From the analyses of 5,044 boating accidents in 1972, profiles of accidents involving the 1,320 Drownings, 120 Other Deaths, Damage and Injury categories were tabularized to show typical patterns of the respective accident categories. The most significant finding was the high percent of drowning fatalities in boats. About 70% of the Drownings and 30% of the Other Deaths occurred in boats under 16 feet; and most of them had little or no engine power. In the 16–26 foot range, about 50% of the Other Deaths and 50% of the Damage occurred. Two areas of needed research are implied here. First, the sensory related capabilities of people to maintain balance in small boats has been apparently grossly overestimated. Second, in the larger boats there is the problem of collisions with people and objects which lead to the higher Damage and Other Death data results. Visibility, handling skills, decision making and vigilance are areas which would seem to be potentially linked to these losses. Research topics in these areas are suggested as being necessary to provide information needed for future standards, better engineering design practices and operator education classes.

La Madeleine

An exploratory survey, conducted in 2010, has led to a better understanding of the design practices of Québec businesses located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and Côte-Nord regions. This survey was conducted among 31 businesses from different sectors of activity focused on design methods, tools and techniques. The research aims to develop a method and a tool to assess and characterize an organization, its design system and its design process. The results will serve to establish an observatory of the design practices. Such an observatory will contribute to improve the engineering design education.The study shows, among other things, that most businesses claim to use a structured design process, although a very few resort to structured methods, sophisticated tools, or specialized design techniques. The results seem to indicate that the design process of SME located in the Lower Saint-Lawrence Area is not as organized as it could be expected.To understand the determinants of design performance better, and to develop indicators for assessing the design process, a new research has been launched.A conceptual model, derived from a review of literature, was selected to develop the indicators. Three axes (environmental, human and techno-scientific knowledge) and three aspects (organisation, processes and features of the product) are identified and used to define the design system.
