Course Description
In the duration of two terms, each team (3 students per team preferably), will pool their intellectual resources and work on a common specific engineering project. Each project, should include significant elements from engineering, design and implementation, depending on the, fields of expertise and fields of study of each of the students composing the team. However, the composition of the team could be as versatile as, it could possibly be, in order to match the needs of the multifaceted project and thus, students from Electrical Engineering, Computer Science Geomatics, Earth and Space Sciences, Mechanical and Civil Engineering could form one single research and development team. With the financial support of Lassonde School of Engineering, students are trained to develop an idea, starting from, formulation of sound hypothesis to a creation of a novel product. This course is composed in such a manner that students will easily become acquainted with the necessary concepts for putting together, a practical engineering project. This is done in several steps including Project Selection, Background Study, Design Specification, Implementation, Verification and Demonstration. Regular meetings are part of this course, either to present guest lecturer on a variety of topics or to monitor the progress of projects.
