A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Scott Walbridge Professor and Chair
Welcome to the 2023 Civil, Environmental, Geological, and Architectural Engineering Capstone Design Symposium!
We are one of Canada’s largest civil and environmental engineering departments and oversee undergraduate programs in Civil, Environmental, Geological, and Architectural Engineering. These programs provide our students with a strong knowledge base in mathematics, 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 2023 Capstone Design Teams and their projects. This year is a special one in that it is the first ever to include teams and projects from our inaugural Architectural Engineering Graduate Class of 2023!
We are very proud of all 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 or our programs, or if you have ideas for future capstone design projects, please contact our Capstone Design Coordinator, Professor Nadine Ibrahim.
Sincerely,
Scott Walbridge
Chair, Civil and Environmental Engineering
