—with real, measurable consequences—and the solutions that come about through collaborative efforts with industry and community.  

A prominent example of phenomenon-driven research currently taking place at Humber is the project Robotic Painting Arm Development led by Principal Investigator Seyed-Youns (Younes) Sadat-Nejad, professor in the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST), along with Co-Investigator Dr. Mehrdad Iravani-Tabrizipour, professor in FAST.  

As part of the project, the Humber College research team is collaborating with Mechatronic Diagnostics. The industry partner is challenged in finding expert painters and reducing the health hazards for its existing painters. The research project aims to develop an automated painting robotic system that is installable in the painting booth. The proposed solution will allow Mechatronic Diagnostics to perform the operation of vehicle painting in their repair shop booth in an automatic manner, which will optimize the workflow and provide increased safety for employees.  

The research project was awarded the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Engage grant ($25K) in 2021.
