In 2018, Humber College and SEW-EURODRIVE entered a five-year partnership agreement designed to build awareness and provide training and applied research opportunities related to Industry 4.0 technologies, a critical aspect of advanced manufacturing.  

Humber’s Office of Research & Innovation (ORI) continues to support and encourage faculty, researchers, and students to get involved and participate in applied research opportunities with our valued industry partners. 

Recently, researchers at the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST), with the sponsorship of SEW-EURODRIVE, worked in a project collaboration space at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation at Humber College to design a CT-based energy harvesting circuit that powers an SEW-EURODRIVE sensor board used for three-phase AC motors condition monitoring. This project was supported and partially funded by Humber’s Office of Research & Innovation.

New Mandatory COVID-19 Awareness Training for Employees

The new online course, Employee COVID-19 Awareness Training (Return to Campus Fall 2021) has just launched. The training is intended for all current employees, including those working on campus and those working remotely in the fall.

All employees must complete this revised training, even if they completed a COVID Awareness course last semester or previously. Employees are required to complete the training by September 15. Employees hired after September 15, are to complete the training prior to visiting the college, or within the first two weeks of the start of their employment/contract, whichever comes first.

The training covers the risks of COVID-19, on-campus safety measures, well-being resources, and more. The training should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The training module is available on Blackboard and the general instructions for accessing the training are below.

All current employees have been registered into the course. If you do not have access to Blackboard, please contact us at healthandsafety@humber.ca to make alternate arrangements. Managers may send their list of new employees to healthandsafety@humber.ca to provide them with access to the training.

If you have any questions about the training, please contact your manager or Occupational Health and Safety at healthandsafety@humber.ca.
