Course Description/Relevant Employment Duties

This course represents the culminating design experience of the Mechanical Engineering program. Students undertake a substantial, open-ended mechanical engineering project that integrates and applies knowledge and skills developed throughout their undergraduate studies. Each project is completed under the supervision or co-supervision of a faculty member holding an appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, providing students with mentored, industry-relevant experience in managing a complex engineering challenge from concept through to a solution. The Sessional Instructor serves as the Course Coordinator, providing overall administrative and academic oversight of the course. This includes managing student project groups, coordinating and standardizing assessments across all supervised projects, and serving as the primary point of contact for students throughout the course. This courses spans terms 1 &2 and the sessional instructor must be available to support the course for the full year.
