PeerEval+ is a peer review platform designed to integrate with the University's D2L system to transform traditional student assessments into collaborative, learning-centered evaluations. The project aims to enhance student learning, critical thinking, and ethical practices through peer assessment while improving operational efficiency for instructors by reducing grading workloads. Beyond its educational goals, the initiative seeks to promote inclusivity and diversity by using demographic data and anonymous, balanced evaluation algorithms to foster equitable learning environments across multiple disciplines.

This project proposes a multi-modal AI framework designed to automate social equity in software design by ensuring compliance with sustainability and accessibility standards like EDIA and EAA. The system utilizes a multi-agent architecture—comprising Compliance, Design, and Specification agents—to detect non-compliant elements in wireframes and requirements and recommend actionable updates. By integrating computer vision and natural language processing, the framework aims to reduce barriers for marginalized groups and foster inclusive digital innovation.

This project will transform CANATUS's outdated, cumbersome Excel spreadsheet used for calculating damage in industrial structures (like pipes and vessels) into a modern, robust, and scalable software platform. This new tool will use industry-standard methodologies to accurately assess asset safety and integrity, allowing CANATUS to move beyond manual consulting services to potentially offering a new commercial software product. This not only improves the company's efficiency and accuracy but also supports the safety and longevity of critical Canadian infrastructure.
