Supported by numerous awards, Capstone Design provides Waterloo Engineering students with the unique opportunity to conceptualize and design a project related to their chosen discipline.
As a requirement for the completion of their degrees, Capstone Design challenges student program teams to push their own boundaries, and apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom and on co-op work terms. It reinforces the concepts of team work, project management, research and development.
Each program-specific Capstone event has a unique date, time, and location so please refer to the Capstone Design events page for all listings.
We hope you will check out a program event this year.
