A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Carl Haas Professor and Chair
Welcome to the 2021 Civil, Environmental and Geological Engineering Capstone Design Symposium!
We are one of Canada’s largest civil and environmental engineering departments and include programs in civil, environmental, geological and architectural engineering. Our undergraduate programs provide students with a strong knowledge base in mathematics and engineering analysis and design fundamentals, with increasing emphasis on problem solving, communication and interdisciplinary subjects. Our students’ academics are supplemented by six co-operative education work terms to provide them with valuable practical experience as young engineers.
The students’ undergraduate education culminates in their two-term Capstone Design Project, which gives them the opportunity to combine their technical knowledge, design principles, teamwork and communication skills to solve a challenging engineering problem. We are now excited to share this year’s work, innovations, and solutions with you.
This brochure provides an introduction to the 2021 Capstone Design Teams and their projects. We are proud of our students and their accomplishments, and we hope that you enjoy meeting the teams and learning about their projects at the symposium. If you have any questions about the symposium, our programs, or if you have ideas for future capstone design projects, please contact our Capstone Design Coordinator, Professor Chris Bachmann.
