Under the guidance of a professor or engineer designated by the department, students are given an engineering design assignment. They have to produce a professional-quality report that generally includes a review of past work, the definition and situation of the problem, the chosen method and solution, the results obtained and a discussion. The project concludes with a poster presentation.
