Engineers solve some of our world’s most complex challenges – and UBC Engineering students are already making a difference. For their capstone projects, students work closely with community and industry partners on a defined problem. Applying the knowledge they’ve developed in their classes, students work as a team to develop innovative and practical solutions. Here are a few of their wide-ranging projects.
