Course Overview
In this final term course, students implement a technical project within their fields of interest. The course integrates many of the skills and knowledge acquired by students throughout the program, and develops organizational and interpersonal skills. Students work as part of a team of two or more people, as determined by the scope of the project. Multiple groups may work together on modules of larger projects. Some projects may have industrial sponsorship. Each group will present and demonstrate their project and will submit a formal report.
