Ran in 2 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course is an extension of MTE 481. Students work on prototyping the designs they proposed and finalized in MTE 481. The students either individually or in small groups demonstrate the working prototypes; make a poster presentation for the design competition; and pitch their product on a website. The projects are monitored by the course instructor and evaluated by the instructor with feedback from an expert judging panel.

  • Continuation of MTE 481, where you actually build the project instead of just theorizing and planning it. Symposium demonstrations did not count towards marks at all, it was 5% website, 5% symposium poster, 40% demo to profs (a week before symposium), and 50% report. A lot of the marks are based on whether or not you hit your constraints and criteria. Knowing engineering students, this will be a grueling 2 weeks of grinding right before symposium. Try to start building early.

  • Most of the time in this course is spent constructing the prototype outlined from MTE 481. Only required 1 final report, the creation of a website, and the symposium presentation for grading. No more logbooks!
