January 22, 2024Introduction to Employer
Students reach out to employer to set up introductory meeting.
-
January 29, 2024Bi-Weekly Meetings
This currently has one date, but I would ask that the students organize bi-weekly meetings with the employer. These dates can change throughout the term, but the expectation is that the students keep the employer informed of progress, concerns, etc.
I will also ask the students to follow up with a set of meeting minutes sent to myself and the employer.
-
March 1, 2024Mid-term Progress Report
Students provide formal report documenting work to date on project.
-
April 4, 2024Technical Final Report
This will be a formal, final engineering technical report submitted to the employer and instructor.
-
April 4, 2024Final Presentation
Students will present orally to the instructor and employer, the work they have produced to date with the support of a PowerPoint. The expectation is that all group members take a turn presenting.
This will be followed by a question period.
-
April 5, 2024Submission of Student Logbooks
Students are expected to keep professional logbooks throughout the term - these should be written in pen, dated, and keep an accurate log of work completed on the project.

Experience scope
Categories
Civil engineering Mechanical engineering Engineering project management Chemical engineeringSkills
use of autocad use of solidworks experience with client-consultant relationships/ project engagementThis course is taken by students typically in the final year of their engineering diploma (with the next step being the completion of their engineering degree).
Students would have a foundational background in processes, thermo-fluids, statics, materials, design, etc. This course specifically considers fluid statics, turbomachinery, power cycles, etc.
The program at this stage lacks opportunities for work with large data sets or Excel. An opportunity to incorporate this into a project would be ideal.
The goal in this course is facilitate a project that would help students make connections between course work and industry needs.
We are interested in working with companies to provide outcomes of value - whether this be designs, research, and/or technical reports.
Students in this course have a variety of backgrounds - going into mechanical, chemical, industrial, and civil engineering.
Learners
- Group introduction to employer (group reaches out to set up a meeting time)
- Bi-weekly meetings with employer
- Mid-term update - formal report style
- Technical report
- 10-15 minute presentation to employer and instructor
- Submission of logbooks at the end of the term to course instructor - can be available to employer as well
I am open to altering any of these outcomes to match employer interest.

Project Examples
Requirements
Students in this course are capable of using CAD software such as AutoCAD and Solidworks. These students are able to complete a full design package (technical report) while also having access to 3D printing equipment.
The backgrounds of these students are quite broad and we would be interested in working with potential partners to determine the outcomes which would be most desirable.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Will you be available for bi-weekly meetings with the students?
