Research Process

BCIT conducts grant-funded and industry-sponsored applied research and development focused on solving industry’s challenges. Bringing together multi-disciplinary teams from a range of research areas spanning trades and technical expertise, BCIT researchers create practical applied research solutions that can be transformed immediately into commercially relevant products, services and applications.

These activities often result in licensing opportunities, spin-off companies, and new start-ups, and are primarily motivated by the creation of direct and indirect benefits for students. Applied research provides students with practical learning opportunities, and produces outcomes that further economic success and employment opportunities.

The research process has 3 stages:

• Stage one: Idea to approved proposal
• Stage two: Approved proposal to funded research project
• Stage three: Research project implementation to completion/evaluation

and is guided by

• Research-related policies and procedures.
