Description
This capstone design project course is focused on the synthesis and design of mechanical engineering systems. Students work together in small design groups, follow the key steps of the engineering design process, and apply their engineering knowledge base, to define, analyse, and solve real-life engineering design problems submitted by industrial and external clients. The design groups work closely with their clients and receive support from faculty advisors. Project management, teamwork, professionalism, health and safety, codes and standards, sustainability, risk assessment, and oral and written communication skills are emphasized. The deliverables provided to the client may include a technical report, working prototype, computer model, operating instructions, and engineering drawings. The course concludes with a final presentation of the design project to the public.
Prerequisite(s): ME 329 and 53 credit units from ME Program Core.
Note: Students with credit for GE 495.6 will not receive credit for this course. Students cannot be simultaneously registered in both ME 495.6 and GE 495.6.
