\u00a0\u201dIt is generally accepted that the principal functions of a university are
\neducation and research. While the two certainly don\u2019t occur in equal measure at every
\npost-secondary Institution, there can be little doubt that the most renowned
\namong them have those functions firmly in place.<\/p>\n

Research expands knowledge, both inside the institution and beyond it.
\nThe benefits can flow to teachers and learners and to the industries and occupations
\nthat are able to make use of their work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tour Meeting Place-Common Area: A Building<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Agriculture<\/strong><\/p>\n

4:45 Paul Gumprich<\/strong> Applied science with\u00a0a demonstration of the milking parlor.<\/p>\n

5:00 Tom Baumann<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several recent projects will be highlighted. First of course the incredible new greenhouse facilities and how we will use them to do industry research with our students. Second, virus free nursery stock repository for industry use, maintained by agriculture students. Third, a collaborative effort in demonstration and research in agriculture together with Sardis Secondary School and High Road Academy. Fourth, industry research in the berry industry\u00a0 Fifth, new crop research out of the Pacific Berry Resource Centre at UFV .<\/p>\n

5:25 Renee Prasad<\/strong>\u00a0 – CEPA 2105<\/p>\n

Several industry-funded pest management research projects have been successfully integrated into the course work and learning outcomes for Agri 163, 203, 206 and 272. The level of student engagement with these industry funded projects has ranged from observational (trips to see field plots)\u00a0to hands-on (planting plots, randomization and assignment of treatments, collecting data, literature search). Students have also participated on projects as part of practicum experience and as paid casual labour outside of class time. Examples of three industry-funded projects with varying levels of\u00a0student participation\u00a0will be on display in CEPA 2105.<\/p>\n

Health Sciences<\/p>\n

Nursing<\/p>\n

5:45 Lee-Anne Jackson<\/strong>
\nHuman patient simulation (HPS), utilizing life like manikins, is a teaching strategy that is becoming increasingly popular in nursing education; however, students are often anxious during these learning events.\u00a0 The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the relationship between student learning style and student anxiety during an HPS experience.<\/p>\n

Dental Assistants<\/p>\n

6:05 Rosie Friesen<\/strong> Coordinator of the CDA program<\/p>\n

UFV\u2019s state of the art dental facility emulates the real working environment and houses dental office equipment such as fully-functional \u00a0dental units, radiography machines, sterilization equipment, and dental laboratory equipment. The dental clinic provides students with opportunities to practice their dental skills \u00a0beginning on a mannequin, then on each other and finally on the general public. Come see where your dental professionals are preparing for practice.<\/p>\n

Kinesiology & Physical Education department<\/strong><\/p>\n

6:15 Jason Brandenburg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Understanding how the environment influences exercise performance<\/p>\n

Tour the UFV Human Performance Centre and view the environmental chamber to learn more about altitude may affect performance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Micro Lectures \u2013 Gathering Hall 6:30 \u2013 7:30pm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Eric Gerbrandt<\/strong> \u2013 Agriculture<\/p>\n

Research at UFV’s Pacific Berry Resource Centre and the Agriculture Technology Department focuses on providing: (1) real-world answers to production challenges experienced by local growers; (2) innovations that will improve the bottom-line; and (3) access to the genetics and technology that will improve the competitiveness of Canadian agriculture in the global marketplace. \u00a0Industry collaboration, direction and funding ensure that the benefits of this research are community, meaningful and long-term. \u00a0Augmenting its teaching role, this work helps UFV stand out in its key position as a support to the local agriculture industry.<\/p>\n

Jason Brandenburg<\/strong>\u2014Kinesiology and Physical Education<\/p>\n

Beet root juice supplementation does not improve exercise performed in hot conditions. The ingestion of concentrated beet root juice prior to exercise does not improve cycling performance or temperature regulation during exercise.<\/p>\n

Dawna Williams<\/strong> \u2013Nursing<\/p>\n

A Comparison of Learner Experience and Academic Achievement in a Baccalaureate Nursing Program with Three-year Fast Track and Four-year Options<\/p>\n

The purpose of this longitudinal correlational study is to describe and compare the academic achievement and perception of learner experience of baccalaureate nursing students progressing through the three-year and four-year program options. Qualitative and quantitative data for this study is collected through a series of focus groups, interviews and online questionnaires at specific intervals through the students\u2019 three or four year educational experience. It is anticipated that the study\u2019s outcomes will enhance the learning environment for students in both options, improving their academic outcomes and experience.<\/p>\n

Shelley Canning<\/strong>\u00a0 – Nursing<\/p>\n

Inter-disciplinary, inter-generational, community engaged research project. This collaborative project includes nursing and kinesiology students and was centred on a ballet class with school aged children and residents in a long-term residential care facility. The relationship that developed between the dancers, and the changes in the attitudes of the children towards the residents, will be presented.<\/p>\n

Evidence-based manual annotation of the Drosophila biarmipes dot chromosome through comparative genomics<\/p>\n

The goal of this research was to annotate specific regions of the Drosophila biarmipes dot chromosome. \u00a0This was achieved in collaboration with the Genomics Education Partnership of Washington University in St. Louis. \u00a0Drosophila melanogaster was used as a reference species to annotate contiguous sequences through comparative genomics.<\/p>\n

Matthew Hanson\u2014CIS Research Student<\/strong>
\nDan Harris, supervisor<\/p>\n

Citizen Reporting using Two Way Texting:\u00a0In 2012, the Abbotsford Police Department came up with the idea of setting up a two way texting (SMS) platform whereby citizens in the community could contact the police in Abbotsford for non-emergency calls. This platform would allow citizens in the Abbotsford community the ability to converse with call taking and dispatch staff at the police department in regards to \u201cnot in progress\u201d crimes.<\/p>\n
