This project-based course is the second in our first-year Engineering Design sequence. In this course, students expand their understanding of engineering design and explore systems comprising electrical, mechanical, and software sub-systems. They apply engineering tools, including CAD tools and microcontroller programs, to create and control physical embodiments of their designs. Students work in teams of 4-5 on projects with specific practical goals using Arduino microcontrollers. These projects require teams to document and present their design solutions, illustrating key aspects using projected slides, engineering graphics, and live demonstrations. Additionally, students learn about sustainability and its impact on engineering design, as well as engineering ethical practices. Students in CPSC 1491 have already completed coursework in programming (C++), engineering drawing, and CAD (SolidWorks). The projects in this course utilize microcontrollers as the central component.

We invite your company to collaborate with our engineering students on an exciting project in the Fall semester. This initiative fosters practical learning for our students and provides your organization with fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. In this class, first year students explore the Engineering design process and develop their ability to use engineering communication tools through individual exercises, labs and a group projects. Working in teams, they examine the technical background of a well-defined problem and use engineering drawing and CAD to design potential solutions. Project Details: Project Commitment:  October 7th & November 25th, 2024. The client will need to attend these days from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm on the Langara campus or virtually. Project presentations are on November 27th but attending this is optional for the client. Optional Collaboration:  Should the students and your organization find mutual interest, there is an opportunity for further collaboration on product design. This is entirely at the discretion of both parties. Why Partner with Us?  Our students are eager to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting under your guidance. By participating in this project, you contribute to their professional growth while benefiting from their creativity and dedication.
