Engineering design education

Transforming engineering design

Teaching engineering design has not been the primary focus of engineering education in Canada. During the past 40 years, it has been largely left to companies to provide this training. An increasing number of companies are seeking engineering graduates who are job-ready.

Capstone design projects: We are seeking individuals who have an interesting problem or idea and are willing to be a client for one of our capstone design projects.

Mentoring opportunity: We are seeking engineers with design-experience to help us co-mentor final-year design projects in our Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Geological, Geomatics and Mechanical Engineering programs during the academic year.

Design Symposium: The UNB Engineering Design Symposium is an annual event where final-year engineering students showcase their designs and prototypes to the community. More than half of the projects are sponsored by external clients where students are mentored by practicing engineers.

Makerspace: Have an idea or design you want to bring to life? UNB's Makerspace is open to students, faculty and staff. Welcome to your resource for innovation, design and collaboration.
