Sensing, Engineering, and Analytics - Technology Access Centre (SEA-TAC)

300年来，新斯科舍省一直是海洋服务中心，并继续开展广泛的造船、海洋科学和应用研究活动。新斯科舍省社区学院（NSCC）在13个地区为一系列经济部门的20,000多名学生提供教育，并主持应用研究，定制培训和技术服务，旨在改善该地区的经济和生活质量。NSCC寻求建立传感、工程和分析技术访问中心（SEA-TAC），以扩大该地区的能力，以满足海洋领域的行业创新需求。SEA-TAC将为行业提供NSCCs应用研究和学术项目中存在的一系列技术能力。TAC将建立在现有专业知识和独特资源的基础上，如NSCC设计与创新中心、地形测深激光雷达技术、应用海洋研究实验室、应用能源研究实验室、航海研究所波浪箱和模拟器以及NSCC数据分析基础设施。SEA-TAC使合作伙伴能够以更低的风险承担创新项目，同时最大限度地利用NSCCs的基础设施和人才，使大西洋加拿大海洋创新生态系统受益。SEA-TAC还将支持供应链开发、劳动力培训/生产力和海洋在职支持能力，以补充该地区的海军舰队和价值数十亿美元的造船业。通过SEA-TAC， NSCC将使海洋技术行业的创新者能够感知、设计和分析快速增长的全球海洋经济中的新机遇。

Nova Scotia has been a centre for ocean services for 300 years, and continues extensive ship-building, ocean science, and applied research activities. Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) delivers education to more than 20,000 students across 13 locations, for a range of economic sectors, and hosts applied research, customized training and technology services aimed at improving the economy and quality of life in the region. NSCC seeks to establish the Sensing, Engineering, and Analytics - Technology Access Centre (SEA-TAC) to expand the regions capacity to meet industry innovation needs in the ocean sector. SEA-TAC will offer industry access to the array of technical capabilities that exist within NSCCs applied research and academic programs. The TAC will build on existing expertise and unique resources such as NSCCs Design and Innovation Centre, Topobathymetric Lidar technology, the Applied Oceans Research Lab, the Applied Energy Research Lab, the Nautical Institutes wave tank and simulators, and NSCC Data Analytics infrastructure. SEA-TAC enables partners to undertake innovative projects at lower risk, while maximizing opportunities to apply NSCCs infrastructure and talent to benefit the Atlantic Canada ocean-innovation ecosystem. SEA-TAC will also support supply-chain development, workforce training/productivity, and marine in-service support capabilities to complement the regions naval fleet and billion dollar shipbuilding sector. Through SEA-TAC, NSCC will enable innovators in the ocean-technology industry to sense, engineer, and analyze new opportunities in the rapidly growing global ocean economy.
