Full-year design course (fall and winter of same academic year) which may be taken in place of the final year design course in any engineering program. Working in multidisciplinary teams of 4 or 5 students, students will work on a design project sponsored by an outside client. The proposed solution should meet a broad range of constraints including health and safety, sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Deliverables include progress reports and presentations, a final report including engineering drawings, and if applicable, a prototype. Weekly lectures will cover topics relevant to the design projects and will include presentations by guest speakers. The weekly tutorial hours are designated for scheduled meetings with project co-mentors .
Prerequisites: Restricted to students who have met the requirements of the capstone design course in their program and have received approval from their degree program coordinator.
