Papers in this volume are the first working papers produced by the Council of Ontario Universities. Issue 1, "The Role and State of Ontario Graduate Education" by Dennis Forcese, advocates the reinforcement of graduate education in Ontario institutions to maintain the overall quality of the institutions and to secure the future. The paper outlines the important, and often overlooked, contributions that graduate students make to the university community in terms of teaching and research assistance, original research, and their potential role as faculty. Issue 2, "Increased Integration of Programs in Engineering and the Humanities" by Patrick Oosthuizen, addresses the need to produce graduates who have a sound understanding of the impact of technology on society and presents some practical models for increasing interaction between humanities and engineering graduates. The third issue, "The Liberal Arts and Sciences Baccalaureate Degree: Are 15 Credits Enough?" by Jocelyn B. Aubrey, questions whether a 3-year program can provide graduate with a reasonable knowledge base in the chosen discipline. The discussion outlines some of the key issues in deciding whether to keep the 3-year degree. Guidelines for the university sector under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act is attached to the working papers collection. (SLD)

Researchers from the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Pakistan have published a new study on engineering. The study focuses on the use of paper-based microfluidics for various applications, including diagnostics, environmental detection, and food quality control. The researchers propose a method for manipulating fluid flow in paper channels by altering the surface contact between the storage medium and the paper. Increasing the contact area between the reservoir and the paper surface decreases flow velocity and increases fluidic time delay, which can be beneficial for lateral flow sensing devices used in medical, environmental, or food quality applications.

This article discusses a preprint abstract that describes the design and fabrication of a paper-based scaffold for 3D cardiac tissue engineering. The scaffold is made of paper cellulose microfibers that are functionalized with gold nanorods and semiconductor quantum dots, embedded into a collagen matrix. The gold nanorods enable modulation of cardiomyocyte activity through near-infrared laser illumination, with temperature changes reported by the quantum dots. This optical platform has the potential to impact drug screening, toxicity studies, and heart disease modeling. However, it is important to note that this preprint has not been peer-reviewed.

A recent study conducted at the University of Calgary in Canada aimed to understand caregiver preferences for pediatric emergency department discharge instructions. The researchers found that caregivers had a strong preference for receiving written discharge instructions, with 98% desiring either electronic or printed resources in addition to verbal instructions. The study also found that QR codes may be an effective tool for distributing electronic resources to most families. However, it is important to provide translated resources for families who do not speak English as their primary language. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at Victoria Hospital in London, Canada, reviewed the biomechanical design optimization of clavicle midshaft fracture plates (CMFPs). The study found that while CMFPs are commonly used in surgery, complications can occur and it is unclear if the configurations are always optimized using biomechanical criteria. The review examined 51 papers that analyzed plate and screw variables, but none of them simultaneously implemented four biomechanical factors for optimization. The research concluded that this review can assist engineers and surgeons in designing and assessing CMFPs. [Extracted from the article]
