Data Analytics and Modelling - Spring 25
DAT 201
This course is part of the Data Analytics certificate program. Students in the program are adult learners with a post-secondary degree/diploma in computer science, engineering, business, etc. This course offers an introduction to data science and machine learning paving the way for students to learn data analytics principles. In particular, this course begins with a brief history of data analytics and data science, followed by regression analysis, regression and classification trees, and ends with introductions to K-means clustering, principal component analysis (PCA). Each lecture has associated with it a practical lab session in which students will put "theory into practice" offering students a hands-on approach to learning the material.

Advanced Manufacturing & Mechatronics
PROJ
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Red River College to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Learners in this program/experience are capable of applying digital technology to advanced manufacturing and mechatronics challenges.

GEOG 101 - Earth Systems Analysis
GEOG 101-01
This experience focuses on the foundational concepts of Physical Geography, emphasizing the understanding of spatial processes affecting the Earth's surface. Learners will have a grasp of the interactions between the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. They will be equipped to apply this knowledge to analyze environmental patterns, assess natural resource distribution, and evaluate ecological impacts. This understanding can be directly applied to projects that require environmental assessments, resource management strategies, or sustainability evaluations.

Innovative Process Design and Optimization: Transforming Raw Materials into Valuable Products
NWKT
This experience allows learners to tackle real-world industry challenges by applying their knowledge in chemical engineering, process simulation, and sustainability. Participants will engage in projects that enhance their understanding of process design, energy optimization, the circular economy, and emerging technologies such as AI and hydrogen/fuel cell systems. By working on these projects, learners will develop practical skills and insights directly applicable to industry needs while contributing to innovative solutions in transforming raw materials into valuable products. Students are proficient in: Process simulation software (Aspen Plus, MATLAB, COMSOL) Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) & numericalmodellingg Experimental design, data collection, & lab safety Emerging technologies: AI, waste recovery, circular economy, hydrogen & fuel cells Receive structured project deliverables, including detailed design and simulation reports. Low-risk, high-reward collaboration – contribute to an industry challenge and gain insights from top student talent.

Software Product Development (University of Toronto)
CSC301
Please read the details of the link below completely and follow the steps specified there to submit proposals. Given the high number of requests, requests submitted on Riipen will not be reviewed. All details and questions are discussed in the document below. Program Overview and Partnership Invitation Document This program has been run for 17 cohorts over 7 years and with 200+ partners. We work with 30+ partners every term. We will not be able to respond to messages on Riipen. Quick summary: students take this course to develop a software application (web, mobile or desktop) for various use cases. Previous examples include mobile apps for finding travelers in a specific community and web-based application for connecting a non-profit to volunteers. If the project information interests you, please go through the steps mentioned in the document. After reviewing 300+ proposals, we have created a thorough process to streamline the process for all involved. We will not be able to accept requests on Riipen as the proposals need to be chosen by the students when the term begins.
Leadership and Management in Action
MGHCO2
This experience is designed for learners in a management skills course, focusing on the practical application of leadership, decision making, negotiation, goal setting, and team building. Participants will have the opportunity to apply these skills in real-world scenarios, enhancing their ability to lead teams, make informed decisions, and negotiate effectively. By engaging in projects that require strategic planning and collaboration, learners will bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, preparing them for future leadership roles.
Computer Systems Technology - Course Project
CST
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program/course study and employ practical and theoretical concepts obtained in first year systems analysis and design courses by building an IT system. They will work as part of a development team on an IT problem for an external industry client. Their project will include the production and demonstration of functioning components of the system each release within deadlines set out in their project management documentation
