Collaboration establishes new pathways from three Fleming programs into Trent’s Environmental & Resource Science degree, expanding options for students to study, gain career experience in environmental sector
Peterborough ON – (September 12, 2022) – Fleming College and Trent University have created four new diploma-to-degree pathways, allowing students at Fleming to further their education at Trent.
These three pathways add to the long-standing environmental pathway partnership between Trent and Fleming, which dates back to the early 2000s, and have produced many environmental leaders in the region and across Canada.
“This new agreement will provide students the opportunity to benefit from both hands-on learning and theoretical teaching, preparing students for success in fields that are growing across Canada,” said Fleming College President Maureen Adamson. “It also strengthens a long-standing partnership between Trent University and Fleming College and highlights the strong post-secondary educational opportunities in our region.”
“It is fantastic that more students looking at a post-secondary education are able to tap into the unique benefits of studying at both university and college,” said Dr. Stephen Hill, director of the Trent School of the Environment. “In the environmental sector, in particular, having both a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge and the technical skills and abilities to put that knowledge and thinking into action opens up career opportunities for college-to-university transfer graduates.”
Additionally, eligible Fleming students enrolled in the Police Foundations program will receive five credits toward a 20-credit degree through enrolment in the Policing and Community Well-Being program at Trent University Durham Greater Toronto Area.
The two institutions offer comprehensive pathways through many diplomas and degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Education – Indigenous, and Bachelor of Social Work. The new agreements are just the latest addition to meaningful post-secondary opportunities, giving students more options and control regarding their education and making the future transfer process more accessible and streamlined.

With this funding, researchers from both
institutions will assist the local aerospace engineering company with the
design and prototyping of innovative mechanisms for the company’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL)
aircraft.
Based in the City of
Kawartha Lakes, Horizon Aircraft has developed the prototype Cavorite X5, a
hybrid electric eVTOL aircraft capable of potential speeds of up to 450 km/h, a
500-kilometre range, and five- passenger capacity. Like others in the aviation
and aerospace industries, Horizon is searching for ways to make their vehicles
more efficient, lightweight, and able to withstand high vibrations, stresses,
and large loads.

“We are looking to our
academic research partners to assist us with their expertise in additive
manufacturing, topology optimization, modelling, and prototyping,” says E.
Brandon Robinson, CEO of Horizon Aircraft. “Advanced manufacturing processes
and technologies such as these are proving to be an efficient and highly
effective way to prototype innovative new aerospace parts. This is pivotal to
the success of our eVTOL system.”
Fleming College and
Ontario Tech University were jointly awarded $750,000 over three years from
NSERC’s Innovation Link program, under the Tri-Agency College and Community
Innovation Program.
Leading the project is
Fleming College’s Dr. Fereydoon Diba,
lead Research Scientist at Fleming’s Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial
Internet of Things (CAMIIT). The CAMIIT research
team’s strengths and expertise include mechatronics system design, product
development, Industrial Internet of Things, advanced manufacturing, and rapid
prototyping.
Ontario Tech
University’s research lead is Dr. Sayyed Ali Hosseini, Assistant Professor,
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and Director of Ontario Tech’s
Machining Research Laboratory (MRL). He is accompanied in this research by Dr.
Ahmad Barari, Associate Professor and Director of Advanced Digital Design and
Manufacturing and Advanced Digital Metrology Laboratories (AD2M Labs), and Dr.
Hossam Kishawy, Professor and Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
The research teams at MRL and AD2M Labs are contributing their expertise in
design, optimization, additive and subtractive manufacturing, modelling and
simulation, and materials behaviour to the project.
“The complementary
advanced manufacturing expertise of Fleming College’s Centre for Advancement in
Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things and Ontario Tech University’s
Machining Research Laboratory brings many advantages and benefits to innovative
companies like Horizon Aircraft,” says Dr. Brett Goodwin, Fleming College
Vice-President of Applied Research and Innovation. “Working
shoulder-to-shoulder with the aerospace engineers at Horizon, the research
teams will transform how a novel aircraft will be designed, tested, and
manufactured in Canada and beyond.”
This is the second
collaborative research project undertaken by the two institutions and Horizon
Aircraft.
“We are excited to again
work with Fleming College’s CAMIIT and Horizon Aircraft on this innovative
project. Hybrid electric aircraft are the future for the aerospace industry.
This is a great opportunity for students from both institutions to be learning
from a company leading in this field.,” says Dr. Les Jacobs, Vice-President,
Research and Innovation, Ontario Tech University. “In addition to adding to our
understanding of using advanced manufacturing technologies for the creation of
a greener aerospace industry, this project will accelerate
the design and development activities needed to get Horizon’s innovative new
eVOTL aircraft on the market.”

Fleming
College Culinary
Management student Mai Dong will tell you that mastering the culinary arts
requires more than good knife skills and a decent recipe.
It requires focus, and the will to retry when you don’t succeed.
“Every time I fail or every time something is not right, my instructors
say, ‘It’s OK, we’ll try it again,’” Dong said. “And that’s what we do.”
The Skills Ontario Competition is the largest trades and
technologies competition in Canada, bringing together Skilled Trades students
from across the province. The challenge gives students a chance to demonstrate
that they are the best of the best as they showcase their talents in front of judges,
educators, and even prospective employers.
Three other Fleming students were also recognized for their
outstanding performance at Skills Ontario.
Carpentry student, Maclaren Zbieranek and Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Technician student, Jersey Phin were each awarded silver
medals. Welding
and Fabrication Technician student, Jack Banister won a bronze medal.
Skills Ontario Bronze Medalist Jack Banister
Dong and Wodzak now join Team Ontario and will compete at the
Skills Canada National Competition in Vancouver from May 25, 2022 – May 28,
2022.
Dong said she is excited-and a little nervous-for that next
challenge.
She has been practicing her gold-medal menu all week, coming in
each day to perfect each dish, even as she attends her regular weekly culinary
classes.
It is hard work, she acknowledged, but her classmates and her
instructors have encouraged her every step of the way.
“I’m lucky because I have this whole team supporting me, and
telling me I can do this,” Dong said.
