NUCL 4994U – Capstone Design I

The capstone design provides nuclear engineering students with the opportunity, under the supervision of a faculty member, to integrate and synthesize knowledge gained throughout their program of study. Through completion of their design, students working in a team, will demonstrate an understanding of the design engineering process and the ability to apply it. The topic will be selected to include aspects of nuclear energy. Students will be required to organize and conduct a design with a significant analytical component and demonstrate understanding of several aspects such as technical, economic, environmental and other societal impacts. Capstone Design 1, will typically be a group design, but with each student having clearly defined roles, objectives and outcomes.
