Engineering project management Hardware product designSkills
aerospace industry communication constructive feedback advanced manufacturing teamwork project management innovation creativityCentennial College's Advanced Aerospace Project course empowers learners in their final year to design and develop prototypes relevant to the aerospace industry. These students have engineering knowledge and skills in project management, teamwork, and advanced manufacturing processes. The course aims to cultivate initiative and creativity while preparing them for real-world challenges in aerospace. Through this collaboration, employers can guide and mentor future engineers while benefiting from innovative solutions tailored to industry needs.
Employers are expected to maintain regular communication with learners, providing guidance and necessary project information. Additionally, employers should be available for the final presentation and offer constructive feedback to the student teams through the Riipen platform.
Learners
At the end of this collaboration, employers can expect:
- A comprehensive final report detailing the students' findings and recommendations.
- A final presentation where students showcase their project outcomes and respond to any questions from the employer.

Project Examples
Requirements
The ideal projects for this experience should address real-world challenges within the aerospace sector (also open to projects not directly related to aerospace)***. Examples include:
- UAV Design and Development: Create a prototype for an unmanned aerial vehicle that improves efficiency in specific applications.
- Aerospace System Optimization: Develop an enhancement for existing aerospace systems focusing on performance improvements.
- Sustainable Aerospace Solutions: Design a prototype that utilizes sustainable materials or methods in aerospace technology.
- Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Explore innovative manufacturing processes to create components for aerospace applications.
- Safety and Compliance Systems: Design a system that ensures compliance with industry safety standards in aerospace engineering.
***This opportunity is also open to projects beyond aerospace. The goal is to allow students to apply manufacturing technologies, tools, and design solutions commonly used in aerospace manufacturing to related concepts in manufacturing engineering.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
If matched, will this project be reserved solely to the Centennial College student team?
How many team members are committed to providing supervision/mentorship to students for the duration of the project?
Will you be using Riipen or another platform to directly communicate with the student team?
Please list any tools, programs or languages your project requires?
Do you or your team members have flexibility to schedule touch point meetings during student class times?
