Projects to inspire change

The Master of Engineering & Public Policy is a different type of program in which students engage in projects that lead thought and action. Through evidence-based analysis, they enable technological advancements to improve social, economic and environmental outcomes.

Below is a sample of projects completed by the program’s alumni. You’ll find these projects are diverse and address policy challenges that affect people and communities located around the globe.

Akosua Pepra, 2019

Project Impact:

Akosua applies the community engagement and collaborative methodology used in her Master’s research project to her volunteer work as the Director of Operations for the God Cares Widows and Orphans nonprofit in Ghana. Akosua is currently working on an organizational transformation project that will streamline the group’s operations.

Project Partner:

WaterTAP

Preparing for success:

The MEPP program encouraged Akosua to go out and engage with her professional community. Attending talks and conferences, and seeking out knowledge outside of the classroom was vital to Akosua’s growth while at McMaster. This extracurricular engagement helped Akosura to build her confidence and make the connections that have mattered most in her career to date.

Akosua currently works as an Energy & Resources Consultant at Deloitte Canada

Pedram Mazahery, 2020

Project Impact:

Pedram’s background in design and marketing led to a job in materials science in his native Iran. Working on the distribution, maintenance and repair of power lines, Pedram grew interested in energy, sustainability, and the potential of electrified economies.

He quickly understood that clean energy is at the top of most political agendas, and that the gradual shift will unlock a new era of technology and social interaction.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are prominent symbols of this shift. While the manufacture of EVs comes with its own carbon footprint issues, the net contribution of EVs to reduced emissions represents an increasingly accessible first step.

Pedram’s project considered the unique challenges and potential risks to Ontario’s power grid as a result of widespread EV adoption, and used data analysis to model impacts through to 2035. High prices, ongoing fleet renovation, and a progressive climate change action plan, make Ontario – and Pedram’s project – an excellent case study for the rest of the world.

Preparing for success:

Pedram points to the MEPP program as a turning point in the way he approaches idea generation. “You will learn new tools and techniques for generating policy recommendations,” he says.

After graduation, Pedram continued to study at McMaster with a six-month certificate program at the McMaster Research Institute. The program concludes Spring 2021.

Erman Sener, 2020

Project Impact:

In 2019, Hamilton City Council, a McMaster community partner, declared a Climate Change Emergency, and asked staff to explore a path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Erman’s research for the MEPP program tied into this mandate perfectly.

His work, supervised by McMaster’s Circular Economy and Carbon Mitigation program lead, quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and estimated the costs associated with the City of Hamilton’s Waste Management Division’s projects.

Working with a team that included City of Hamilton staff, Erman created a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) that prioritized activities to address climate change on a cost per unit of reduction basis. The project is an ideal example of applied engineering practice and interdisciplinary learning combining to guide problem solving.

Project partner:

City of Hamilton

Preparing for success:

Trained as an engineer, Ernan entered the MEPP program with no public policy experience. The MEPP program introduced Ernan to concepts, tools, and methods that shaped his perspectives on societal, environmental, and economic issues, and gave him the confidence to pursue a career in public policy.

Erman currently works as a Program Officer at Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing, a provincially-funded non-profit based in London, Ontario.

Zhixuan Han, Sophia Nasato, Hibba Shahid, 2021

Project Impact:

In light of the City of Hamiton’s 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target, project partner IRIS R&D Group, a smart cities hardware and data provider, and its irisGO solution, aim to make a significant contribution to reducing the City’s carbon footprint.

The ‘Environmental Impact Assessment of Road Monitoring Technology’ contributes to this important initiative. The project focuses on the irisGO solution, which replaces manual road monitoring inspections of municipal vehicles with an automated solution that provides continuous data collection.

The team is learning how IoT technologies like irisGo maximize existing city assets to deliver significant cost savings. The project also allows them to explore their professional interests, all with a notable regional employer.

“The future of smart cities begins by utilizing resources more effectively and upgrading infrastructure to enable connectivity. The pilot project, irisGO, allows the group to learn about enabling the use of technology to decarbonize traditional road monitoring practises by using a cost-effective way to mitigate GHG emissions.”

Project partner:

IRIS R&D Group Inc.

Preparing for success:

Zhixuan Han:

Zhixuan has a background in Civil Engineering and has previously worked for various construction projects throughout his career. This program provides Zhixuan an opportunity to advance his knowledge and discover the feasibility of integrating automated systems in infrastructure.

Sophia Nasato:

For Sophia, the Master of Engineering and Public Policy program is allowing her to adapt her Chemical Engineering background to a municipal operations context, allowing her to focus on outlining direct methods of implementing technological solutions into society.

Hibba Shahid:

The Master of Engineering and Public Policy program enables Hibba to apply her Environmental Systems Engineering background and utilize her experience with the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) to focus on solutions that build resilient and smart cities.

By Kim Jusek, 2017

Challenge:

As many Ontario municipalities are growing rapidly, pressure is placed on urban water services. This includes clean drinking water supply, sewage treatment, the systems that transport both to and from homes and workplaces, and more. Municipalities face certain constraints when they plan for growth and expansion of their water services. This project provides municipal policymakers across Ontario a diagnostic and toolkit they can use to inform key policy decisions in their development of more sustainable and integrated urban water services and build consistency between municipalities.

Harshal Patel, 2017

Challenge:

Evidence shows that obesity is a growing problem among Canadians with less wealth, largely due to availability of cheap processed foods, and the challenges in buying fresh fruits and vegetables. This is a major healthcare issue, with estimates that obesity costs the public between $1.27 billion to $11.08 billion. Less affluent neighbourhoods are underserved by supermarkets, forcing them to rely too heavily on inexpensive, high-calorie/low-nutrient, processed foods. Including research into policies adopted elsewhere in the world to help curb the trend of growing obesity. The project makes policy recommendations based on successful initiatives elsewhere, including incentives for supermarkets to open in underserved neighbourhoods, zoning restrictions for fast food chains and taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages.

Obaid Shah, 2016

Challenge:

Many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focus on water, energy or food security as separate issues to be addressed separately in local policy. This project analyzes this practice and draws on case studies from Pakistan to propose a “Water, Energy & Food Nexus” to link these development topics together. The framework proposed in this paper aims to guide policymakers towards solutions that address these issues in tandem, leading to more sustainable development actions and greater social and economic improvements.

Hatim Elhag, 2017

Challenge:

Ontario and Michigan both adopted “supercluster” models in recent years to expand investment and collaboration to advance target industries. This project conducted a comparative analysis of the models implemented in Michigan and Ontario, specifically with respect to developing local leadership in autonomous vehicle technology. The project identifies a number of ways that Michigan’s approach is superior in terms of a more integrated and connected industry for developing and manufacturing autonomous vehicles. The project concludes that Ontario could build a more competitive ecosystem through greater interconnectivity between its advanced manufacturing and digital technology superclusters.
