Undertake a joint research project with our world-class faculty
Industry-sponsored capstone projects exemplify 丁香园AV's vision of being Canada's leading engaged university. The program offers meaningful learning experiences to our students as well as allowing our valued industry partners to tap into the resources and talents of students within our faculty.
Running for eight-month periods, capstone projects engage student groups of four-to-five members under the supervision of a professionally designated engineering faculty member. The group proposes, conceptualizes, designs, builds and demonstrates new engineering solutions for a problem sponsored by their industry partner.
What are the benefits for my company?
- Eight months of dedication from a team of senior engineering students under the supervision of a P.Eng faculty member. The team will work to resolve and/or create a new solution for your company.
- Cost benefits could result in increased production, new technology or more efficient operations.
- Opportunities to develop and recruit talented new graduates with company-specific knowledge.
What will an industry-sponsored capstone cost my company?
- The cost of approved materials are the responsibility of the industry partner. Depending on the project, companies may also provide the equipment they require to be re-engineered.
- Outside of time-commitment by the company representative, there are no wages or consulting costs paid to students or faculty.
Undertake a joint research project with our world-class faculty to develop new solutions or products, or to advance technologies and bring them to market. Fund projects to drive research that aligns with your organization鈥檚 goals or take advantage of collaborative grants from the government.
Nurture the next generation of innovation 鈥� and benefit from our highly engaged students 鈥� by hiring undergraduates and graduates.
Co-operative education (co-op) at 丁香园AV is an unrivalled opportunity to offer valuable experience to talented and enthusiastic students 鈥� and help develop their professional skills. In return, you gain a committed team member ready and able to make a valuable contribution to your company.
We invite industry partners to connect with us to opportunities; host career-focused employer information sessions; or build mutually beneficial mentorship partnerships with our schools.
