This course is the capstone final year honours project. It involves research and design and develops skills in life-time learning.
The course is a team based capstone research and development project, in which students develop applied professional problem-solving skills. There are no pre-exisiting solutions, paths, no standard recipes to follow. Students apply research and design techniques in conjunction with the tools they have learned throughout their degree to find a solution to an industrial problem.Students will work in teams with an academic supervisor and an external mentor, to solve an engineering problem set by an end-user. This end-user is usually an outside company which sponsors the project. The student team will use the knowledge from a number of the courses taken previously in the degree.During the project, students will follow problem-solving processes used in industry. They will research the problem, study existing solutions, develop a list of requirements and design a new, better solution. Most projects build and test a prototype.This course meets the criteria for Community and Work-Integrated Learning (CWIL) Courses.
At the end of this course, the student will be able to:Apply practical approaches to solving open-ended, real-world, complex problems.Research and adapt background knowledge in a new field to a given problem.Create new knowledge, engineering solutions, and functioning hardware.Work effectively in a team environment.Communicate engineering designs to a professional standard.Manage time and resources in a professional manner.
