ENGR 4111U – Capstone Systems Design I


This two-part capstone design course represents a culminating design experience for engineering students. The course allows senior-level students to integrate their engineering knowledge to solve an open-ended design problem while working as part of an engineering design team. Students will apply the engineering design process to a project of major breadth that will require them to integrate the knowledge that they have gained throughout their respective programs of study and apply it to the design and development of a complete system. Design teams will meet weekly with their project supervisor and attend several guest lectures during the semester. By the end of this first course, students will have completed the first stages of the engineering design process for their project culminating with a preliminary design report and proof-of-concept prototype presentation and demonstration. Note that students will finish the design and development of their systems in ENGR 4222U – Capstone Systems Design II .
