Comprehensive Business Valuation of Starmass Corporation

This project tasks MBA students with conducting a detailed business valuation of Starmass Corporation, a prominent Canadian infrastructure monitoring and engineering firm. Founded in 1984, Starmass operates in Canada, Saudi Arabia, India, and the United States, offering a complex profile for valuation analysis. Students will apply valuation methodologies such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), market comparables, and asset-based valuation to assess the company's financial health and strategic position. They will analyze real-world financial and strategic data provided by Starmass, study the company's historical evolution, and evaluate its industry position and future growth potential. The project aims to equip students with practical experience in applied valuation research, preparing them for strategic financial planning in a global, multi-market context.

Patent Research and Documentation for Technological Innovations

Starmass Canada is at the forefront of technology innovation and is preparing to patent five groundbreaking innovations.

This project provides learners with the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge of intellectual property and research methodologies to real-world scenarios. The team will focus on gathering relevant data, analyzing existing patents, and ensuring that the documentation meets the necessary legal and technical standards. This project is designed to be completed by a team of learners from a technology or engineering program, allowing them to gain valuable insights into the patenting process and the intricacies of intellectual property management.

UX/UI of Structural Health Visualization and Analysis Tool

This project involves developing a web-based visualization and engineering analysis tool that evaluates structures against applied loads, strain, cracks, tilt measurements, and corrosion. The tool will allow stakeholders to visually interpret structural health data, ensuring informed decision-making through real-time analytics. The platform will provide downloadable, user-friendly reports that deliver actionable insights based on real-time sensor inputs. UX/UI Development for the Platform We are looking for UX/UI professionals or students specializing in user experience and interface design to enhance the usability and accessibility of our SHM platform. This initiative focuses on making the platform intuitive, aesthetically engaging, and efficient for stakeholders interacting with real-time structural data. Scope of UX/UI Work Participants will work on: User Research & Needs Assessment – Understanding user behavior, stakeholder needs, and pain points in navigating the SHM platform. Wireframing & Prototyping – Designing interactive wireframes and user flows for optimal data visualization and report generation. UI/UX Enhancement – Developing aesthetically appealing and functional interface designs for real-time data visualization. Interactivity & Accessibility – Improving user engagement through better data interaction, responsive layouts, and intuitive navigation. Integration with AI/ML Models – Ensuring seamless UI integration with AI-driven analytics and recommendation engines. Collaboration with Development Team – Working closely with engineers and product managers to implement UI/UX improvements effectively. Testing & Iteration – Conducting usability testing to refine designs based on stakeholder feedback. This UX/UI-focused initiative provides a unique opportunity to work on real-world engineering data visualization challenges , bridging technology, design, and infrastructure analytics into a seamless user experience. We look forward to collaborating with creative minds passionate about designing intuitive digital platforms for impactful decision-making in structural health monitoring.

Structuring Fund: Innovating Infrastructure and Finance

The STARMASS Infrastructure & Technology Growth Fund (SITGF) project aims to engage MBA students in the strategic design and operationalization of a new growth fund. The project focuses on leveraging the student's financial expertise and strategic thinking to create a robust framework for the fund. The student will work closely with STARMASS’s executive team to understand the intricacies of complex financial instruments such as Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs), Letters of Credit (LCs), and Bank Guarantees (BGs). The goal is to ensure these instruments are effectively integrated into the fund's structure to support its successful launch and operation. The project provides an opportunity for the student to apply classroom knowledge in finance and strategic management to a real-world scenario, enhancing their understanding of fund management and financial structuring.
