UWindsor Engineering Capstone Design

Welcome to UWindsor Engineering student innovation!

On this page, you'll learn more about the Faculty of Engineering's Capstone Design program and student-driven solutions to real-world problems.

Capstone projects challenge fourth-year engineering students to apply the formal knowledge they’ve gained during their undergraduate studies to tackle societal challenges. Students combine the technical skills and hands-on experience they acquired in school to design a project related to their chosen discipline. 

The team-based projects are the culmination of the undergraduate program and a requirement for degree completion. Students are typically graded on their projects during Capstone Design Demonstration Day held at the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation. 

Do you have a research challenge for our students?

Sponsoring an undergraduate project is a great way for companies to get involved with UWindsor Engineering students, tackle engineering problems in the workforce and recruit top talent. Industry-sponsored projects benefit students by improving communication skills, developing teamwork capabilities, and providing students with real-world, hands-on engineering experience.

If your organization is interested in participating or would like more information about sponsoring a student project, please contact the 2023-2024 capstone coordinators found below.
