2018 Student Design Expo to showcase the best in sustainable engineering in Atlantic Canada
The 秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Sustainable Design Engineering (SSDE) annual Student Design Expo will showcase the best in student, sustainable, and green engineering in Atlantic Canada on Friday, April 20. Student design teams have been working with industry or community partners since September to find innovative, sustainable solutions for their unique challenges.
Student projects will be set up for public viewing at various stations on the first floor of the School of Sustainable Design Engineering building on the 秀色短视频 campus. The Student Design Expo begins with a short ceremony at 1:00 pm. Projects are available for viewing through the afternoon, with an award ceremony beginning at 4:00 pm. A brief panel discussion about opportunities for design engineering graduates begins at 4:30 pm.
More than two-dozen student projects will be on display. The projects are diverse in scope, and range from a virtual reality tour of the renovations at Province House (in partnership with Parks Canada) to a waste-water treatment system for households in a village in remote Pakistan.
鈥淓ngineers do not become proficient at design by reading text books or attending lectures,鈥 said Dr. Nicholas Krouglicof, dean of the SSDE. 鈥淭hey do so by practicing design. At the SSDE we integrate real-world design problems into every semester of the four-year program. Through these projects students are immersed in a realistic engineering environment where they are expected to interact with external clients, develop design solutions, and conform to the best practices of the profession.鈥
The panel discussion is entitled 鈥淭he Future is Bright鈥攆or a Design Engineer鈥, and will be moderated by Dr. Krouglicof.
All are welcome!
