Centennial College was founded in 1966 as the first institution in Ontario's then-new Community College system. Since that time, it has grown to encompass five campuses in Toronto, with a total enrollment of over 45,000 students in over 280 diploma and degree programs.Centennial's Applied Research activities draw on the strength of its academic programming, and focus on six major research specializations: healthcare technology, aerospace and aviation, advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, social innovation, and AI-powered data analytics for business. The College's activities in these areas are supported by government grant funding and the contributions of close to 100 industry and community partners each year, with whom Centennial collaborates on projects of importance to the economy, environment, and the local community. Centennial is a national leader in involving students in its applied research activities, with close to 500 paid student researchers every year. This proposal seeks funding for expansion of Centennial's research activities in low-carbon mobility and aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul -- fields that are complementary to the College's existing and applied-research strengths, and which represent areas of crucial business need in Canada. Applied research at Centennial will help its partners adapt to the demands of the move to electric vehicles, including existing vehicle electrification, predictive maintenance, and training, and will assist the transformation of the aircraft maintenance and overhaul industry by advancing AI, virtual reality, additive manufacturing, and composite repair technology in this field. Student training -- in both project-related technology and soft-skills -- will form a crucial part of this program, with opportunities for further technical education, creative problem-solving, and entrepreneurship training.

百年纪念学院成立于1966年，是安大略当时新的社区学院系统的第一所机构。从那时起，它已经发展到包括多伦多的五个校区，共有超过45，000名学生参加280多个文凭和学位课程。Centennial的应用研究活动利用其学术计划的优势，并专注于六个主要的研究专业：医疗保健技术、航空航天、先进制造业、可再生能源、社会创新和人工智能驱动的商业数据分析。学院在这些领域的活动得到政府拨款资助和近100个行业和社区合作伙伴的贡献，每年与他们百年合作的重要项目，以经济，环境和当地社区的支持。Centennial是让学生参与其应用研究活动的全国领导者，每年有近500名付费学生研究人员。该提案旨在为百年纪念在低碳交通和航空航天维护，维修和大修方面的研究活动的扩展提供资金-这些领域是对学院现有和应用研究优势的补充，并且代表了加拿大关键业务需求的领域。Centennial的应用研究将帮助其合作伙伴适应电动汽车的需求，包括现有车辆电气化，预测性维护和培训，并将通过推进人工智能，虚拟现实，增材制造和复合材料维修技术来帮助飞机维护和大修行业的转型。学生培训-在项目相关的技术和软技能-将形成这个计划的重要组成部分，进一步技术教育，创造性解决问题的机会，和创业培训。
