ENGR 4960U – Capstone Systems Design for Energy Engineering I
This course constitutes the first part of a two-term capstone systems design engineering endeavor. These two capstone systems design courses (ENGR 4960U and ENGR 4961U) represent a critical mandatory component for fulfilling the requirements for accrediting engineering degree programs set by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). They provide a culminating major teamwork capstone design engineering experience that integrates various aspects of students’ knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom as well as on co-op or internship work terms. These courses challenge senior-level students to engage in applying their engineering knowledge to produce useful engineering artifacts. This design-built project-based course normally includes studying open-ended engineering design topics of interest to the students. A wide range of engineering design-related product, process, technology, service or system development topics may be covered in this course. The course covers design considerations for systems that predominantly incorporate many aspects of engineering.
These may consist of real-world design projects proposed and sponsored by industrial partners, or design projects on topics proposed by faculty advisors, or topics proposed by a group of enrolled students. In this context, in this course the engineering design process will be reviewed along with its application to the design of the said systems. Students will work in small groups of students on a capstone design engineering project of major breadth that will require them to integrate the knowledge that they have gained throughout their program of study and apply it to the design and development of a complete device or system.
