2022-2023 Projects
The Capstone design project courses (i.e. courses labelled MAAE4907X) are created to foster teamwork, communication, technical skill development and design work. All students must be 4 th. yr. eligible to enroll in a MAAE4907X course and this 4 th. yr. status will be determined after course marks are submitted for this term. Once marks are submitted, project registration will be available & you will be sent an e-mail when registration becomes available with instructions (likely towards the end of May).
In addition to other prerequisites, to be eligible for your 4th year project you must have 4th year engineering status, in particular you must have successfully completed all of your 2nd year requirements.

Lab Safety – Rules and Regulations
To apply for a small project with a team of 4-8 students, a MAE faculty member must be found and subsequently, a proposal must be prepared and submitted to the capstone committee no later than the last day of the fall term (31 Dec.). The proposal shall include objectives, scope of work, stream/specialization of the students involved, space requirement, environment/safety, and budget consideration (external support committed as there is no department funding provided). The proposal will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
The date of submission must be observed to avoid redundant registrations. |
