Engineering Capstone Project Showcase & Competition
April 9 at 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
Students, faculty and staff at UBC, and members of the Kelowna community are invited to celebrate the innovation, creativity, and intellect of UBC Okanagan School of Engineering’s brightest minds.
At the pinnacle of their academic journey, final-year students in the Applied Science program attempt to solve real-world problems spanning the areas of automation & robotics, design, energy systems, infrastructure & structure, and sustainability. For many of the projects, students partnered with engineering industry leaders or UBC faculty to design innovative solutions to the issues they presented. However, some are student-led projects, making this event a launch pad for their entrepreneurial ideas. All of these pioneering projects will be on display for guests to discover and enjoy at the KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence.
A distinguished panel of judges, comprising of industry leaders and engineering faculty, will then evaluate these projects and the winners will be announced at the event’s grand finale!
You’re invited to check out these innovative student projects, and tour the host facility that includes an interactive aviation exhibit and historic aircraft collection.
Join us for an afternoon of awe-inspiring engineering brilliance!
